I really don’t feel like working, and I don’t want to apply for jobs either. It’s so terribly exhausting.

This sentence makes me think that OP doesn’t want to work at all but I may be mistaken.

Regarding living on welfare in Germany. Yes, it’s not much but if you compare that to the U.S.A. then you are good off.

I never lived there so my opinion is purely based on reading and videos I’ve been seeing over the years. From having a job and a roof over your head to being homeless seems to be just a step away. Then you have those stories of people having 2 or 3 jobs. Are those cases really so isolated or is it a reality for lots of people?

In Germany this is unthinkable.

That’s the keyword. American. OP is most likely living in Germany where you get money from the government even if you don’t work. It may be little but enough to survive. This is the reason that people there may choose to not work at all. Quite sad I must say.

I would not be able to vegetate like this. I need and want to work. It’s not fun but a part of life.

Anyway. Hope things will someday get better where you are so you don’t have to work only to survive but can enjoy life a bit more.

I was living in Spain for 25 years and there we would definitely use vosotros. Ustedes is used in middle and South America.
