    Price of beer: A pint of European lager can cost as low as €0,80 (including statiegeld) at an ALDI. Compare that to €10 some premium cafe's dare to ask for the same amount of beer!

    That's correct. Mass produced lager usually doesn't cost anything. Especially if you buy in bulk like boxes or crates. Craft beer on the other hand is quite expensive, starting at €4 per small can even at the store, and getting to €10 mark at the craft bars.

    Well done. We would spend about the same. On the long run, you will have to include clothing, shoes, furniture etc. It might be cheaper not to have dental insurance and pay this out of the pocket if your teeth are not too bad. Living in a major city, you have access to quite frequent public transport. Living in more regional areas, you will spend less on rent but you will likely need a car. Finding housing is essential before moving to NL. Best investment if you remain in the Netherlands: Buy a house.

    Enschede is much cheaper than The Hague, but I wouldn't expect it goes less than €800-1000. It's hard to find anything less than that anywhere in the Hague, unless it's the room. You can check yourself some options on funda.nl. Just pick Enschede as the city.

    Hello Sir 👋 My name is Ogechukwu, I'm 32 years old and I'm from Delta State, Nigeria. I came across your KZread page and I have a problem. I graduated with HND in Civil Engineering from a Nigerian Polytechnic and I really want to know If I stand a chance of securing admission in one of the Universities in the Netherlands. I'm really worried and I do not know what to do or how to go about it, I just want to know my fate and where I stand with my HND certificate. I have been running around KZread to find a solution but yet to solution until I came across your page and then decided to reach out to you, I'll patiently waiting for your response, thank you very much.

    This is an entry salary for any career. It usually salary of the people who just graduated. They usually rent shared rooms and work on increasing their salary. €1800 is, to be honest, ridiculously low salary for Holland, even for students. It depends on the area but I think average salary is around €2800.

    It seems like some of those job agency take advantage from the fact that you're an expat. Why not just find the job yourself and use all your experience to land the same level position as you worked before? Unless of course, the skills are not transferable to another country.

    I live very comfortably with way less. It always depends on specific person. There are people who earn millions and stay in debt. If someone is earning 100k and has issues with money, I'd recommend getting into personal finance.
