Well it is competitive with other salaries in the Netherlands. If you don't have a family or want to buy a house then you can live reasonably well here on such a salary. If you have a family or are trying to buy a house though, it can be quite challenging. Median salary for everyone is lower still of course...

indeed, why anyone would want to be able to buy a house when getting paid a median salary of a professional full-time employee.
