Qualcuno ha un fondo pensione europeo (PEEP)?

Come da titolo. Sto facendo ricerca sul fondo pensione, dato che è arrivato il momento per me di aprirne uno, ma ricevo molti suggerimenti contrastanti, per altro da consulenti stessi.

Vivo in Olanda, i benefit fiscali del fondo pensione sono alti quindi sicuramente vorrei aprirne uno. Vorrei capire se ha senso aprirne uno che, eventualmente, possa permettermi anche di spostarlo in italia, caso mai tornassi.

Sinceramente non programmo di tornare minimamente, ma la sicurezza che mi darebbe averne la possibilità non è da poco. Ma ne vale la pena?

Tip toe. Why nobody is speaking about it?

Just finished watching it. Absolutely baffled. I saw it recommended only once, on an instagram reel. The final scene made me crying like a kid…

Pension fund, investments or mortgage?

Hi everybody! I need a suggestion. I was looking for consultants or adviseur to ask about it but many people in another post suggested to ask here, might worth a try.
I have 1k i can set aside every month, and I’m trying to understand how to place them.

Some details: I’m 30, a zzp, I don’t have a retirement fund, I don’t plan to become employed very soon. I might earn more in the future, so I might get to 1.25k, but for the moment let’s keep it to 1k.

I spent the summer trying to understand stuff by myself, but I’m very undecided. Some friends of mine (consultants themselves) insist that I should invest everything, as they bring more interests, in addition to the fact that money on retirement plans can’t be accessed whenever I want. Others people point to the tax benefit I would get by putting the entire amount in the fund. They would indeed be high, something like 4k per year. But investing with a 30+ years of horizon is also huge, and I don’t even know if I will make use of such high amount of tax benefits (freshly born zzp).

I had a meeting with a consultant and by putting the 1k in the pension fund, he showed me some projections that would bring me to roughly a million by the age I will retire. It sounds appealing! I was almost convinced, but I then I forgot that I am 30 and I live with flatmates. It would be nice to have an house for myself at some point.

I can’t have a mortgage before two years (baby zzp) and even after that, I may be able to borrow only 200k, which is a bit low. This means I need to use some money extra, that I clearly need to save. I have my own savings, roughly 70k, and reaching 100k or little more would be ideal. For this reason, putting all the money in the retirement fund might not be the best idea, as I wouldn’t be able to use them for the house.

(The 70k are already invested in bonds (is that how you say?) but in a bank in my country of origin, which I’m tired of. I can’t move for two years more, so not much to do about them)

What should I do? 50/50 and taking out the investments as needed? 100 towards investments? Live with flatmates for the rest of my life? Please help a poor zzp

Are Dutch financially very educated?

Hey everybody, I’m diving into the investment / pension fund world for the first time as a ZZP from the art world, so I let you imagine my experience. On the top of that, I’m also italian (now living in NL for 4 years), which means being used to terrible financial habits.

Now, about my question: I struggle to find adviseur and consultants for investments. Cultural shock! In Italy it was almost impossible to do things by your own. I’m not defending the Italy way (you can see the results by yourselves) but I would really like to find someone I can trust and the effort is really making me think you all guys had plenty of school hours on this, otherwise it can’t be explained.

I dont trust my judgment with financial issues and I also don’t want to feel like I have the responsability of tracking everything and so on. In other words, I would like to be recommmended by someone, but it seems hard to find. Is it real? Or just an impression?

For example, I’m with ASN as bank and I was happy to look at their commitment to little-more-ethical practices, so I spent 20 minutes on their website looking for the contact of a financial adviseur, only to find our they don’t provide any.

I’m here for the reasoning but also appreciate any practical lead ahah

Suggestion for a financial consultant?

Ciao a tutti,

Sto cercando un consulente che possa aiutarmi a navigare nel mondo degli investimenti/fondi pensione nei Paesi Bassi, poiché ho poche informazioni a riguardo e sento che potrei essere truffato come un nonno. Ho già prenotato una consulenza dalla banca presso cui ho il conto (ASN), ma mi piacerebbe avere alcuni suggerimenti.

