In Germany you don't earn money beyond the 12th month, but you do get "Weihnachtsgeld" in most cases. I've already calculated everything and I don't know how YOU managed to live on that money, but I couldn not! After all the taxes, daily cost of living (phone bill, i-net, food etc.) and the rent, there's almost NOTHING left. There's NO way I could save money for a trip to Japan or anywhere else! :( At least not when living in Germany with a low salary (1500-2200€). :(
I know that money doesn't make one happy. I just don't want to go back to my old lifestyle where I couldn't afford ANYTHING and always had to worry if the money will last until the end of the month. Traveling ANYWHERE even just a short train ride within Germany was IMPOSSIBLE! I wasn't very happy back then!
And if I have a job that I don't enjoy much, but have to do in order to survive, I'd rather earn "enough" money with it so that I can at least afford traveling and stuff! :(
