    That sign hits hard.

    Rough translation: “I want to live, not survive”

    Maybe an English tweak to keep the similarity of words “I want to live, not be lavish”

      Man German can get really goofy sometimes. That said I think “live” and “survive” is as close as you’re going to get. Those are the two words English speakers use to make this distinction.
