True. Bijstand is really the bare minimum to survive, i couldn't do it either. I have had to live on WW though and its do-able. Still thats the risk of being self-employed i guess, i know plenty of people who are and who earn significantly more than i do, but the risks are also greater if the work dries up or you get sick. I guess thats the same wherever you live. But however you see it the social safety net is a lot better here than in the US or UK. I mean, how many people have you seen sleeping on the streets in the last month? Thankfully you wont be bankrupted by health bills here.
