Thank you.

Early Retirement Plan as an Expat in Amsterdam

The idea:Once you have a permanent contract, getting a mortgage is pretty easy and renting is significantly higher than the mortgage payments. So, a person can get an apartment, rent it out, and let it pay for itself, while still having money to spare.So, my question is: what's the catch? It seems easy, but yet I don't see everyone doing it! Am I missing something?A few details about me:-...

So, what would you recommend to improve the situation?
As written in the text, once you "get" a "white-collar" job, you'll see that there is not much difference between the two.

We're in the same hell.

Thank you once again. I'll allocate a budget and give it a try.

Also, I'm really grateful that you went through the whole thing, I understand it's pretty long, so it means a lot to me.

Highly appreciated.

I understand that it's a big piece to go into all the details, but I also covered getting professional help. I'll paste the paragraph below:

"Ended up going for half a year and it was concluded that I’m beyond help (I can’t help myself). Waste of money and wouldn’t recommend if your problem is not related to self-esteem or childhood trauma. If you know a person that could understand or give me valuable input, please let me know."

Do you think I should give it one more chance? I feel like at a certain level I have realistic concerns, but I also understand that I may be cynical because of the condition...

Thank you
