Cost of living
The cost of living in the Netherlands has reportedly risen steadily in recent years, especially since the adoption of the Euro in 2002. However in comparison with many other European countries it still offers a relatively cheap cost of living. Property prices can be rather high due to the high population density however everyday expenses do tend to be a lot cheaper.
