The One about the Dutch and Money
In this episode Colleen and Allard discuss money and how the Dutch are different when it comes to their spending and lending habits. What's up with Dutch credit cards? Why are there no 'real' credit cards in this country? ...and more importantly: are the Dutch truly as cheap as everyone says or is it just practicality? Colleen and Allard agree it's likely somewhere in the middle....but don't get Colleen starting about the Dutch and their stingy gift giving habits! From extreme couponing to the Dutch obsession with 'zegels', the Dutch generosity for charity and avoiding debt - they go there. Be warned: Allard insists on eating hagelslag and Calve peanut butter throughout the entire episode....just proving he is a walking, talking Dutch stereotype! ;)
