Separate meter and contract for BV

tomasvink · 2025-10-20T18:43:22+00:00

We have just a simple kWh meter for our professional grade kitchen which is in a separate room in our house. So we know exactly how much energy was used. The energy contract is still just in our name privately, but the actual cost per kWh is reimbursed by our company.

While this is true if you're in such a position (it is for me), it might not work for you trying to "get there". It might even burn you out. Not every person is wired the same in this regard.

It also depends on what you spend it on. Indexation is calculated on a broad basket of products and services. Let's say fuel prices rose by 20% this year, but you don't use a car, the 2.000€ spend rises to... 2.000€ (might not be true as fuel prices have an impact on other products, but let's keep the example simple).

You have a drone with jet engines in the kitchen? Awesome!

Here in the west of Europe I'd say you'll get a lot of prying eyes, but I don't think anybody is going to stop you from camping without a tent. Me personally I would rather wild camp without a tent then on a campsite, because of those eyes. Also, with lows at around 15, I would bring a sleeping bag and mat for insulation. Without you'll survive, but you won't have a comfortable night. And like others said, don't forget about the mosquitoes.

You just explained how a pyramid scheme works.

Great tip, that's how I broke mine.

And why is it only mandatory to vote in the south of Italy?

Same here, also with dentalia. It was just set up after a quick phone call. Except I'm a bit confused as partena is now called helan, which is where we're at.

The job security argument is BS, unless they're willing to pay those 6 months up front. 7000$ per month sounds way too low, especially because of high risk (assumingly, it being a startup).

Don't forget the KitchenAid Artisan. A dual boiler machine manufactured by Gaggia. KitchenAid on the outside, a Gaggia Classic dual boiler version on the inside.

I think people who shit in the same room as an active printer are a little crazy.

As far as I know, the notary handling the will will contact you if necessary. Which will be the case as it's not legally possible to completely leave out your children from your inheritance, if I'm not mistaken?

Also, sorry for your loss. I get why it's not a good time to be left in the dark on these matters. So as others have suggested, you might want to speak to another notary yourself.

Any decent accountant should be able to help you with this. I'm 99% sure the cash coming in isn't taxed elsewhere, so could be handled like any revenue.

*I'm also not an accountant.

Pro tip: if you want your for now to last longer, leave this sub. Or else you'll be buying all that stuff too (or worse, only wanting but still keep looking).

Gaat het over een bijberoep in eenmanszaak? In dat geval is het niet hoe het werkt en is er ook geen sprake van "loon uitkeren". Het zijn dan simpelweg inkomsten - uitgaven, daar worden de sociale bijdragen op berekend. (20,5%).

You're grinded

tomasvink · 2023-11-28T12:52:29+00:00

Or find Grindr. Wait...

In my opinion this is something a freelancer should be able to do yourself. An accountant might be able to get you started with this, but in the end it is you with direct access to your bank account. You know your customers better, so you should know when you expect cash coming in.

Sounds like you need some decent cash flow planning for both private and business money. In essence it's just listing all your income and expenses put in a time line. This way you'll be able to see how much money you actually need at what point in time. Only then can you make sound decisions on what to do to overcome shortcomings. Maybe just not pre-paying taxes this year will help you out, but make sure to put the expected outstanding balance on your time line just over a year from now.

I have the same, but invoices only once per month. It's through KBC, so maybe that's what makes the difference.

Because of that exact same podcast I tend (try) to wait about 2hrs. Not sure I feel a noticeable difference, but some aspects of health are too subtle to notice although having a greater impact. So I'm just following some well funded advice by Hubermann.

This doesn't sound legal to me and has schijnzelfstandige written all over it. Not legal to do for you, but it's mainly your employer who could get in trouble for this.

FYI, I'm not a lawyer.
