hmpfIn Germany, when you earn very little money and don't have a lot of capital (no more than six times the amount of savings that I have), you can get some money from the state to help you pay your rent. Nice, isn't it? Why am I not making use of this, you wonder?
Well: I'm too poor to qualify for that type of help. See, the support is only granted when you earn very little money - not when you earn *none*. When you earn nothing at all, the social services people will assume you must be hiding something from them, because, after all, nobody can *live* when they earn no money at all, right?
