115k€ gross, that gives you about 67k€ net. 5600€ per month. Minus a 2200€ mortgage, 400€ of health insurance, 1200€ of childcare, 200€ for the car repayment and insurance, 200€ for the water/electricity/internet and 800€ of groceries, that leaves me with a whopping 600€ per month.

My class interests are infinitely closer to a part-time starbucks barista than they are to a millionaire.

Yeah, you and the Youngstown tool and die workers, it's hard to believe the class solidarity wasn't more obvious to me.
