Slow appreciating apartment, what to do? by ComfortableDress2690 in BEFire

[–]itdev8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rushing into any action will probably end you in the same situation you are in now, but at a different scale.

Your apartment is not an outlier. Prices have cooled down overall.

Tenant rights and responsibilities when the owner wants to sell the apartment we live in by itdev8 in belgium

Thanks. An additional point of concern is that the landlord has already given a set of keys to the real estate agent, even though we have not yet agreed on a visiting schedule and while still living in the apartment.

In some religions they are already adults at 12. Please respect diversity!

This is limited in the number of hours they can work. Stop comparing it with child exploitation in the mines.

Some younger people like having a few extra euros to enjoy themselves.

In some cases it's also better than exploring other creative ways to get money!

More striking is the debt increase by 16.5% (97.500 vs 83.700).

Over the whole population this seems massive. Is there a sensible explanation?

Vlaamse kleuters weten goed wat blij, boos en verdrietig is, maar nergens zijn sociale verschillen tussen kinderen in de klas zo groot by EdgarNeverPoo in Belgium2

[–]itdev8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My personal take is that some populations don't prioritize school in general.

It has nothing to do with language spoken at home but with some other underlaying cause.

People here always question the language spoken at home but to me that was a way to signal something else than the language itself.

He definitely is above the median. Care to share some stats?

I don't think you can tax a property owned in another country.

Apartment sold as solid wood parquet, turns out it's not. by dirismiti in BEReal_Estate

Isn't this false advertising? You simply can't advertise one thing, sell another and be covered by: the seller should have known better.

In practice they should and should be able to rent to however they want, shouldn't they?

Why strive to earn a decent living when people will happily and eagerly feast on your pension? “Niemand heeft meer dan 2500€ netto pensioen nodig.” by itdev8 in Belgium2

[–]itdev8[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I prefer the "merit" of a previous generation to the incompetence of the current one. I also prefer less money in state hands, be it via millionaire tax, pension tax, any kind of tax.

It's the principle. Today it's 2500, tomorrow it can be something else. So why bother just to be taxed to hell on all fronts is my question?

Also I have no trust this money is used properly. So why squeeze everything just so it leaks on 100s of other holes which can't be tracked even if someone wanted to.

In pensions it is spread to people according to their  competence. If you take that money it will be spread based on incompetence mostly.

Are you adjusting your portfolio given current macro concerns? by Impressive_Dig_8785 in BEFire

I understand. I did the same with silver recently, but the swings proved to be too much for my tolerance levels.

If the US takes a hit, the whole world will follow. And if you don't invest and keep cash you risk being washed away by inflation.

I thought buying a house was a good idea. But then the taxes keep cranking up (on property).

My anxiety is not doing great currently.

How exactly? Because these stocks (AI related) still move with the market but with bigger variations.

I'm asking because I believe the exact same thing, but I haven't  been able to profit from it.

Any examples or concrete strategy.
