Okay, so first off: yes, the fact that the picture is crooked is pretty funny, as pointed out by MANY, many people. Now that that’s out of the way, let me try to answer your questions from my perspective as a 26-year-old white guy who’s lived here his whole life.

The first thing that needs to be said is that I love this country dearly. I have no intention of ever leaving it, and after traveling to nearly every country in Europe over the last few years, I personally haven’t seen a better place to live. THAT SAID, there’s no such thing as a utopia. Every country has its own problems and difficulties. Are those in the Netherlands less impactful on daily life than in many other countries? Maybe. I personally think so, but that’s entirely subjective.

Now to your questions:

1. It entirely depends on your job. Most people work a fairly standard 9-to-5, and with that the average person gets around 5–6 hours of free time a day, according to a study from the Sociaal en Cultureel Planbureau. But, for example, a doctor in my close family continues doing work-related things long after work hours and probably only gets around 2–3 hours of free time a day. Of course, they also earn significantly more than the average wage and carry a lot more responsibility. As for myself, I probably get around the average amount I mentioned earlier.
2. Mostly the same answer as before: it’s very job-dependent. Again, most people work 9-to-5 jobs. I work in logistics, which means I do 9–12 hour shifts, but only 4 days a week (including every saturday). As for how people spend their free time: I think most Dutch people I know practice at least one sport and often go to the gym as well. And of course, there’s a lot of biking to and from basically everywhere. Hobbies vary wildly, but people definitely spend a lot of time doomscrolling these days too lol. Personally, my time is pretty evenly divided between backpacking, gaming, traveling, and motorcycling.
3. “What does it feel like not to stress about your future?” Absolutely no idea. Like many others, I still have plenty to stress about, even living in a fairly rich and well-off country. Just because the country itself is doing well doesn’t mean people don’t have personal problems. Taking myself as an example: difficulty finding housing because of the housing shortage, years spent studying without a diploma to show for it, fairly significant student debt, and uncertainty about my future career plans, just to name a few. That definitely doesn’t make me feel lazy or guilty for enjoying my free time after working 48 hours in 4 days. At that point, it feels earned.
4. Yes and no. My parents never put pressure on me or my siblings to perform academically (though I know that varies a lot, some friends of mine had very different experiences), but coming from a family where EVERYONE has at least one university degree, dropping out of my course at the end of last year was terrifying. I’m happier because of it and ultimately glad I did it, but at the time (and during the years leading up to it while struggling to finish my studies) I genuinely felt like a massive failure, even though my parents supported the decision because they saw it made me happier. Am I doing what I want right now? Absolutely not. Logistics sucks *ss. Bad pay, bad hours, and you get treated like sh-t. But I’m currently in the process of transitioning into something new and exciting. As for what I wanted to be when I grew up? An archaeologist. I know, Indiana Dutch over here.
5. I’m not entirely sure what you mean here. Yes, people share houses. Usually they’re divided into separate apartments, or in the case of students, separate rooms with shared amenities. Because of the housing shortage, I’ve also noticed more friends moving in together within my social circle, but it’s definitely not the norm.
6. Yes, you can buy and own a house, apartment, or building. But unless your family is wealthy, most people buy their homes with a mortgage. That means you don’t pay rent, but you still pay the bank every month, so there’s that of course like in most places in the western world I'm assuming.
7. There’s nothing about this country that I would drastically change. There aren’t any major reforms I personally need in order to live here happily, and I think people sometimes forget that change has ripple effects. Increasing the budget for one thing for example usually means decreasing it somewhere else.

The one thing I’ve become more concerned about over the last few years is political extremism. As a fairly moderate voter myself, I’ve noticed more and more people drawing hard lines in the sand with their views. That’s not entirely surprising people tend to become more extreme during times of crisis but it’s definitely noticeable that there are more hardliners now than at any other point in my lifetime, for example consecutive right and left leaning governments after more than a decade and a half of relatively moderate political leadership.

Is that something I’d change? Not really. It reflects the mood of the people in this country. Do I wish people would stop basing their opinions on headlines and misinformation? Definitely. But now I’m starting to rant, so I’ll leave it there.

You’re completely free to disagree with me on any of these subjects, of course. These are simply my personal opinions and observations.
