EUR 150 in NL? That's cheap!

Here in Germany, I pay EUR 800 with no guarantee of getting service 🥲,@retoor 

Yup, half is paid by employer and the other is taken from our salary.

I wouldn't mind if we get excellent healthcare services, but dear God we have to wait 3 months to see a specialist, and the doctor only have 7 minutes per patient (regulated by insurance),@retoor 

The insurance cost is a percentage of our salary (14% where 7% is taken from our paycheck) with a maximum of EUR 470(I am already in the maximum)

Haha Germany is only cheap if you have below average income, but for high paid professionals, we're getting ripped off 🥲

Especially someone with no kids like me, they just increased one of the social insurances this year, my January take home pay is less than last year. 😢,Early retirement.

Then spend the day gardening and taking care of cats.

Only take part time and full remote work,My current project.
