Re: Opinions on kela and tax changes?
Providing a reasonable and sufficient social welfare system for the unfortunate and poor residents, is also a requirement from the EU that Finland violates and is only able to dodge that bullet by arguing that there is basic income support. There is no such EU requirement, and not all EU countries ...

Re: Opinions on kela and tax changes?
What do people think of the changes that are already underway and planned? Will they be reverted when the current government is pushed out?

Re: Buying used car
The thing is that when you buy it from your friend, there is no warranty (well legally there should be but in practical this is difficult / complex). When you buy it from the dealer and it is a Toyota approved occasion, you have anyway 1 year warranty which can be extended until the car is 10 years ...

Re: Housing benefits abolishment discourages working.
Income support (toimentulotuki) has a houses as protected assets that do not need to be sold. Thanks betelgeuse for the info, I was aware of that but the inability to pay the "vastike" will cause me to be forced to sell and move to housing that has right to asumistuki. You seem to be alre...

At age 5 children are learning foreign languages like a sponge, a year in kindergarten and they are fluent like a native. You think all my 4 kids are 5?? This shows how intelligent you are, you make an assumption and on the basis of that assumption you reply... Assumptions are the mother of all f**...

Re: Your biggest struggles after moving to Finland?

Re: Housing benefits abolishment discourages working.
It seems that Mr Orpo did not do his math when he made his plans because his plan will mean I will get 700€ of housing benefits less in September 2024 AND it will be impossible for me to sell and get a single room apartment with 4 children (no money for more) and still need to pay the mortgage. You...
