I don't have money for a washing machine.
Worried about money?
Because you can't buy a washing machine, you can't pay your other bills either, and debts are mounting.
Talking helps.
But that is precisely what is so difficult. In the Netherlands we don't talk easily about money worries. Even though everyone has money worries at some point in their lives. The danger? That you think - and say: it will be all right. Many people wait too long before seeking help. Avoid getting (further) into trouble. Because the sooner you talk about it, the sooner you can be helped. By a friend or neighbor. By Hulp op Maat or another organization in our municipality.
Asking for help costs nothing!
Do you have money worries or difficulty making ends meet?

You are not alone.
Can't manage to buy a washing machine or a decent bed? Because you have many other bills lying around that need to be paid.
Come talk to us about this. We offer you customized help in 3 simple steps.
Check out some solutions in advance below:
Make use of the durable consumer goods scheme
If you have a low income and don't have the money to buy a refrigerator or a bed, see if you qualify for the durable consumer goods scheme. You must be able to prove that the chosen product is necessary for you.
Find out if you can receive the individual income supplement
If you have not had a job for some time, making it difficult to pay the rent, for example, apply for this supplement. You can do this once a year. Whether you qualify for the supplement depends on:
- The amount of your income
- Your age
- The likelihood of getting a job or higher income
