Last year I worked for little more than two months as a manual laborer and earned around 2000€, net of taxes. Then I had to pay on that more taxes, 250€, plus another slice of 600€ as "future predicted taxes on potential earnings" and now, it seems, I have to pay another 400€ to compensate for the exit money I got from the job (little more than 100€). To add up, I have 500€ of car insurance, 150€ of car taxes and the thing never leaves the garage anyway, because petrol is too expensive to justify using it. My car is at the moment in need of service as there's something that doesn't work. Ah, there was an earthquake that left me pretty much homeless. I never bought anything for myself in order to save money for a rainy day, I even buy the cheapest food and now I have almost nothing left, for no reason.
And then they wonder why the suicide rate in our country skyrocketed.
