Hey OP, where are you? I am anxious to know your final decision. I think Paris is the place for you, not Berlin. That is my recommendation based upon your statements in this thread. I am not saying Paris or Berlin is a better place; I'll leave that to the warring posters here.
Incomes in the UK are falling because inflation is higher than wage growth. This is not a permanent situation, and will probably change this year as inflation continues to fall (1.9% currently) and wage growth accelerates. Indeed, wages are set to grow in real terms this year for the first time in years, so don't get ahead of yourself - the squeeze on the average Brits' finances will end soon enough, and we'll have a growing economy, low unemployment and falling prices/rising incomes. Things have taken a while to get going, and we were in the doldrums until the past year or so, but we're really taking off now, and the situation is pretty good overall. We still have a few structural problems to attend to, such as the imbalance between between exports, imports and our over-dependence on finance, but those problems exist in all countries to varying degrees.
Too little inflation is not necessarily good either, and deflation is not a desirable situation (ask Greece). As long as inflation remains below wage growth, it isn't a big deal, and it's better to have some inflation than to have deflation.
I don't know enough about the German economy to make an accurate comment. I will leave the Germans to do their part.
It's pointless to explain this to him. First, the French were lazy and are all on welfare, then they are the most productive country there is.
I'm not trying to knock France, but right now France is in very bad shape, and that is something one should consider.

Give me some reasons plz because I really don't see! It is not because we have a "high" unemployment (it has always been the case since 1600 because our system "works like this" with a high unemployment but it is uncomparable with other countries because unemployment in France has nothing to do with unemployment in US or in UK ...etc )
France is the rare country on the road to a good economic future.
I am never wrong regarding economic forecasts.

I agree with you about France's economy. France cannot be compared to other countries because it is a different system. However, France, along with many other places in Europe, does have a terrible problem with its muslim immigrants. They are not assimilating into society as immigrants everywhere should. They are not paying into the social service system, just taking. They were brought in to help the economy grow, and instead they have become a drag on the economy.

What the heck are you talking about? It's not just high unemployment. You know what comes with that? Crime, urban decay, poverty etc.
Does Saint-Denis ring a bell? ( Or Marseille..lol)
What's your economic forecast? Do tell.

Lol it is so hilarious.
There are less crime in the entire France than in New York City.
for 100 000 inhabitants:
UK rate 1,2
France rate 1,1
Canada rate 1,6
USA rate 4,2
Marseille 2,1 (less than in the USA...)
And France has one of the lowest poverty rate in the world with Norway!
7% for France
15% in the USA
16% in Germany
7% means there is no poverty in France. Most French are very very rich compared to an American person for instance.
Minimum wage is 1200€ net a month and if you are unemployed (never worked) you receive between 700 and 1500€net a month.. So poverty can t exist. Homeless people in France are from the rest of Europe...
French people are the richest people in the world after Swiss and Australian...so what are you talking about. Go study!

The repeat misuse of the world "muslims" is a blatant sign of racism.

So what I said is correct, but I am a racist for saying it because you don't like to hear the truth.
