    I once had a friend, which gf had to send him like 10Euro per month, for him to get monthly more than minimal wage which was considered “middle class” for some fucking reason in this country.

    He was so emotional about this shit, that I am still not sure if he was for real about that or not…

        I bet it’s for their bank. At least in Europe, many banks charge for your account if your income is below a threshold. My partner can’t work full time so I send them like 50€ per month so that they don’t have to pay bank fees. Which is ridiculous, as we have our 3 accounts all at the same bank.

          Nah, he was too young and student too, so not bank income tax yet.

          He just wanted to feel better than those “bottom class losers”. And I do not joke. He study economics.
