I bank with Santander. Free account, free credit card. They don't have many locations but you can use ATM's that have the cashpool logo, I think Targo bank, Sparda and a few others

This is an example, but it is this way each and every bloody time. Products 53,90€ Shipping 12,97€ Tax 11,08€ Total 69,41 The VAT in Italy is 22% No matter how I attempt to play with the numbers above, nothing works. I even tried using a 19% VAT. I also worked it without taxing the posting. Maybe t...

I found this: https://www.deutsche-rentenversicherung ... zicht.html

Cat litter, interesting! Isn't that a bit expenive for a large area? Think I've found a delivery company, hopefully a small sack will turn up tomorrow. Am trying to avoid driving in these conditions. Got spooked a couple of years ago when someone slid into my car on a bad local bend in light snow. ...

I completely agree, TK have just contacted me and asked for Steuerbescheid despite me having informed them already of pension income from the UK. I have the same thing with AOK every year. They want estimated income to calculate my current contributions and Steuerbescheid to correct the past if my ...

It's snowing in Salzgitter for sure. I shoveled this morning. Was maybe 20cm thick but windy so in some areas you have more. I got the bus into town today and the bus driver said they stopped driving to Braunschweig because the bus got stuck. Apparently the train isn't running either but they have a...

I remember insurance being some kind of headache when I arrived here a million years ago. TK would not insure me because I didn't come here from an EU country and I did not have a job yet so I am guessing that you need your employer to take care of your insurance.

What if you rent a room from someone and the bills are in their name? :D Apparently they will accept these: Utility Bills: Electric, water, gas, internet, cable (within 90 days). Financial/Housing: Deed, mortgage statement, rental lease, property tax bill. Vehicle/Insurance: Texas vehicle registrat...

Meh. Visited my son in Texas some years ago, went to the DMV and got a license for $15 using his address. My Virginia one was expiring. Now I have a German one so I can drive in the U.S. or if necessary in DE. A lot of things have changed though. Everything was easier some years ago. Texas now requ...

Sorry I had no idea. But taking a more difficult test in a different state being illegal is kind of funny! The other way round I get. x Many states require residency in order to get a license there so you need a rental agreement, utility bill or something. It's kind of the same in the EU. You are s...

> Your bigger problem is that CA has no reciprocity with DE, which means that you'll need to take courses and tests to get a DE license. Note CA to me is California. Perhaps you think I mean Canada. Sorry for the confusion. I have no interest in getting a German drivers license, as I hate driving a...

Age UK have asked Ryanair to not forget about the 4.3 million older people who do not use a smartphone and recommends that there must always be an alternative to digital processing. As quoted on the first reply on this thread, you do not need a smart phone. You can check in online on a computer and...

If you legally owe them, it's not going to help reversing the SEPA payments because they will charge you again and maybe add a processing fee for their troubles. They don't really care if your daughter was there. Just that you had a valid contract. Google tells me that new contracts as of March 1, 2...

This article is kind of sobering :( and I'm wondering what our local Icelandic guy here on TT thinks about it. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/nov/15/icelandic-is-in-danger-of-dying-out-because-of-ai-and-english-language-media-says-former-pm The world is about to end too, isn't it? 8-) Since...

It is still possible to get good support when you get the right person on the right website. I told him we are now best friends. He agreed. :D Yeah, and then you can get the wrong person too. A few weeks ago, Telekom offered me to upgrade my internet to glasfaser, faster internet, same price. When ...

This seems to be the development. You need to be online to do things or you run into problems and/or have to pay extra. The first I've heard of an airport check in fee was a year ago and it was eurowings. I usually check in online. I used to print my boarding passes. I don't anymore. You can have yo...

He wants you to move to his ranch and have his babies

A friends daughter went on school exchange to Canada last year. If she would have stayed the full winter, she would not have gotten credit and would have lost a year. She had another option which was to come back in Feb. which would allow her to complete the school year here without a loss so that i...
