Living costs in Brussels
Hi,
We are considering a move to Brussels on a contract job. However would like some advice or guidance on cost of living, taxes, good points and bad points. There are three of us (2 adults and a toddler).
Thanks, Pete

Re: Living costs in Brussels
Honestly - the taxes are very high. I don't know how much of it would apply to you as a foreigner but regardless you will have to pay quite a bit automatically - through salary.
As for housing- depending on what you're looking for, you can find a price that suits that need. I pay 400 for a studio in the very center, for example.
