The claims and ratings are waaay off !
First things first, crime is getting out of hand in the big cities but the last few years also in smaller cities.
Salaries are not getting bigger but everything gotten more expensive the last few years especially electricity which spiked from a monthly 180€ to a whopping 560€ for the same volume.
Taxes are insane and probably the highest in the world !!!
A single person now pays up to 71% tax and double taxation is still a thing in Belgium.
Wages are seriously underpaid in Belgium.
to give you an example im an engineer in hydraulics, mechanics, electronics…
in Belgium my monthly salary is capped at 2.500€ before taxation, no option for bonuses or extra leave or raise.
in Colombia im getting paid calculated in euros monthly 5.600€ for the same job !!!! before taxes ( capped at 20% )
im getting a 9% bonus for my experience and have 3 months leave per year (paid) not counting the legal holidays
