Difficult question

Post new topic

cdw057

I have some know how (especially with regard to regards of taxes and mutual funds (even if some on the forum think I am stupid and just another expat))


I am still not at the age to be retiree, I have worked in Netherlands, UK, Luxembourg and Hungary. As per EU the last country where you worked for a last full year has to deal with pensions (I am Dutch and even if I love Hungary this is difficult).


I currently live in Mahmutlar/Alanya and I have a great life (even if inflation if hitting us (example bread (we arrived try 3.5 and per rumours 7.5 shortly)) is getting more expensive.

Minimum salary will be increased (again) which is fine, Turkish people need to live, but ....


The EUR/TRY did not change too much since last December, so for EUR people things are more difficult.

It is fine for now, but ..


I am considering to take a job in Lux for EUR 15 K  (per month) and use our property in Turkey as a holiday home.


Sad really, for Turkey better to have permant residence to spend money.
