I am considering moving to Antwerp with my family, would be great if anyone of you can provide some answers.
1. What should be a good take home salary for a family of 3
I have a non-working wife and 3 year old son. I would spend money on a decent(close to main market/area) 2 bedroom flat + internet + electricity + water. Eating out once a week and buying basic family grocery.
2. How expensive is the transportation?
3. How about daycare for children, is it very expensive? I wish to admit my child in english speaking daycare/school
4. Do expat get any social benefits?
Please be quick to reply, I need to make decision soon.
Thanks.
