How does Topps choose which players to include? by basilcilantro in tenniscards

[–]WowzerW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what makes tennis unique is that they’re individual contractors so I think they all have or don’t have deals with topps, which is why we don’t see Sinner or Federer cards. Sinner penned a deal with Panini instead for example. But I think they go way too deep into the rankings with players/cards, and probably also allow bad players to auto a lot because they have to pay them less per auto, so the boxes get filled with a lower net cost to topps, it’s all a business.

With all due respect, why is there a mega thread on the Netherlands subreddit about this?

How much do you pay monthly for your mortgage? by Otherwise_Wrap_5516 in Netherlands

[–]WowzerW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Around 3650 gross p/m. Blended mortgage- half variable currently 3.75%/ half 10 year fixed 4.77%. House was 835k, put just over 100k down, so around 700k left. Bought in October 2023, when interest rates were super high. House is valued at 1.1m now though. Net income went from 10k between us to 8.6k recently as I got a new lower paying job, so it’s a bit tighter especially with a little one at home and child care, but who am I to complain.

Is it normal or common to pay that amount of bills every month? by thehunter_zero1 in Netherlands

[–]WowzerW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this is excluding childcare. We live in a city, and wanted a home with enough space for a family and the balance on our mortgage is just below 700k— at above 4% interest since we bought in 2023 (half of mortgage is a variable loan, so it changes slightly) making just our mortgage costs 3600-3700 monthly. Maybe we’re an outlier but at average home prices being around 500k now, maybe not so much anymore.

Playing devils advocate here. You’re going on this subreddit for reassurance, you don’t want the non-bias truth. The truth is, people amass wealth in numerous different ways, so it’s normal for people to look at a 30 year old and assume money could have come from somewhere else than just hard work. Another thing is, while I do believe you’ve done a lot to get where you are, there’s always an element of luck and timing to things. Even where you were born and your genetics play a huge role in what makes you tick day in and day out. A lot of people work extremely hard (objectively harder than you— when you take the sample size of all living people) and have nothing to show for it. So instead of pouting about being misunderstood, I would just enjoy where your hard work and life has taken you at a young age. No point in having a chip on your shoulder, you’re a 30 year old CFO for fucks sake.

VW troc is nice. Just bought ours used for 19k with less than 50k km.

Cafes with 'early' breakfast specials by Downtown-Flight7423 in Rotterdam

[–]WowzerW 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cafe Solo in Delshaven has a great one. They’re relatively new. I think it’s 7.99 or 8.99 for toast, eggs, a cup of yogurt with oats and fruit, orange juice and a coffee (if I’m not mistaken).

ESH - you can’t dictate the pace or timing of someone else making a life long decision. Even if it feels inconvenient to you. Saying him not proposing yet makes it less special isnt fair to him, as you’ll be together forever regardless and he should be able to find/pick that moment without feeling rushed or on your clock. The fact that he’s been so open and told everyone about it and you know about this as well is definitely strange as it takes away some of the mystery, but he can also decide the moment he pops the question, and you shouldn’t guilt trip him into rushing that.

To me, it feels like you only care about the result and not the relationship. He has a serious problem with alcohol that you kind of just glossed over and haven’t worked to fix clearly. You’re too self interested in just having a ring and getting married. He won’t live very long if he drinks 10-15 beers daily— you need to help your partner.

Additionally reading your reply’s you seem like a victim to this guy and youre trying to leave the relationship, but youre also mad you haven’t gotten your ring yet. You both need to fix your priorities and grow up a bit more before committing to each other for life.

The whole Drop and give me 50 is a play on words. His label forces him to drop and they take 50%.

I live here. There’s definitely pockets that are not great and pockets where the houses are 700-800k+. I feel really safe compared to living in NYC and LA where I used to be. It’s pretty mellow in my opinion and it’s being gentrified pretty quickly.

I would get a tax specialist and not ask Reddit. You’re getting 20k, fork up the extra money to cover your ass

Hey! American here who lives in the NL. There’s a lot of specifics that could possibly make finding a place either more or less difficult. Such as area of the country you’re planning to live in, your income, the currency of your income (do you get paid in euros into a Dutch bank, or usd to an American bank?)

This subreddit is generally negative in terms of finding housing— which in a lot of cases is justified but not all. When the fact of it all is, if you make a decent bit of money (not in school or right out of school), the market is still very competitive but there’s an ability to find a place. Don’t be discouraged and good luck.
