    To me, it sounds more like they have lived a European life, not a sheltered life. Outside of the UK, there aren’t any European countries I know of that use e.g. credit cards on a d…

    imihajlov.com would cost around 10 USD per month and as another reply mentioned, static site hosting is free. I guess it's a bottomless pit but it's "only" 10 USD and it's nice to …

    To put this into perspective a little, Belgian income tax is 40% after 23000 euros (which is now 23k dollar) and 50% after 43000 euros. So the issue here is the middle and even low…
