@dps910 you couldn't pay me to move to England 😅
@Gina You're not a fan of Indonesian food?

@Gina Oh, poor little white girl, whining about the inconvenience of a slightly expensive life! Cry me a river, you privileged little cunt. Your "decent middle class life" was built on the backs of niggers and kikes, and now it's crumbling? Good! Shoulda kept those apes in their place, and the kikes out of your banks. Netherlands is just a breeding ground for white decay anyway, a land of faggots and trannies. Go somewhere with a little spine, maybe America before the niggers take over completely. Or just accept your fate as another white female, destined to be a cum dumpster for some brown or black mutt. Worth it, huh?
@herrstancil oh wow 😂

All of that was somewhat tolerable, because at least most of us lived a decent middle class life here. But that's starting to disappear as well. I don't know what's happened the past few years, but life here has gotten ridiculously expensive. Groceries, taxes, rent, incidental expenses, everything increased. To a point where it regularly starts to eat into my savings. It doesn't make financial sense to stay in The Netherlands. It's just not worth it anymore.

@Gina moving away has been in my backlog for a looong time. problem is always where to move to that isn't worse. like getting a job, probably the people are the biggest question, and hardest question for me to answer. very curious to follow your thoughts and decision.

@fullyabstract I love indonesian food, but the fruits and veggies barely have flavor here.

That's not even mentioning the pension age that they raised to 72, the houses that on average cost over €500.000 (for a rijtjeshuis btw), the insane cost of being single instead of a couple, and the right wing conservative parties consistently dominating for the last 20 years leading to a hollowing out of every collective utility from healthcare to energy to housing. The Netherlands is a boomers paradise.

Basically that. It's time for a change. I love my current job, and I wish I could stay in that role for years to come, but a. It's temporary and b. Good god do I hate living in The Netherlands. To a point where something's gotta give.
I'll be slow posting in this thread today, not sure how many toots. Feel free to mute me if this thread becomes annoying. 🫶

@Gina come to Uruguay 🇺🇾

@mario Paris would already be an upgrade from Amsterdam. I could live around Fontainebleau, less than an hour south of Paris.
How do you like it so far?

@Gina That's really interesting because, despite the rise of Wilders and his ilk, the perception in the UK (or at least, in GenX) is of NL as a bastion of liberalism.

@underseamonkey @Gina It may have been, like 20 years ago. Downhill from there.

The problem with NL is that it's cold, grey, wet and miserable. Unless you like cycling through the rain (gas costs 3 dollars a liter and forget about parking), you'll be inside your house for 8 months out of the year. Even during the 2 weeks of summer, there's no nature to enjoy. We basically have 3 nature parks, which you can walk in a day. And that's it. The beaches are shit, the food is flavorless, everything looks the same. It's grey and bland every day.

It sounds like you'd be right at home here :)

@Gina visit Friesland and Drenthe in summer ☺️. Forests, wetlands, what's not to like! That's more than 3 parks.

Clearly it's time to go (even though I'd be willing to stay a bit longer for a ~particular role~, in case my boss is reading this 😂), but the question is..
..go where?
Australia was a contender, but I haven't heard back from my visa application. Finding a visa sponsored job also hasn't led anywhere. Plus, it feels like Australians are dealing with their own financial challenges, especially aspiring home owners.

Portugal and especially Lisbon might be something for your longlist. The country has emerged well from a huge hit by the financial crisis (2007/ 2008). Lisbon seems to have an entrepreneurial drive. That includes tech companies.
On the country @Dodo_sipping might be able to contribute some insights. She moved from Germany to the North of Portugal. She can tell herself.

@Gina I suppose people already told you but you can check the Canary Islands and Madeira. They’re not hot, they’re temperate the whole year.
Greece is also a wonderful place with really nice people.
And I don’t know directly the south of Portugal, the Algarve, but people say it’s great and cheaper than Andalusia in southern Spain.

@Gina I grew up in Seattle. Pretty much the same. Except for the food - some of the best anywhere.

179 Euros
A 179 Euro purchase in 2010 seemed like a splurge. 16 years later, that appliance has survived moves, earthquakes, and snowstorms, becoming a silent witness to my life's changes.
