Why People in Wealthy Countries Don’t Feel Wealthy

Описание: In this video, we examine the gap between national wealth and everyday financial security, using Germany as a concrete example.

While Germany ranks among the world’s largest economies, many households experience rising living costs, limited financial buffers, and growing insecurity. By looking at income, prices, rents, and wealth distribution, this video explains why economic prosperity on paper does not automatically translate into a feeling of wealth in daily life.
