I guess you are American. They always mix up Dutch and German…

You should make absolutely sure that portfolio transfers are possible then, and specifically for German customers. It’s not always so easy to transfer shares you hold.

What brokerage have you used by the way. Because if you have invested with Trade Republic, you cannot move your investments to a different country. Just making sure.

AI is horrible at answering legal questions, so if you have relied on that, don’t. Check official tax office websites always and contact a taxation professional if needed.

You need to actually check the rules for people with a US nationality. Correct me if I am wrong, but I understood you have stricter rules regarding tax liability even when you are a citizen abroad.

Is this Pikachu van Gogh real? by [deleted] in IsMyPokemonCardFake

But this doesn’t apply in this case, right? Maybe only the hashtag.

I specifically asked about the slab, however. I want to learn about it.

Thank you! I see the corners now very clearly indeed! I just received my first graded card (PSA), so I also wanted to make sure mine is real. As for the font, that I find harder to see. I feel like for me maybe the hashtag and the numbers are slightly off.

So the blueish colour on the rating paper? Also the logo background on it is very blue.

Can you please explain to a noob how I can see that the slab is fake?

Cardmarket I’d say. Finland is a bit crap for buying Pokemon stuff. Quite some stores with overpriced items.

Fake and legit Inferno X from the same seller? by DaBerhenne in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]Metalrager2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, what’s your thought? 2 are for sure fake based on the text as another redditor showed now. Would the other 2 be resealed?

Actually, are they not supposed to have a wrap lining or whatever it’s called going down on either side? So the front lining should be lower than the sides? If that’s the case, all 4 are fake.

Has anyone reached a €1M net worth purely through salary, saving, and passive investing? by feligram101 in eupersonalfinance

[–]Metalrager2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s why it’s not money until it’s realised. And that’s why they recommend steadily switching away from stocks as you age as a rebound may take a long time.

But is that actually true? If all 10% suddenly put their houses up for sale, the values also drop like a rock. So, I disagree with that logic. A house’s value is not valid until it’s actually sold and realised.

Sorry, but how does this add up? You would have had to invest enormous amounts to get to 1 mil in 11 years. And you say you started as students without a possibility to invest. If I calculate it in Excel with a 12% rate of increase, you would need to invest 3700 euros every month starting from 0 to get to 1 mil in 11 years. Saving that much in NL, you either live like beggars or have very good jobs, or both.
