You make less than 9k a year? Are you a teenager, or living in a low cost country?

I tend to exaggerate, but my actual income is just under €12,000 a year. Adult german but can't work full time for health reasons. But even with a average income here you would rarely go over 25.000€, which is still a joke in comparison what this guy makes.

True. I grew up in the Netherlands where things are similar but now live in New Zealand. The highest tax bracket in NZ is the lowest tax bracket in the Netherlands.
