Hello everyone,
I have often wondered what typical “building mistakes” from the 2010s and 2020s will be seen as in a few decades. Would you like to speculate together?
I mean, in the 1970s, it was considered stylish and modern to cover bathroom walls with brown tiles all the way to the ceiling and combine them with sunny yellow sanitary ceramics. Back then, no one could have imagined that this would one day be regarded as unattractive.
Will vinyl flooring and laundry connections on the first floor be seen as typical but now outdated features of our time? Floor-to-ceiling windows? “Smokey eyes” (dark window tinting)? Which elements will make the next generation shake their heads and wonder about our questionable taste?

My husband didn’t either You probably moved out quite early or you’re city kids? In rural areas (meaning places with up to 4 bus lines per day), people usually have a car by 18, and of course that requires a parking space.

My husband neither Mobility needs from 10 years ago were quite different from today’s. And they will continue to change in the future.
You also have to distinguish whether you live in the city or outside of it. Our street in the city is full of cars. No snowplow can get through anymore. I’m glad that when I move into my new build with a double garage.

My husband neither We’re living in the same world, nothing was given to me either. Stocking shelves like I did at 16 at the grocery store for 6DM/hour – they probably won’t experience that anymore.
If I had to pay, the only thing I’d get would be a driver’s license, if anything at all. But all that’s nicely handled by the grandparents, who have been funding the savings accounts since birth.

In my future, the car will come via an app, and I won’t need all that anymore. Or at least my children won’t More likely the future of your children, if everything doesn’t fall apart before then

At 15, I delivered newspapers, and at 16, I stocked shelves at Praktiker. At 17, I started an apprenticeship nearly 400 meters (approximately 1,300 feet) away from home. But having a car at 18 was mandatory. I paid for it myself with saved confirmation money, among other things. I think many people over 30 here can relate to this experience.