Vivo a Den Haag, ma non penso sia rilevante trovarne uno nella mia zona. Qualsiasi tipo di consiglio è benvenuto (sono tutti gli stessi, vogliono solo i tuoi soldi, non dovresti investire e nasconderti su una montagna, e così via)

EDIT: i'm a zzp, that's why I'm asking about pension fund

Do you rent through Rotterdam Urban Development? Check your contract

Hi! I am a tenant of this landlord, a company who manage many apartments across Den Haag, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and who knows more.

Just doing this because the guys are very sloppy and careless, which turned out to be in our favour for once, as me and my flatmate got a positive verdict from the Huurcommissie due to some contradictions in the contract.

They really look like they dont know what they are doing. They didnt even appealed to the ruling because they thought it wasnt “valid”. So yeah, we actually managed to lower our rent quite a lot, even despite being technically in the free market.
I bet we are not the only one with such defective contracts.

I always knew it was a wealthy company with more than one property, but just recently Ive learned they may have up to 100 apartments for rent, so I thought they deserve a little advertisement.

Aereo alle 5.45 (Marco Polo), cosa faccio la notte?

Ho fatto un piccolo errore di valutazione. Ho un aereo alle 5.45 dall'aeroporto, e davo per scontato l'aeroporto fosse aperto di notte. Non lo è.

Il mio piano era di arrivare la sera prima intorno alle 11 e prendere l'ultima navetta per l'aeroporto, per stare poi lì quelle tre/quattro ore a dormicchiare o guardare un paio di film. A sto punto non lo so, mi sembra un po' rischioso ma allo stesso tempo, chi mai dovrebbe essere attorno all'aeroporto a quell'ora? Sarà un po' scomodo ma stare fuori dall'aeroporto non dovrebbe essere come dormire alla stazione di Mestre.

Vale la pena di considerare un albergo se no?

Mortgage as a zzp not charging BTW

Hey everybody, I'm looking for any kind of advice or suggestions!

As a zzp'er I've considered myself lucky with my earnings so far: BTW isn't charged in my field, so my income is basically "net," and the necessary expenses are almost nothing (basically only transport). Some months I had 3k left over, even after personal expenses. This gave me a lot of room to invest in myself and my work, which i'd gladly done. Over the past two years I've travelled for new opportunities, joined groups, bought materials, and taken courses for my job. Things I enjoyed of course, and declared as business expenses.

Now I've started looking into mortgages (alone), and it turns out those expenses are now working against me. They've lowered my income quite a lot for calculation purposes. Also, not paying BTW doesn't help either, since my income is treated the same as if I did.

Personally, I feel a bit penalized: banks look at "gross" income for employees, but for me the "gross" almost equals the net, and on top of that they factor in these upgrading-expenses. Having known it beforehand, I could have simply not declared them. Don't get me wrong, I understand why the system works this way and it makes sense. I just think I have more resources available for a mortgage than banks are allowing me to borrow.

So my question is: is there any way to get my income considered more favorably, or should I just wait a few years for it to "clean up"? Or would a second loan alongside the mortgage be a better option?

PS. I've already had four/ five meetings with advisors, but they just run the numbers from my tax return and give me a figure. The most helpful one told me to wait three years and stop spending... thanks buddy

Mio padre non ha mai pagato gli alimenti, ora dovrò pagarli io a lui

Ciao a tutti,

in realtà credo il titolo sia già abbastanza esaustivo. Mio padre non ha mai pagato volontariamente una singola quota degli alimenti da quando ha divorziato (avevo sei anni, ora trentuno). È stato condannato pure a qualche mese di carcere, che chiaramente non ha mai fatto, e alla fine il tribunale ha disposto il pignoramento di una delle sue due pensioni. Sì, una delle due, e non parliamo di un operaio in difficoltà economica ma di un imprenditore conosciuto, con fatturati importanti che di certo non gli impedivano di mantenere me e mia sorella.

