Still, the "buying a house" thing kind of got to me when I was fresh out of school. According to statistics, my salary was actually in the top 10% of salaries in Germany (it wasn't that much, just goes to show how little most people earn), yet buying a house or apartment with that salary seemed elusive. The only way to afford it would have been to inherit some money from the parents.
That was one of the major reasons why I became so critical of just being employed and "working for the man". I just didn't feel like I would ever be able to escape the rat race.
