Yes, those were my words, but I didn't mean to put down the people who are hunched over, making and doing things or who are the reason why this place is still running at all. But well, I'll just take the blame for the fact that we misunderstood each other because I simply wrote too vaguely at that point and, especially on this internet, you can misunderstand a lot of things.
I haven't looked up what the current minimum wage is, but of course it's too little otherwise it wouldn't be the minimum wage. But it's an eternal cycle. For whatever reason, many things are becoming more and more unaffordable, I'll just say stupidly you get 10 increases but only one of them is compensated by an increase.
Fortunately, I personally don't have the problems that others unfortunately have at the end of the month, even though I don't think my collectively agreed wage is that far away from the minimum wage anymore. For me, however, it was/is also because, to name a few examples, I didn't go anywhere big, I said I wasn't going to invest more than necessary in the one-bedroom apartment and, for example, I don't have a car for which I'm allowed to pay stupidly.
I can only guess at the costs that arise as a father or mother or couple, if at all, as I only have to provide for myself so far, but that wasn't easy in the past when I think back to my mom alone, how she got me and my siblings through, and it probably hasn't gotten any easier these days.
and on the subject of insurance, I can't help but think of the one bird who would think it was great if the first day of sick leave wasn't paid.
Someone would easily want to fob you off with self-blame, I don't see it any differently. after all, not everyone can do or become one, but I don't think that's your point, but I would also say that everyone has their reasons etc. why they are doing what they are doing.

The minimum wage is €12.82/h gross.
My contribution was intended as a criticism of companies/institutions, among other things. It can't be that I get 2 increases in October 2024 and then in January 2025. I don't earn the world and I MUST currently pay €145 a month, regardless of the hourly rate. I'm still a student, so unfortunately nobody pays my health insurance. I don't pay any taxes for this, but it's really awesome when I think that I HAVE to pay over €1,500 a year for health insurance alone. If I don't do this, I will be de-registered. With this €10 increase, the contribution - at least for 2025 - has gone up by €120. In order to survive, you have to work a good 20 hours a week, otherwise it will be difficult - even with an hourly wage of €15. There are quite a few people who take out a kfw loan and run up huge debts. But that's another topic. Then most people wonder why you're studying for ages. Either you're a workaholic and can manage full-time study and part-time work at the same time, or you have parents who can easily afford it, or you have to see for yourself how you can finance it all.

I've only just seen this. It's really derogatory. So someone who works full-time doesn't deserve to have 1,400 or 1,500 euros? That's really disgusting! No matter what job, if they work full-time, they deserve to live decently. That's absolute madness what you write. And you think that if wages go up then everything will be more expensive? I can only see how everything is getting more expensive but wages aren't rising. You're really out of touch with reality or just living from above. Unbelievable!

He has already apologized for the vague wording.
To be honest, I can't think of any jobs at the moment that shouldn't be paid at least €13 per hour. It's not about the amount, but about the purchasing power. The €13 may be worth a little less than €8 in 2015. I haven't calculated it that precisely, it's just an estimate.
With less hourly pay, you certainly can't finance your own life and you would have to apply for social assistance.
Just looking at the rents. You can't currently find a room for less than €500, except in some villages or something.

kK-Hans recently a) made a mistake and b) got a new health Insurance notification today. Nothing, just under 50% more than 10 years ago...85% more than back then. From 2024 to 2025 alone, exactly 14.16%...Naturally packaged in a sugar-sweet text that was supposed to encourage the reader to persevere and prevent them from freaking out. But it didn't work out so well.

I don't know what it's like for self-employed people, but it's generally advisable to compare. You save a lot of money.
Unfortunately, I can't switch because I still get the student tariff (with the other health insurance companies this might not apply).
By the way, congratulations on your elite rank

Thank you, Frapi. I'll have a look at the video tonight when I'm hopefully a bit less annoyed by all the hikes in this country ....that letter really hit home. I'm normally also a comparator/changer in many things, in order to at least come off reasonably favorably, insofar as I can influence it. I've actually neglected the health insurance issue so far, but it doesn't have to stay that way. I'm going to get into the subject. I obviously need a kind of "elite partner"

Here you go I can understand your displeasure, as I've already had an increase recently. But the bottom line is that I'm still getting off cheaply at the moment, so I just have to accept it. I'm lucky that I have a lot of benefits at work, which is why my pay increases accordingly. But it wasn't always like that. There were also times when I only received the minimum wage. So when I think about the fact that I could "only" earn €12.82 per hour and still have to accept this increase, I realize how lucky I am. Back then I was paid €10 an hour and since then many things have become much more expensive, so I'm sure that the increase of €2.82 per hour wouldn't have been enough to compensate.
