My wife is American. Judging by her progress learning Dutch well enough to be able to speak would take 6 months.
It will take her years because she does duolingo for 5 minutes every day and speaks a bit of Dutch with me.
But given by how her progress goes, I'd say it'd take 6 months if you go intensely about it.
Dutch is close to English in vocab.
And by the wealth tax you mean box 3? I don't know how other countries do it but as we currently have it, I find this way more chill than the US. You don't need to log your trades, you don't need to care about capital gains. You'll roughly pay 1% about your net income.
If you want to avoid that a bit: buy art in your house that's stable (if I recall correctly, I'm not a laywer) and your house is your primary residence. So any money that you put into that doesn't get taxed.
We'll change soon to a capital gains system probably anyway, a few years tops, so this point is probably moot.
Again, I'm not a laywer or financial advisor. I sometimes read up on these things, but I'm not razor sharp on it.
