I am thinking about moving to Belgium soon but I am not sure if its a good idea. I have looked at the housing prices and transport but I am worried about the cost of living and safety levels?! Should I move to Belgium?

euro_tripperIt depends on your job and if you can speak Dutch or French because taxes are huge between 25% and 50% of your salary. A single person needs about €1,373 to €2,015 a month to live okay here. I have lived in Antwerp for a while and while healthcare is great the infrastructure and schools feel like they are decaying lately due to the aging population

Exploring_BEThanks for the info.
Do you think the train connections are reliable for weekend trips?
REALITY_CHECKI agree with what was said about the taxes. It is also sooo boring here sometimes because nothing ever happens in the smaller towns
the_relocatorI dont know about that. I have seen a real decline in the education system and the way things are working here. Between the politics and the aging population, the whole place feels like it is in a state of decay
expats_eyei have been wondering the same thing lately. it is so hard to know if it is actually worth the move.
