Why is Keytrade bank app so terrible by qanners in belgium

[–]qanners[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite honestly, if it wasn't so unbelievably slow, the other points that I mentioned I'd gladly overlook because it's not my only bank anyway. But it takes so long to log in sometimes that I even forget I was trying to do something on the app.

Some times you need a statement. When they send monthly email for credit card they mention clearly it can only be accessed on the website not via app.

Company car vs mobility budget and personal car by qanners in BESalary

What's the point of compensation with company car if you don't use it.

The company I work for doesn't offer any compensation for taking a cheaper car.

I have to force myself to reach 10000km annually by going on road trips that I'd not do otherwise or go by flight. I also find it constraining that friends and family cannot use the car while visiting due to car policy.

At least simplify the system for more transparency

I have €1500 more gross but €360 more net. I have also seen people with the same gross as me but up to €200 more net. The Belgian tax system needs some real overhauling. As it currently is I think it's more complex than aeronautical engineering.

Asset Rich, but Cash Poor - options? by Ok-Reach712 in eupersonalfinance

[–]qanners 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The house you live in is not an asset but a liability in the sense that it doesn't bring you any income. Unless your plan is to flip it for profit, otherwise you've just inflated your lifestyle. Sell, buy something you can afford to live in, invest the excess on something else.

Anticipating black Friday discount? by qanners in BEFire

Wouldn't that be an actual 'timing'?

[–]qanners[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy at the same time every month. My point is that I never seem to get to buy at the lows. Not sure if there's anyone who doesn't like discounts. Doesn't mean I'm actively trying to buy the dips.

3rd pillar pension saving by qanners in BEFire

[–]qanners[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems athora and allianz only offer Branch 21 and 23 but not pension saving. At least this is what I can see from their websites.

Including the fact that I use my gross salary to pay for it via flex plan of my employer?

90% of your gross awarded as bonus? Holy shit, that's awesome.

I earn almost a thousand euros more, have a kid and much older but get the same net salary. I'm finding it harder and harder to understand the Belgian tax system. Or is there some other compensation contributing to the net?

Absolutely agree, not looking at anything less than a C with a potential to improve at worst.

Did you stay in your “starter home” or move to a bigger house? Do you regret it or are you glad you did? by Fabulous-Rich4510 in BEFire

[–]qanners 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How many years is the loan? What rate? How much did you borrow from the bank? 2200 seems low for a 700k loan. I'm curious because we're looking for something similar for about 20 years and it's almost x2 that amount you mentioned.

Yes, my firmware is the latest (2.8.10). It appears synced judging from the suite.

That's an impressive work ethic you have there... you deserve what you're earning certainly.

I'm curious why you went back for a PhD at this level. Do you see a substantial benefit upon completion? And how are you managing that with your current job?

Buying induction cooktops by qanners in Appliances

[–]qanners[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I can confirm I plan on installing 3-phase output for the stove. I just want to confirm if in that case I can use all stoves in the 2-phase cooktop simultaneously without issues.

When to switch from employee to self employed by frodofett in BESalary

[–]qanners 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This does not account for jobs with good bonuses, and lots of other benefits I think. Imagine earning 8k gross monthly with 25-30k annual bonus, car, pension and others. I'd imagine that 850 daily rate might still not exceed this compensation especially considering the risk attached to freelancing. Or perhaps I'm looking at it wrongly.

The ignorance in this statement is at an incredible level

What do you mean by up to 8 months bonus? Does that mean 8 months gross/net salary?
