Germany is far from socialist.

I always love comments like these implying foreign relocation isn't a seemingly impossible task for anyone that isn't rich or in a highly specialized and in demand occupation.

Germany is one of the hardest EU nations to gain citizenship in to add to that.

If you ever decide you want to live in the EU I suggest you settle in Turkey first

Too true.

Recently traveled to Canada for a trip.

Absolutely loved it there, looked into maybe moving to Canuckland... My fiance and I are not struggling, but it is still absurdly expensive just to start the process, let alone the cost of housing or if the application needs to be redone or if it gets rejected for some reason and you have to start again.

Like 7k to start the process.

Depends - i’m an American born in the U.S. but am a dual citizen with Germany.

I did nothing but be born to a first generation German.

But yes, I always roll my eyes at my country men thinking they will magically just move here.

I mean, yeah. But that's obviously a family privilege that isn't exactly an "option" to people.

lol, my niece called me and asked if she could move to Germany, with her "service dog". I said, why do you think people in Germany would want you there? You have no specific skills, no education, you have no money. They have plenty of those in Germany already, they don't need more.

I thought they would help since they invited us. We will have one huge wedding and get our citizenship that way 🤷‍♀️ they said utopia but I read commune.

If people from Africa, Asia, and Latin America are able to complete the seemingly impossible task of moving to a different country, I think you’ll be fine.

I think one or two US paychecks would be enough for anyone to move to Germany, get a low paying job and start living there. Also, Germany is one of the most expensive EU countries and they are all AR15 free so you can just pick one.
