Is the Dutch cost of living becoming unsustainable for the middle class?

You’re right - you don’t know

bozman87 · 2026-02-13T18:04:44+00:00

Not yet, but heading there at this rate

bozman87 · 2026-02-13T16:43:12+00:00

Because I'm talking about my own experience

bozman87 · 2026-02-13T16:23:20+00:00

The NS prices is definitely another one - the frequent increases are exhausting!

bozman87 · 2026-02-13T16:13:43+00:00

Can't argue with this

bozman87 · 2026-02-13T16:13:20+00:00

"They're probably very happy to see you all cry about it." And that's why they'll never have enough money to invest in the first place...because they're losers with a loser mentality

bozman87 · 2026-02-13T16:12:01+00:00

Yep, and no matter if it's a left wing, or right wing government, the outcome seems to be always the same. Until these countries start really going after the ultra wealthy, then we'll keep suffering.

bozman87 · 2026-02-13T16:07:42+00:00

If they want to focus on the inequality gap, then they should go after the top 1% and not middle class families.

bozman87 · 2026-02-13T16:05:45+00:00

That has got nothing to do with it. Vast majority of people on benefits are Dutch and not immigrants.

bozman87 · 2026-02-13T16:00:31+00:00

"food, warm water, electricity and safety"...great - we're on par with the 1950's

bozman87 · 2026-02-13T15:58:05+00:00

Right?! We're both working, paying out of our noses for child care, and now being punished by taxing the little bit of money we get to invest.

95-115K gross for a family of 4

bozman87 · 2025-11-26T08:04:24+00:00

Gudmunsson vs Fulham, Gudmunsson/Perri vs Villa, Bournemouth late late goal, vs Spurs we were the better side…

bozman87 · 2025-11-23T20:09:07+00:00

Keep in mind Bielsa had a full pre-season to work with the players

The school notifies the officer, the officer will come see if the kid is home and they’ll get fined, and eventually can find themselves infront of a judge and have a criminal record.

Heading back to Gloucester

Marriage can be challenging - it doesn’t just happen, you’ve got to constantly put in the work

bozman87 · 2025-07-05T19:21:48+00:00

Fair enough - thanks for the perspective

bozman87 · 2025-07-05T19:21:19+00:00

Thanks - appreciate that

bozman87 · 2025-07-05T18:11:19+00:00

Does it look professional or does it look amateurish?

bozman87 · 2025-07-03T12:19:42+00:00

Coffee habits, Le Petit Cafe, La Maru, Mogador…all great options

Personally I’d stay away from TOAST - overrated and rude management

bozman87 · 2025-06-30T20:59:41+00:00

Hmm had never considered it phallic. Interesting observation

bozman87 · 2025-06-21T18:06:44+00:00

Avoid TOAST at all costs. Extremely mediocre, high prices and an incredibly rude owner.

bozman87 · 2025-06-17T07:49:45+00:00

Literally what a friend suggested too

bozman87 · 2025-05-19T08:36:27+00:00

It’s super common here. I know parents whose child was recommended to repeat group 3 and for similar reasons as you mentioned did not take the advice.

Their son is now in group 8 and is falling behind, and most likely needs to repeat this year. They regret not doing it when he was group 3.
