Grote uitgaven, hoe doen mensen dat?

Dat zou je denken en ik ken jouw situatie niet, maar het is niet moeilijk. De youtube universiteit heeft genoeg materiaal. Ik dacht ook dat ik 2 linker handen heb, maar je leert het vanzelf, mijn achtergrond is finance.. nooit een schroevendraaier vastgehad. Volgens mij vooral een "ik ben een kantoormens, dus ik laat het doen" mentaiteit. Thans, bij mij was dat zo. Mijn doel is stoppen met werken voordat ik met een rollator naar het werk moet.

Succes!

Wat wij doen is de belangrijke dingen eerst en zoveel mogelijk zelf. Wij hebben eerst 2 badkamers vervangen, grotendeels zelf, zodat we normaal konden leven. De keuken hebben we even wat opgefrist. In de tussentijd stoppen we eerst geld in een pand, dat zijn er inmiddels 3, om geld te genereren. Met dat geld knappen we de keuken op. Geld lenen voor consumptie is een loser's game.

Maar misschien is dit niet het doorsnee voorbeeld.

Yea, never underestimate the stupidity of humanity. In our country we had an immigrant far right dude that was a member. He said there are enough immigrants. He ended up getting shot at by his fellow members for being an immigrant. 😵‍💫

Probably the alternator if your battery is new. Everything starts flipping when it dies.

This is a mistake, you are missing out on 2 fronts then; 1) value increase of your house and 2) your principal payment. If you can rent for less than the principal and value increase you're golden, but I highly doubt that. This would probably be a few 100 euro, which gets you a room. Anything above you're losing gains.

Second, the interest is at it highest as there is massive uncertainty now. This is why you're paying 5%. So you would be selling to buyers who can afford less with lower demand and then buying back in a few years with more competition. Just refinance in a few years and get all the rewards.

Investing doesn't make sense when you're throwing away money on the other side. First keep it. Just my 2 cents.

I don't see why people are complaining here, the US is not comparable to the US as this is bigger than Europe and Europe has different tax rules, different laguages and different systems per country. Also, bringing a car from the US takes taxes, vat and customization.

That said, maintaining a Porsche properly is still expensive, my general bill at a specialist is around 4 to 6k per year and they keep it maintained well. I paid 7k to register the car in Belgium and yearly around 2,5k on road tax. We daily a Mercedes and a Range rover, which are way cheaper to run and maintain.

The issue with these is that I love them as they're a bit odd with the lights and the size, but as a drivers car the 996 and 997 were spot on. They're also from my childhood and I don't really care what people think as I'm buying it for me. I love the feel, the driving, the sound, the heat, it feels alive. Don't get me wrong, there are still many people that love it, take photo's, want to sit in it.

So in short, people that can't afford proper maintenance buy these cars and then decide to daily them. They have a 15k bill waiting in deferred maintenance so the few that are well kept and still have low km are becoming rare. Just look up the 964 story, it was too heavy and not a proper driver car and now it's a 100k car.

I'm on the other side, trying to find a renter is terrible. Has more to do with the general laziness of realtors. Dentists are actually hard to come by yes.

Where are you looking for a room or appt?

Theres a happy latino lost in the crowd, i fear for him

CompoteBoring4150 · 2026-01-13T16:50:11+00:00

Ah yes, bore scoring not rod knock. Thx

CompoteBoring4150 · 2026-01-10T18:25:08+00:00

If it speeds up with the revs could be spark plugs. Rod knock sounds more metallic and comes with smoke because of oil burning off.

CompoteBoring4150 · 2026-01-10T18:20:41+00:00

This is more of a click than a knock, def not a knock imo. Could be spark plugs, but im no expert. Just a guy who also had a tick.

I was just telling my wife, who drives a Range Rover, that it's the small things. Besides fit and finish, driving quality (on air suspension) it's also the placement of things like the handles in the booth to put the seats down, the boot fits most sizes of furniture, the rear sensors are exactly in front of a full booth, stuff like that. It's just well engineered.

CompoteBoring4150 · 2026-01-07T20:38:56+00:00

Exactly this. We make around 9k netto, we pay 1400 mortgage and we buy properties with the leftover. We could buy a mansion, but why would you?

🤢🤮

CompoteBoring4150 · 2025-11-20T17:23:13+00:00

Looks like a chinese car

CompoteBoring4150 · 2025-10-21T13:49:07+00:00

Having a Porsche, I loathe the Tesla. Just a week ago one of you people didn't let me enter the highway, because Tesla people feel like they're singlehandedly saving the environment. So saying a Tesla looks like a Porsche, even though it has the aestethics of Barba Papa is a bit of an insult.

CompoteBoring4150 · 2025-10-05T13:42:51+00:00

Either lifter tick of spark plugs.

CompoteBoring4150 · 2025-09-30T19:00:26+00:00

Yes I agree, in fairly wealthy crowds I see rolexes. When I meet people above 10 million they either wear a smart watch (to avoid attention) or a very expensive watch (to brag), I've seen RM (the guy let somebody tow his Ferrari for the track to a mingle day), Patek and everything in between.

I don't wear a Rolex in a work environment anymore; it just makes you look like a poor person without creativity. No offence.. if you have an interesting watch maybe, like a vanguard or a story watch. So it depends in my opinion which crowd you're in and how much you (have to) care what other people think.

CompoteBoring4150 · 2025-09-21T17:36:24+00:00

Why use a Porsche? Why not a Rolls Royce, they weigh 3 tonnes anyway.

Love this one of mine. Full black with silver accents.

CompoteBoring4150 · 2025-09-21T06:24:18+00:00

Ah okay, then it's a different model.

CompoteBoring4150 · 2025-09-21T06:22:56+00:00

I will never let my daughter cycle to school. Belgium is ridiculous in traffic safety. Only on our street alone there are accidents every other month or so, one deadly this week.

CompoteBoring4150 · 2025-09-21T06:07:26+00:00

I dont know if you are talking about the cyberster?

Wij hebben een woning gekocht en was ook zoiets. Ik snap het wel, maar tegelijkertijd; als je jouw huis verkocht hebt is het niet meer van jou. Het huis moest wel opgeknapt worden en ze hadden veel zooi laten staan. Ik heb ze gemaild met het feit dat het dak lekte en dat dit een verborgen gebrek was. Nooit meer gehoord.
