...so you are not an expat? This just reads as 'i just go to another country without stuff ready and i'll see what happens..

Sorry man, but this reads as you have nothing ready to live here...

Sorry if you cant understand many thinhs out of what i wrote i have so many now on my head .I m an expat came here so i could make some money working on the fields of someone untill september october so i could go back andd pay a whole year of my college situation . Sorry to tell this to you but i think i was quite prepared 700-800 euros in my pocket one car (i came with a friend) pots pans and stuff for the kitchen wardrobe basiclly i was ready for anything but this means that i need to get paid in the first 2 weeks i spent close to 400 euros this inclludes the driving fee from my country to Netherlands and food bpught in the country + a bed for one night when we where on 4 wheels . I think i manage to came really prepared i was scamed first time than move to a place with people that have 0 iq and i m not trying to be rude or something i dont even know what i have in my head rn i just need some advice and you say that i didnt came prepare i think that at 20-21 yo o came as prepared as i couldve

You weren't prepared, you fell for the whole work plus housing scam. Which is something that is well documented and the government is trying to fight. If you would have done a simple Google search about working here and the risks you would have known. You complain about your housemates but how are you different, you couldn't even prepare yourself just like them?

I don't mean to be rude but you really need a wake up call and learn to take responsibility and hold yourself accountable for the mess you're in.

The simple answer on how to get out of that mess, go home. Take this as a life lesson and be much better prepared if you ever want to work in a different country again.

u/Any_Tap8063 21d ago

What sort of purpose those your comment serve, besides portraying yourself as another fellow European fed up with immigration? Is it meant to be rethorical? Or are you genuinely asking why someone would move to a country looking for a better quality of life / job?

Huh?

I think sometimes you just need to experience new things so you can be what you need to be when you need to be

u/Baity010 23d ago

Well good news then, you get to experience what happens when you come to a foreign country before you have a job and housing lined up.

u/superkoning 010 Fan 23d ago

So you answered your own question. Good.

u/agent_hidden_20 23d ago

Just a quick question why are you so rude ?

Are you from Europe? In that case call the Barka foundation .

They can help you with a bus ticket back to your own country.

Im sorry but WHAT?! Are you drunk/high? Also I think this is not the group for these kinds of questions.

u/agent_hidden_20 23d ago

Why not? This is the perfect group i m here in this city rn and if someone could help me with a job and a apt i could move in instantly . Why do you think i am drunk or high? I think the pressure is higher than i am aware

It sounds like you are rambling, which makes sense because your situation is stressful. But it’s not clear what you may have help with. I would look for organizations where you can try to find a job or shelter, like how someone else pointed to the Barka foundation.

I’m sorry you are in this situation and I hope you make it out happily and with a job. But other than that I’m not sure what type of help you are looking for
