German here, 30% of income after taxes was the rule since a few decades, but in reality many people are closer to 50% now. How do you manage 15%?

EDIT: Oh, right, just saw the 8k income. That's C-Level money here.

I am C-level and also German.

It's a lot but certainly nowhere near C-level.

High risk, high reward I guess. Less social security, more immediate gain.

You misunderstand me, I'm German myself. That's nowhere near C-level, at least not in the bigger corporations. 8k a month is not even 100k a year. Engineers can earn that.

8k after taxes? That's like 16k before.

I was thinking before actually. There's our misunderstanding. Never mind.
