I live right on the German border, rents and real estate prices are lower across the border in Kaldenkirchen than in Steyl, where I live, and this isn't a particularly expensive place to live by Dutch standards - I pay 564 euros a month including service costs for a 70m2 3-bedroom flat that also has a 20m2 cellar that I use as a woodworking shop + to store 2 bikes and a freezer cabinet. Life in the countryside of Germany is cheap. If you do IT work and all you do is sit behind a computer nothing is stopping you from living in the rural areas of the former DDR and have a very large freely disposable income left. But apart from that, yeah, they're enacting pretty economically and socially unwise policies there. Germany is doing away with itself and has been for decades.

300 euros for formal attire every month is absolute nonsense! Buy a dress suit for 200 euros which doesn't come with folds in the trouser legs and you can wash it on hand really easily. Even one with folds in the legs is doable but you'd have to fiddle with laundry clips and wire to keep it looking like new after washing - avoid it if you like but once you get the hang of it it is doable - you could even make your own drying frame from electrical wire. Also, a dress shirt made from 100% cotton costs 20 euros and it doesn't even require ironing, you throw it in the tumble drier with a few ice cubes and it comes out without any folds, then you reinforce the collar with special clips which cost a few Euros on Amazon and gently apply a solution of 95% water and some corn starch to the collar to stiffen it. You'd need 2 suits as a bare minimum so just buy a few if they're offered with a discount. I have been doing this for 15 years and still have 2 suits from 2008 which I would not at all be ashamed to wear to a job interview, let alone to office. And they were not expensive but just run-off-the-mill stuff from C&A. It only requires not having a heavily non-standard physique, if you're either very slender and tall or very bulky (like a body builder - not so much like a fatso - fat people are numerous enough that finding fitting clothes isn't hard) but even in that case it'd work but one'd need to buy the suit a size or 2 too big and having them amended by a tailor. Combine the look with a nice tie and a 30 euros wrist watch and you're done.

Western Europe is experiencing a slow but steady return to barbarism thanks to open borders + dysgenic fertility due to the welfare state (artificially driving up lower class fertility) and toxic social values stemming from leftism + the downfall of organised religion have kept the birth rates among the intelligent artificially low, both in tandem lead to a rapid decline in general intelligence each generation, and that has been going on for 2 generations now, society is both becoming dumber, more violent (violent crime is on the rise, and becoming more brutal while petty crimes like shoplifting teenagers is on the decline). Society is becoming dumber across the board: people with an IQ that would mean they became primary school teachers are now becoming professors, the mechanical engineer from nowadays is comparable in intelligence to a skilled mechanic from 60 years ago, and I literally know old class mates who needed remedial teaching who managed to graduate from college with a primary school teacher's licence. Can you imagine the idea that you have an IQ of 120, and someone with two-thirds of your IQ who got an education degree thanks to diploma inflation + compensating for being dumb through hours and hours of rhote memorisation (learning skills but having no clue how to practically apply them just like a monkey in a circus) is having to teach your children to read and do calculus? And no, this is not a joke. About 1 in 50 people with an IQ score of 75 have a college degree and virtually all of them are educators. Thilo Sarrazin warned Germany that this was happening in his book 'Deutschland Schafft Sich Ab' in 2010 but he wasn't listened to. His criticism is applicable to every Western European nation in varying degrees. One can do 2 things as a result: flee the sinking ship like a pathetic little rat. Or stay behind and vow to fight for the preservation of one's civilisation. I chose the latter: my wife and I are expecting our first child of hopefully many to come (she's 29 so we might have 6 or so) and we're raising our family as members of an SSPX-affiliated Catholic parish and she has a well-paying job + I have a cheap but large rental appartment on a permanent lease + a guaranteed income from a liability insurance firm of which one of the clients once ran me off my bike with her car. We could actually live off a single salary without missing out on anything except expensive holidays or driving a new car (a 25-year old minivan is fine with me) and I'll homeschool the children and teach them how to read and write and do arithmetic, will teach them the piano, and basic harmony, counterpoint and analysis, + instill them with nationalistic and religious values and keep them away from social media and from degenerate popular culture, so they're optimally prepared to live life in a future where, thanks to societal collapse, they'll have to fend for themselves and their community and expect no help from the government, which is collapsing as well. But not everyone (rather: few people) have the tenacity and resourcefulness as well as the patriottic instincts required to do that so they either emigrate (and take their lousy values with them - good riddance) or stay and indulge in self-destructive hedonism while not having any children.
