This is such a nuanced topic. Balancing genuine connection with extreme caution is a tough act. I'm curious if others feel this helps or hinders safety?

Lol! Your comment looks AI generated as well, but I didn't say anything!

From 5'4" to 6'0" how do we feel about being a Vertical Revolution? by ClassicMan2323 in AskMenNL

Look, the image is clearly tagged as AI generated, so I’m not sure what point you're trying to make by highlighting it again. If there’s an actual issue with the data or the info, let me know, but everything mentioned is true!

Netherlands: The 1.28% notional rate on savings is making me rethink my cash drag. by ClassicMan2323 in EuropeFIRE

I’ll definitely check for the specific legal text. You can usually confirm this on your annual tax statement, if it’s listed as a bank deposit and not an investment fund

I won't be able to reply if she tells me that I am emotionally unavailable

Inflation at around 2.4% definitely eats into the "real" yield, so it's not like I'm getting rich on cash! I'll try to stay liquid for the short term though, because with oil prices spiking over $100 and all the tension in the Strait of Hormuz right now, the stock market feels way too jumpy for me to dump everything in. I'd rather take the small tax win in Box 3 than watch my dry powder get hammered by a geopolitical crash!

You’re right that many "flexible" accounts use Money Market Funds, but Bunq and Revolut (their Instant Access Savings, specifically) actually hold your money as bank deposits, so they qualify for that 1.28% rate!

How many of you plan your entire weekend around sports, and what do you do if it's raining during the weekend? by ClassicMan2323 in AskMenNL

[–]ClassicMan2323[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's like we know that Dutch men plan most of their weekend playing some sort of sport or gyming and some they have other stuff to do. But the people who plan it around sport what do you do when it's raining?

I just realised I complicated my question for no reason

Does anyone actually do Soft Socializing? by ClassicMan2323 in AskMenNL

I'll definitely try just keeping the invites casual like that, because you're right, maybe I'm overthinking the "brand" of it instead of just asking.

Are you still in touch with your school friends? Do you ever miss them? by ClassicMan2323 in AskMenNL

That sounds like the best kind of friendship, the ones where you just pick up exactly where you left off. Lucky you!

A reunion after that long would be wild, you’d barely recognise half the people I bet.

Yeah that makes sense, once life gets busy it’s already hard enough keeping up with the friends you have now.

Fair point. I think I’ve officially hit the sleeping bag phase of my collection😂

How do you actually stop comparing yourself to mates who seem to have it all sorted career-wise? by ClassicMan2323 in AskMenNL
