The prices are very realistic, nice video . The cost of living in Netherlands if someone want to stay in big cities, it’s so expensive…

[s.hakken]

As a Dutchee can confirm, this is a very realistic budget

This video is really important. Recently my family (family of 3. parent and one child) was planning a relocation to Netherlands due to a job offer, but the gross salary was 2900, after looking this video and the house market our conclusion was "that's a hilarious salary to think of a family relocation"

Thanks a lot. My husband and I have decided to move there in a few months, and your video gave us really good information about housing ❤

I know this renting pain 😮 now 1 person room in Waalwijk cost about 700, when I came to NL 9 years ago it was 300-400e and basic salary not double. For mortgage we pay 1370€ which way better then renting😊 good movie btw

What would you advuce a person contemplating going to the Netherlands for a phd? As compared to Norway

Especially with the housing issue

I am moving in January 25 to Groningen, thanks for all the info

When you calculate required income in order to make 3500 net per month you should point that there is a big difference whether you're making money alone or as a couple because of taxes. If you earn minimum wage (13, 27 euros per hour) and work 36 hour a week you'll earn ~2100 euros per month gross and pay almost no taxes for that which gives you ~1950 net. So working couple can't earn less than 3900 euros per month.

Great video once again! I'm also interested in a Tesla, but insurance prices were insane, like 180 euros or more. Which insurance company do you have? I was using Independer up to now, and I even have 2 year driving experience in NL

Thanks mate!

Its so xpensive here in NL...no wonder people cant do much anymore and life is so monoton.
Nothing is moving and nothing change. The samething everyday.

When they live in a deep rural area, making a step to city cost a fortune for family of 4 just to do 1 day sighseeing.
Thats why the community is just like a circle, stirring in the same bowl, marrying their own relatives and they became territorial because those people never moved and they dont accept outsider / stranger to stay peacefully.

The health care costs are not accurate. There is a 360 euro own risk. That means yi uhave to pay for things that are not essential. E.g prescriptions, dental xrays etc in some cases. Thenlower packages dont cover much, so yes, you can pay 120 month, but a more realistic cost is 180 or 200 to get good coverage, but you still pay the own risk.

[СергейДрузь-ьж]

Is the internet fast enough?

Is dentistry affordable in Netherlands, particularly crowns and implants? Is the quality excellent?

If my income come from YouTube and Spotify, does this mean that I won't need to pay any taxes from that after getting tax residency in Georgia? (Because of the 0% on foreign-sourced income)
(Amazing video btw)

[Siriusly_Sirius]

Why would you want or need a car in the Netherlands?? Or in most of Europe?

[LOF-ile]

In your opinion, is a 4100 gross monthly pay a good amount for a couple??? Question for an expt moving from south africa.

[unmye]

wondering if people is noisy there, like loud music on apartments until late hours ?

[rpoyfiw]

As a single person with no expat ruling its very expensive even with a reasonable salary

[niksnico]

Thank you for this, this video should have so much many views… I am in argentina making around 3500 usd/month thinking of moving to Netherlands but here my mortage is only 500 usd, all other expeses are pretty much the same, only meat is much more cheaper here. Beef eye is 10usd/kg… Not sure what the right move is

[CreativeCoding]

Are you joking 2500e very cheap. In London it s just the rent 2500. And the wage is less
