Been here a bit over 18 months, so far so good.
I have a Wife and a Daughter (who goes to nursury).
In USD terms, we are putting away about 2.5K per month, without too much trouble.
We live a relatively simple existence, but enjoy good food, wine, and catching up with friends.
There are definitely two types of people here, the ones such as ourselves who are sensible, or at the very least have a bit of a plan. Then there are the types who want the newest flashiest items, eat out 5-6 times a week, drive the flashiest cars...designer cloths..cosmetic surgery for wifes etc etc, who then complain about never having any money.
Its not THAT bad here, but wobetide if you ever inject some balance into a discussion here on PPrune
