On average they give about 135 Euros on dinners, gifts and other Christmas purchases. That’s about 15 euros more than last year, ING has estimated.
According to ING economist Senne Janssen is a signal that we stand for something better financially. Most consumers have more to spend than last year, their purchasing power has increased and they have a little more confidence, Janssen says.
At the same time the differences in size. One in five Dutch say no more than 50 euros will spend Christmas. An issue in twenty thinks more than 400.
One in four single elderly says no the Christmas celebration. In people with lower incomes is that one in five

On average 15 euros spend more on Christmas! That may sound positive, but it is a distorted picture. Where you last year 30 euros spent now costs 40 euros. In addition, less income and higher excise duties and taxes. Gosh what goes well in the Netherlands … do not make me laugh!
Another strange story that expert. Confidence in the economy? I lose almost every month something to my two small pensions. One 92. == Euros per month and the other 200. == Euros per month. this single above my AOW. Have paid 45 years of contributions and I see it every month less because the Hague unthinkingly monitor that is increasingly on minima are reduced. Care, EMEA and discount charges skyrocketing. Later still an additional .. Shame Mr Rutte!
Minima can no extras to buy more let alone participate socially. This government has so enormously pruned in the purchasing power of minimums that with them the water really is up to the lips. Benefits and minimum wages must therefore up, then everyone can join in again and again Netherlands is really a society.
I do not give out too much at Christmas because of a death did I not want to but I try to eat well.
for people that pick on people in poverty just wait you come too close to you to REALLY do not know what bag yet to come would you regret that you were born
I had 2 euro too much to get food aid and living on 50 euros per week with my daughter. I am disabled and have to hit it for years to do this. But I do not complain, you will be resourceful and I fortunately no debts, smoke / do not drink and do not have a car. Most people are too materialistic so the true spirit of Christmas anyway disappears. Fine all day and a healthy 2015!
Why celebrate Christmas and throughout the year is nothing to celebrate.
Have just stopped all the holidays, were unable to pay the minimum wage. make on Christmas day or a walk, I am also equally tasty, and it takes at least nothing. And great a strain jar sausage food for me is already a party times. All my money is spent on bills, because this worthless government always everything by tens of percentage increases there is not opposed to work on.
Money rolls, but then you have to do to let it roll. But as the saying goes, complainants do not need. I wish everyone Merry Christmas and a particularly healthy in 2015 now!
With 20% wage increase because the bonis falls away you literally have a big salmon menu on the table, even at Christmas.
Joop 2001.11.34u. You do not count and neither do we. My husband is in his 16 j go to work, to 28 years in night school, is broken for years worked and paid premium. At 50 years of work related WIA, reading assistance and housing allowance of 95 euros Rutte. Christmas we celebrate not because it does not fit if you do not have money for food and celebrate birthdays. Rutte should be ashamed and Pechthold with his social rent but only from 550 euros contemporaries. 20% wage increase because the bonis fails, then there is Salmon menu.
My husband is work related rejected after years of work broken and must now live on 75% of final salary. Unfortunately for us never no longer celebrate Christmas. We now no longer count. Merry Christmas to the Government, Participate companies, the incoming Dutch and elderly people who have something to celebrate.
How proud can a cabinet VVD, PvdA and D66 especially on a policy which results in these abuses. It just goes to their own gain and remittances to Brussels. The population must but how one gets by.
Miraaa: fine for your having to pay no deductible for your kinderen.Dat yet again saves a lot of what others paid oaouderen singles for your children for their own risk .Fijne Christmas!
More poverty among pensioners, more homeless, more unemployed, more welfare recipients, more people in debt; nice way until no one has to eat and only in The Hague & amp; Brussels politicians dancing on the grave of millions of people below the poverty line.
Do not have to spend a dime why a nice Christmas, elderly and sick pack, that’s Christmas .he Rutte and your great cabinet and gedogers, thanks!
comforting many are alone at Christmas and throughout the year, I think many people have beet required to family and friends, if you can just get by you have no friends, because you can nowhere do to me, yet it is only as bad not fight anything, good food at home alone, of yourself, and just do not think that everything become more expensive again, I wonder if I could be homeless soon, am 65, just to supplement state pension, I wish you a Merry Christmas and still good in 2015, regards
ruben37 (guest) Christmas Money does not roll at minima.Inderdaad there is to spend a little money with Wajongeren 950 per maand.Kreeg still a koopkrachttegemoedkoming ’70 Euro.That money has long been spent, can go begging as minima? To a stukkie kersstol do not do that for fun. 950 euros per month ?! Why are you so unhappy about it. I really hate that complaining to free money. What if you got nothing and slept in a cardboard box was different.
Trieste situation where no one can change anything you belalve itself! Good luck with finding new job!
Must working Netherlands than just pay a bit more tax ?????? All that complaining here, I am simple from there. The effective belqastingdruk runs in the Netherlands for up to 56% and this seems to be enough I think. I do not want to pay more taxes so you occasional pizza can eat (and then complain that t is only a pizza).
Well as Mira!
