I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.
I feel your pain mate, as a fellow retiree, I’d suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me, I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $30k in value stocks and digital assets, Up to 200k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes.
@@FlorentGulliver The crazy part is that those advisors are probably outperforming the market and raising good returns but some are charging fees over fees that drain your portfolio. Is this the case with yours too?
Thank you for the great video. I'm planning to move to the Netherlands on August, and I'm looking at Maastricht and Eindhoven. All your videos are very helpful. Dank je wel!
The €200.000,- apartment in Eindhoven actually has ground lease as well. You do not own the ground but have got to pay €273,- per month to lease the ground.
@@Homeloanmortgages this is super valuable! Thank you for letting me know. Honestly, it's crazy 🤪 so even when one paid off the mortgage, they will still continue paying €273 per month...
@@theselfishcodependent Correct but the Erfpacht will also increase over time. Best thing is to buy the ground as well. Or search for a better apartment ;)
Very good job, a very engaging video. Last time i was in holland was 2010. I think Amsterdam is beyond my budget now. Would you recommend Rotterdam as a possible alternative in terms of scenery et al?
Thank you for your kind words! Rotterdam is very different to Amsterdam in terms of scenery, architecture and the vibe. I would suggest looking into Utrecht, Leiden, Delft, Amersfoort. Perhaps, also consider nearby towns/villages like Duivendrecht or Haarlem.
Hey you. :) Yeah, it's insane, also in Amsterdam, there it's even worse. My monthly [disability] income is around 1200 euro, even renting a social housing house will give me problems and poverty. And then there is the problem with social housing that ... there hardy are any!!! Most of the social housing houses are sold for a lot of money to rich people and slumlords who buy the houses and rent them out for a LOT of money. so yeah .... huge housing problems all over.
If you look in the Funda's footer, there is a language option for English. It's difficult to balance the housing needs and good quality of like. Most countries bulldoze entire area to make ugly buildings, connected only by highways with little to no social life. Even it has its own problem, I'm happy the Netherlands didn't went this way.

Ohh, was it stated on Funda?
@@theselfishcodependent Yes, in Dutch it is called 'erfpacht'

How you manage to survive with 1200€ in Amsterdam? Hope you haven't to pay renting...
@@Prince_Dalinar sharing a house with my bestie/now partner
Crazy!!
And before my partner I had to pay rent, yes. The " foodbank" was my biggest friend otherwise I would have starved. @@Prince_Dalinar
If something appears on Funda, in many cases it has been sold already. Get a makelaar if you really want to fight for a property to buy.
I wanna be honest I was expecting something more like a documentary about the Dutch housing than a vlog.
I decided to keep it lighter this time. :)
