You are already assimilated: Complaining on a high level is so austrian ;-)

It reminds me of a very similar discussion on the London's Ruby User Group list
and James pretty much got it right:

it ain't easy but you can find flat without a "Makler", I never paid
any "Provision" in my livetime.


My advise, and the way I'm living, go for a four-day-week or even tree days,
be happy with little less money (2000-2400 should still be doable for us)
and enjoy your life or work one something awesome funny in your spare time.
That little extra (netto) money isn't worth a 40h week.

ciao, tom
