I'll give you a few examples of prices in Amsterdam and Eindhoven and a few tips how to save up. I am including the main categories of expenses for an expat's life, such as rent, utilities, groceries, health care insurance, taxes, sim card, public transport, driving license, bicycles in The Netherlands and many more so you can get a gist of the average expenses here in The Netherlands.

in the major citys you pay top dollar (euros) for rent. if you do have the option to work from home consider living in a small town in the provinces of gelderland, overijssel, drenthe, friesland and groningen. my rent for a family home with 2 bedrooms 1 bathroom and a good sized garden in the town called Eerbeek in the province of Gelderland costs me around 6 to 7 hundered euros a month.
yes just hundreds and not 1.2 k per month. there are a few shops and restaurants but if you want to go out to more active locations you can always use the publick transport systems witch are one of the worlds best and can take you any where in a mater of hours if not minutes depending on destination and point of departure.
Realistic overview. I do like the list on the end of this video.. This story applies to foreign students coming to the Netherlands. For non-students, or couples working here, the situation will be different. Kudos !
Thank you for watching and for your observation! :)

Thank you for watching! :)
Thanks for the very helpful video! I have just been offered a job as a professor at the VU Amsterdam. I will be moving on 1 November. Thankfully I already have temporary accommodation (arranged by the University), but goodness, it is a challenge to find suitable housing for my family! Your video is very helpful! Thank you!
Thank you for watching! It's so exciting that you are moving and congratulations on the job offer. 🎉 I used to study at VU Amsterdam - it's a good university. I'm sure you'll enjoy your experience there! :)
@@theselfishcodependent ah! Thank you so much! I am also grateful to hear about your positive experience as s student at thr VU!
You look so pretty in red
Your bit about health insurance was a bit confusing.
1) You have the basic insurance, which covers almost everything, including your visits to the GP.
2) Then you have the supplementary insurance, which is the most confusing bit, this part of your insurance you have to think of yourself every year, based on what you think you need. (how sick will I be this year… yes it’s weird) For example, 'maternity care' many single men don't need that. But more important and general, do I want to get reimbursed for everything at every hospital in the Netherlands. That's called "Restitutie". Or you can only go to a limited amount of hospitals local to you, Health insurers make deals with hospitals, that's called a "Natura" insurance. It's a bit like how fancy do I want my insurance to be. For young people almost everything is covered by the basic assurance. No need to buy a lot of extras.
3) The own-risk co. This is a fixed amount, which is only drawn on when you need to see a specialist or when you go to the ER or need to be scooped off the street in an ambulance. Once you have paid this amount of max 375 euros, nothing more comes after that, the rest is just paid from your insurance. For young people who are less likely to need to see a specialist it's a good idea of taking the highest own risk.
Thank you for your comment. When I was recording this part, I realized that I'd need to film a separate video about health insurance in the Netherlands. It's hard to explain the system in 15 seconds. The video is coming up in a couple of weeks. :)
I really like your channel! @@theselfishcodependent
@@frankwalders thank you! :)
Hi, i just discovered your chanel could you please give any tips on how to move to the netherlands all by yourself in 2024 as an adult with no job. No real plan and or friends there. How do I find a roommate? ... Any tips on how to start?
Thank you for watching the video! :) Hmm, it's a bold step and can be a bit frightening. Perhaps, it could help to feel more secure if you have a job lined up? I have a video with some tips on how to find a job in the Netherlands if you are interested: ruclips.net/video/H214d7P4xx8/видео.html
I live in the Netherlands for the past 6 months, and the country is very expensive in every aspect.The main issue for an expat is finding a room or place to rent, it's a disgusting daily marathon, and beware that dutch people will be the first option for the landlords, then the dutch white people speakers, then asian students with wealthy parents, and the list go on...
My lecture is that dutch society is elitist, and politics more, so they made a tuf economical sistem where poor pay the bills and stay poor... Im grateful anyway, but some things should improve.
The housing market in the Netherlands is definitely crazy! Have you seen my recent video about it? ruclips.net/video/nH71O6lqp7Y/видео.html
Luckily I pay 1068 for 50m2 in Amsterdam :D Otherwise Amsterdam is just not worth it.
Wow, this is a fantastic deal! I guess you got it long ago?
this woman is clueless everything she says is totally wrong. You can even find an appartment in amsterdam for 2000 it is even more. All the other cities also the same.
