I don't have many hours, so it's just over 200€ for me, before tax(23%), live with my mum, she makes less than minimum wage(Unemployed at the moment, with no unemployment subsidy, all money from savings), so I help with some bills(Mainly internet and electricity, though sometimes gas).

She still managed to raise two kids on that much and still have enough left to have a decent lifestyle, we are better off than a lot of people around here.

Anyway, sorry for the thread hijacking.

You guys also pay more tax. Our tax I believe is still at 13%.

I know what it's like being unemployed though. It sucks having to scrape money together and watching your savings dwindle and it puts a lot of stress on those involved.

It's okay
