    Seems like really tough to survive for a family in Belgium considering the 50% tax and rent and other expenses. It feels like savings in India seems better

    • @manmohanpatil
      @manmohanpatil 2 года назад +1

      I recently moved to Portugal and realize same. It is true that we can save more in India.
      But basically we save for kids education, health and retirement. With social security in European countries all these are free. and because of that even if you save less in these countries, it makes sense.

      1. Mention the limit of transfering amount to Indian account.
      2. Can we send send money to any account? Coz, my frnd who worked in UAE, he can't send his money to account unless he registered their bank account.
      3. You mentioned about 2nd hand, then how about electronic gadgets?? If we wish to buy a new one before coming there, should we buy it there or here in India??

      1. I don't know about the limit but I know people who transfer around 2 lakhs Rs every month back to India.
      2. You can only send to NRE accounts.
      3. It is good to buy in Belgium because power rating is different from India

    Public transport and cycling facilities are garbage in Belgium. The only places there's any remote investing in these transport sectors is the city centre. You lose so much time using public transport that t's more cost effective to buy a secondhand car to move around so you can spend your time on actual activities instead of wasting time while waiting on a bus or tram. The bicycle lanes are mostly tiled and barely maintained versus paved, it's definately not "excellent". The bicycle lanes are exposed to heavy traffic, such as buses and trucks as well. If you want to be safe, take the car.

      It depends on the type of Bachelor's degree you have. Belgium makes a distinction between professional and academic Bachelors.
