This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

If you are skilled labor, yes: https://www.expatica.com/nl/finance/taxes/the-dutch-30-ruling-explained-101641/
But what @abbadon420 said is equally true. Housing market's fucked beyond belief. Now, if you want to WFH and live out in the sticks, you'd be set.
Or you'll need to bring like 500k. No, that's not a joke.
For a small flat in an older building, surely not for a single house or even semi…
The average price of all sold houses, including the shitty apartments in the middle of nowhere, is 440k
You can drive though the Netherlands in 3h, for Americant’s that means there are no sticks.
It takes 1 hour to get from Germany in the east to Belgium in the west.
On a plane maybe
If I can get from Dortmund in Germany to Calais in France in 4,5 - 5 hours (including stopping to fill up), I sure as hell don't need 3 hours to go across the Netherlands.
I used to drive regularly to Antwerp from Dortmund in a truck and it took between 3,5 and 4 hours.
I see you edited your reply.
Germany in the east means: eastern side of the Netherlands, and Belgium in the west means: western side of the Netherlands. I also stated my start and end point for driving a truck, Dortmund and Antwerp. Again, go look at a map.
As you don't have the ability to look at, and understand a map, I must assume my educational level is higher than yours.
You are about as intelligent as a metre of hard shoulder on a highway.
I have no further interest to converse with an internet troll who is unable to discuss a subject without sinking into insults like a 13 year old in a playground shouting match.
Good day to you, and I hope your IQ level one day rises to match your shoesize.
So go look at a map. How far is it from Venlo to Eersel? It's about 65 km. Add a couple of kilometres to the border in each direction - let's make it a nice round number: 80 km all told.
How slow is your fucking car, you stupid fucking cockwomble.
BTW, the speed limit of 100 kph is only during the day. At night it is mostly 120 kph.
The Netherlands is less than half the size of my state. There is nowhere in the Netherlands that is more rural than where I live right now, lol.
Eh, there are a few spots that it certainly feels like it, especially the Frisian islands.
