Franklin Seute – Author & Founder

As the author of Living Rich as a Student in the Netherlands, I’ve drawn from my personal experiences as an international student from Aruba to help others navigate the financial challenges of studying abroad. I moved to the Netherlands in 2015 to study Mechatronics Engineering at Avans University of Applied Sciences. Throughout my studies, I faced various challenges—financial management being one of the most significant. These firsthand experiences inspired me to write Living Rich as a Student in the Netherlands, a practical guide filled with budgeting tips and advice for living frugally while pursuing higher education.

Since 2020, we’ve been hosting budgeting workshops for students in the Netherlands, Aruba, Curaçao, and Bonaire, equipping students with essential financial literacy skills. Our goal is to expand our reach every year, ensuring that all students—Dutch and international alike—gain the confidence to take control of their finances.

  • It changes your perspective.

    “When I first bought this book I had been living in the Netherlands as a student for 5 years. I had to learn many of these hacks the hard way. However, I was still amazed to see how many tips I could still apply to my day to day. The book has changed my perspective on saving money, instead of it being a necessity it has become a hobby. I think many students will benefit from this book for years to come.

    The tables, bullet points and summaries after each chapter makes it an easy and fun read. The author was able to make personal finances an engaging and appealing topic for teens and young adults.

    I highly recommend this book, you'll start seeing savings in a whole different light!”— Josh C.

  • Ik raad dit boek zeker aan.

    “Ik raad dit boek zeker aan. Dit boek bevat veel tips over financiële en algemene zaken als je naar Nederland gaat immigreren om te studeren. Daarnaast geeft dit boek diverse handvatten, zodat jij als student je eigen financiële situatie onder controle kunt houden.”— Tahis M.

  • Het boek heeft mij echt geholpen.

    "Hi, ik ben een eerste jaars student die Franklins boek heeft gelezen. Voordat ik dit heb gedaan ben ik gegaan naar een workshop van Franklin waarbij hij ons heeft laten zien hoe we precies onze budget moesten maken, waarmee we rekening moesten houden en gaf hij ons tips over 'living a frugal lifestyle.’ Dit heeft tijdens het lezen echt geholpen omdat ik al ervaring had opgedaan tijdens de workshop met echt kijken naar bedragen en hoeveel ik uitgaf en waar ik geld kon besparen. Verder hielp de workshop mij om mijn verwachting over mijn financiën aan te passen.

    Ik had een heel ander (verkeerd) idee over hoeveel geld ik nodig had en de
    workshop gaf me veel inzicht in de realiteit van de levenskosten in Nederland. Hierdoor was het minder eng om te beginnen met budgetteren en kon ik zijn tips over de 5-bucket strategie toepassen.

    Wat ik heel fijn vind omdat ik nu bijna al voldoende heb gespaard om tijdens de
    vakantie naar een aantal andere landen te gaan!”

  • Helpful guidance and realistic!

  • Awesome book.

    “Awesome book. Bought a copy for my daughter who's in H5 so she could read it and be well prepared for student life in the Netherlands next year. She never showed an interest in financial matters, but is reading non stop and now wants to open an investment account. It's well written and the content is great. Buying 2 more copies today: one for my 18 yr old son and one as a gift for a friend 🙂”— Julia R.
