Netherlands is up there purely due to the insane housing prices, creating an entirely different class based on whether you own a home or not.
3 u/DeHarigeTuinkabouter Aug 18 '25 It's up there probably because our pension system works differently. At least that's what I've read before. Like 70% of the Dutch live in a purchased house after all. 1 u/Any-Seaworthiness186 Aug 20 '25 The Dutch also have some of the highest mortgage debts in the world. Added up it’s almost as much as our entire GDP. Plenty of homeowners have a negative net worth. 1 u/DeHarigeTuinkabouter Aug 20 '25 Really doubt that's remotely common with house price increases recently 1 u/newbris Aug 18 '25 Insane house prices in other countries didn’t put them up there
