Correct me if I am wrong, but I think a vast majority of that money went to building bicycle and traffic infrastructure. We did not put it in the savings like Norway did. We'll see soon how we will manage without that income - if they

I am fine with the thoroughness being applied. If they get it wrong the consequences may be much worse.

As a house owner in the NL, yes, it is comfortable to know that if I ever need to, I have room to increase my mortgage or sell my house at the considerable win. But then what? I still need to live somewhere, and the rest of the houses are a

Google the "daklozenloket" and the place name where you are. They should be able to help you. That is your priority number one, getting registered somewhere. The Netherlands has a good welfare system, make use of it. Then start lo

My experience in the Netherlands matches what you are saying. My Dutch is barely enough to hold a casual conversation with a colleague, and I do make a lot of mistakes. But people do keep up with me, and I had multiple job offers after doin

While it is of course possible to raise a lot of children in a tiny space, it is not something you necessarily want to do. Especially if no-one in your environment is doing it. It is not really a happy life if you have to spend your evening
