What is the consumption level in Germany, especially in West Germany? How much is it a month?

The consumption level is not too high.

Among the four basic living expenses, clothing and food account for a very small proportion, while housing and transportation account for a large proportion. Germans spend a lot of money on houses, cars and holidays. More than 60% of Germans choose to rent instead of buying a house.

The reason for renting is simple: renting is more cost-effective than buying a house. Even in a busy area, a three-bedroom apartment is only 800- 1000 euros, and it can be rented in a remote place for 600 euros. Most importantly, Germany provides special protection for the rights and interests of renters, and lessors are not allowed to raise prices at will. Both parties can sign a contract for 5 years or even 10 or 20 years.

Once the contract is signed, the rent will never change. If there is a problem with the house, the lessor will be responsible for the maintenance and bear the expenses.

About 15% of Germans inherited their ancestral heritage, so they don't need to buy a house or rent a house. From this calculation, only about 25% of Germans buy a house. The most expensive places in Germany are Munich, Stuttgart and Frankfurt.

Even in the most expensive areas, the house price is only 3000 euros/square meter, and the house price in most cities is between 800 and 2000 euros/square meter. The average monthly income of Germans is 3000 euros.
