In Germany you can get a small apartment paid for by the government if you're unemployed. I'm guessing OP was comparing working to rent a nice apartment vs. living on government support somewhere in the middle of nowhere. I mean Utah also has cheap homes (but no jobs) whereas California has great jobs (but no cheap homes).


You get sanctions if you don't try interviews.

And you only get it after all your riches are gone.

After that your Rente/retirement money will become a real struggle.

I don't envy anyone going this road but I also don't mind it.


The German government doesn't relocate you to Timbuktu if you are on benefits, you get to keep living in your city and maybe even your neighborhood.
