I have been to a few of the meetings and they always have great information.

If I was starting out today I imagine it would be much worse, the result of (mis)information that is so prevalent and readily available on social media. 

My very first post here!

I do not inform the lender.

I posted a few times while my wife and I were looking for our vacation home.

Do I file any yearly tax information on my 1040?

It is never too early to start, and I think a great first step was posting on BP. 

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

It seems to me that in Germany, being wealthy is a disgrace (seeing that from a tax and legal perspective).Now I don‘t want to post here about how „difficult“ it is living in Germany, but instead I am looking for people that think the same way. 

@Johana Villamil thanks for the post!
