I'm confused with the statement, "e last 4 years I'm working full time for company A and was winning good money and able to pay myself a salary of 1500€/month and having a car/phone/... on the company." I understand english isn't your first language, but just want to clarify the phrase "able to pay myself" a salary. I'm assuming that was a slip-up and you weren't a partner in company A..you were just an employee. I'd bail out the entire situation. I know different parts of europe have different standard of living with regards to the Euro, but I don't know how most folks in the euro can survive on 500Euro/mos...especially with girlfriend and a kid on the way. My advice is go back to freelancing. I have a very good salary as a developer in the midwest and do some freelancing on the side. The way I look at it, I have to be able to afford to lose a couple clients and keep on chugging before I strike out on my own.