Ci sono tra l'altro diverse vicessitudini che hanno richiesto l'intervento di polizia e carabinieri, sebbene non si sia mai arrivati a situazioni così pesanti da rimuovere la patria potestà.

In ogni caso, questo ormai è un passato relativamente lontano. Saranno ormai dieci o quindici anni che non lo vedo e a malapena ho sue notizie. Eppure, negli ultimi tempi si è rifatto vivo in uno stato mentale piuttosto... particolare. È chiaro che non stia bene e considerato che ha più di 80 anni, non c'è da stupirsi.

Mia madre in questi giorni ci ha informato del fatto che se mai capitasse che la situazione precipiti e lui non possa più provvedere a se stesso o abbia bisogno di assistenza, noi dovremo essere obbligate a corrispondere. Che gioia

Macbook air 13'' M1 for 350€. Worth it or pass it?

Hi everyone, a friend is selling his 13'' MacBook Air M1 bought in 2023, 8GB RAM and a 256GB SSD, barely used. He’d sell it to me for €350, which is a good deal, I’m just hesitating because I’m struggling to work out whether it’s suitable for my needs or not.

I'm a musician and I produce music, even though i don't perform live much or at least I can rely on other resources at the moment. The thing is, I’d like to start using some visual software, which tends to be more demanding, and the heaviest of them all, Unity, which I’ve done a couple of courses on and would really like to get to grips with.

At the moment I’ve got an invincible mac pro from 2016 (!!) that can handle anything, but as you can imagine, I can’t update anything anymore or run many programmes, so I’ll be upgrading soon anyway. Let’s say the choice is between getting this mac air and upgrading in maybe 3 or 4 years’ time, or waiting a year at most and buying one in-store at full price (or a refurbed one anyway).

Any advice?

Mac air 13'' a 350€. Occasione o spreco?

Ciao a tutti, un amico vende il suo Macbook Air da 13'' comprato nel 2023, un M1 tecnicamente uscito nel 2020 credo ma comprato appunto più tardi. Memoria da 8GB, SSD 256GB, prezzo originale 1229€ a Unieuro. Me lo venderebbe a 350€ che è un bell'affare, sto tentennando solo perché faccio fatica a capire se sia adatto alle mie necessità o meno.

Uso Ableton, Max/msp e Reaper ma vorrei iniziare a usare qualche programma per i visual, che quindi sono più problematici. Per non parlare di Unity, su cui ho fatto un paio di corsi e che mi piacerebbe veramente utilizzare.

Attualmente ho un computer invicibile del 2016 (!!) che regge qualunque cosa, ma come immaginerete non posso più aggiornare niente né utilizzare molto programmi, quindi il cambio arriverà presto in ogni caso. Diciamo che la scelta è tra prendere questo a questo prezzo di favore e cambiarlo tra magari 3 o 4 anni oppure aspettare un anno al massimo e comprarne uno in negozio a prezzo pieno.

Rioolheffing eigenarendeel / Sewage tax to be paid by the owner?

Hi everybody,

Like many of you, in this period I received the Sewage tax (Rioolheffing) from our landlord. I'm renting an apartment with some flatmates, a regular contract and so on. The landlord is quite sketchy (I posted other stuff about it), so I started doubting everything he said, and yesterday I was checking some info online when I found this:

https://www.denhaag.nl/nl/belastingen/rioolheffing-eigenarendeel/

Now, does anyone know more? Because I can't find much information about it. It looks like the Municipality of Den Haag is different from others of the Netherlands, as that tax is to be paid by the tenants.

Am I misunderstanding something of the Dutch explanation? And in case it's actually right... anybody knows if it's possible to recover the previous taxes paid? Because in the last three years we paid it without questioning it.
