No. Minimum by law in Germany is 20 days paid vacation and depending on the employer you get additional days.

All the Japanese language resources for a lifetime you need and then some more for lessons if you want.

• Wanikani and Bunpro might be about 300€ together for a lifetime.
• A few grammar books with extra exercises, like Genki, would be less than 200€ I think.
• Writing supplies, a computer, Internet access etc is assumed.
• 500€ Could likely get private tutoring for quite a few lessons I think. You may also want to look at courses by the nearby university or language school, or get additional support resources.

Japanese learning resources are really amazing nowadays. Tons of good free content too, like articles on grammar or YouTube Videos by people explaining stuff. If you cut Wanikani and Bunpro and go with Anki (FOSS) instead for SRS, you can go really cheap.

That is, the price you pay for learning the Japanese language is also that it takes a fuck ton of time to get anywhere. But then again, you understand Japanese after that, how cool is that??

To explain it quickly: You know Heteronormativity, the fact that many people are hetero and assume others are too. This is a similar normativity. Many people (depends on where you live yadda yadda) always drive everywhere and never consider a world where cars are not their only/primary way to get around. They will fail to imagine cities where cars are not as important or common, because they associate transport=car. This is harmful, because cars are in fact very inefficient for most tasks and have pretty bad side effects such as taking tons of valuable space in a city or noise or pollution.

Was in Berlin last week and it was like an island of transit infrastructure in the sea of delayed S-Bahn and long/mid distance travel that is Germany. S-Bahn, Trams, Busses, U-Bahn, and it’s all frequent and not undersized!

The “bug causes death” thing can be ticked for everything safety critical. Starts with the small electronics in an elevator.

Why JK though? There are many financial options to at least get more returns than inflation, working for people without fuck you money too. It takes some financial education that we likely have to learn ourselves, but there are options. And it’s possible to reasonably lower risks and costs enough by selecting the right financial products.

Though obviously, if you just buy what the bank guy says, the bank will make the profits, not you.
