Is it just consumerism and materialism or do they have not enough income? In Germany, 50% do not have any savings. Over 60% of those who have savings do save less than 100€ per mounth. Maybe just 50 or 20.
10 million people over here (1/8) have to live with 102€ per week, for everything exept rent. This means electricity, groceries, hygiene, clothes & shoes, insurances, whiteware (new or repair), puplic transport or a car (obligated insurance, gas, repairs), maybe pets, TV, hobbies,... everything with 102€. How much can there be left to save it?
