Yeah, but here it isn't. The average house here is 300.000 € Okay? So you might think we're all spoiled and rich, but reality is that we may earn more, but also have to spend a lot more..
Im not sure where you are Arien, but I think the average housing here is around 200.000, the cheapest are from 100.000 but plenty reach the 300.000 as well and even more :-o.
Actually the weather here has been great lately, upto 10°c :-D. But didn't you hear? We took all the savings from Holland and UK and now every citizen has to pay it for next 30-40 years :-/
