Who says nothing important happens over the summer holidays? A study released today (reported by Spiegel Online) claims German children received €1.85 billion in pocket money last year - €27 per month each, nearly 10% up on the year before.
Lucky them. When I was a lad...
The Germans are not normally the kind of people to give away money they can't afford: this is another example of how Germany's economy has been unaffected and even thrived through the Euro Crisis - at least, up until now.
Kids, I wouldn't count on being able to afford that new Playstation next year.
