RE: Шампанско за смет? Champagne for Trash?
It's a difference, but I assume the costs of living also play a role. Both isn't much.
Can be one is better off working somewhere else, although Lidl also offers education. No need to finish some school to be a manager.
How about the taxes?
Interesting Kaufland belongs to the same club... For sure there are cartel agreements. They will push out all the small businesses.
No Kaufland in Hungary and Hungary News frequently mentions Spar, Tesco and Aldi want to leave the country. More left for Lidl if they leave and Penny Market and the small shops.
True and true!
The government says we have the lowest wage taxes in EU , flat 10% no matter how big the salary is.
Then, however, comes a big injustice. Even the minimal wage, that is is very hard to live on with, also get taxed. Then, when you add the obligatory health, two pensions and unemployment taxes, it all jumps to 20% or more.
Then, consider the fact Bulgaria is the only country in EU that has 20%VAT on all food and other stuff needed. That pushes up food prices a lot too. The state is happy, more money for corrupted politicians to steal...
Penny had many stores in Bulgaria like ten years ago but they all went bankrupt due to poor management, I think it was then Checz subsidiarity and they forced only Checz managers and that didn't play well in the long run.
Have a great Sunday!
Perhaps this news makes you happy...we have taxes on everything!
Income/salary even social help income!
Gifts,inherence included so no need to buy a house and leave it to your children.
Annual taxes over the house you own or...rent!
Annual taxes (besides of the monthly) over water and garnish
Taxes for dog owners
Monthly raxes for owning a car! No matter if you drive it.
We also lay taxes over taxes we paid taxes over.
The new taxes will be the freedom taxes where the lower your income is, the more you pay!
The monthly basic health insurance is about 129 euros and the first 885 euros you should pay yourself. No dentist included, nothing.
Rich you are if you have no loans, no debts, own nothing they can charge you (house, car) extra and are not forced to take extra (life) insurances.
I wish you a super start of the week. Let's count our blessings or Steem or euro cents and ignore the bills.

Well, such "news" never make me happy.
It's just how we designed our world. Or rephrase it better, how we let our world to be designed and managed. Sometimes I think perhaps it wouldn't be such a bad idea some alien collective mind to come and "restart" this all in a better way, if there is such one. There is too much suffering now, everywhere.
With regards to taxes - everything here is also taxed. The only thing that isn't taxed (directly) is if one wins from the national lottery and then everybody knows it is rigged. They are so sloppy that on one of the games, it's called "5 out of 35", the ball that came out of the rotating sphere was "41". Can you imagine...
I'd say - people deserve this, as even after this screwup, they keep giving their hard earned money to this scam. Officially, 50% of the money given stays with the lottery and allegedly goes to "support the local culture and sport" but in reality, it is much more, evidently. Then even if anyone wins the jackpot, you can't have to whole amount paid, it becomes a monthly payment over a period of 20+ years. As I said - people deserve this, as they are buying this shit ;)
I guess I'm kinda lucky, as after I paid my mortgage more than 10 years ago, I decided to never loan anything again and so far I keep this. It gives certain freedom.
I agree with you - everything we own, is simply a burden...
Thank you and have a great (rest of the) week ahead!
