50 Pictures Prove That Germany Is Heaven On Earth For Locals And Tourists
Germany is the 7th happiest country, and for good reason. We're about to find out why.
There's a reason why Germany stands as the 7th happiest country in the world. A country is happy when the locals are content, and when visiting tourists wish they could stay there.
The quality of life in Germany is among the highest in the world! People there can actually decide how many hours they'd like to work in a given week.
Germans prioritize love, access to healthcare, education, sports, and hobbies. They take this very seriously.
The ability to control the number of work hours gives them the break they need to polish their talents, connect with their loved ones, and even enjoy some alone time.
Their early closing hours, low cost of living, numerous public holidays, and efficient transportation are just the cherry on top. Everyone in Germany follows the rules.
Although taxes may be higher compared to other countries, it's still a win-win because they don't feel like a noose tightening around their necks. Of course, Germany wasn't always this happy.
Back in 2004, Germans were among the unhappiest due to high unemployment rates, but that's history now. Today, 75% of Germans between the ages of 15 and 64 have a job that pays well and offers security!
Cool, right? Here are more facts that prove that Germany is the best place to live for a great quality of life.
