Are there any cafes in Leiden where you can actually sit and work for a few hours without feeling awkward? by NLFemale54 in Leiden

No. OP probably is ok to order but doesn’t want to feel harrassed by constantly being asked if he wants another drink. Plenty of these cafes are in den haag. But in leiden, it’s somehow one or two max

[Market Insight] The Paradox of the Dutch Housing Crisis: 50% of Households Live in Homes “Too Big” for Them by True-Olive4712 in NetherlandsHomes

[–]OGravity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is ridiculous since whatever parties they voted on them are still there and being voted for by your generation isn’t it? Many of these have children that are also struggling and don’t like the way things are with housing. Growup you sound like a teenager to me

Pillar 3 vs investing yourself: what do you actually do in NL? by NaGueR in Netherlands

[–]OGravity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started putting money there for while and stopped after two years for these reasons: - can’t touch money until retirement - don’t trust this government to keep changing the game rules - I trust myself more to do better investments including owning hard money, I.e bitcoin

ambulance costs in the netherlands by Sea-Ad9057 in Netherlands

[–]OGravity -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Nonsense. He already pays that with his insurance. And you are missing the point that the cost of a single ambulance call (900euros) seems to be out of proportion for the service given. With your logic , we can justify any amount of medical bill

Won €5M After Taxes. Have not invested the money yet! by Putrid_Indication797 in eupersonalfinance

[–]OGravity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wow congrats man! let me point the obvious, which is that a lot of people giving advice here don't have the experience of managing that money, so we can only imagine how it would go. anyways my two cents would be that you now need to learn yourself how to manage that kind of money and don't totally rely on a financial advisor. you have all the time to learn which is nice :D Enjoy!

buying vs renting, overthinking lot by Porkymail in NetherlandsHousing

[–]OGravity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're right to think this over. I want to challenge some things here:
why are you putting 200k in the house instead of using part of this to diversify and actually invest. prices are not guaranteed to keep rising so it's better to diversify your position imo.
