RE: STEEM: Whales Are Losing Their Power....The System Is Not Broken...Report through 2/15/18
yeah, I live in finland. 6250$ a month is not too hefty once you convert that to euros. You can propably live, but you won't be able to save too much. There was a plummer, a young guy, in a construction-site whilest I was still working. He made about 3000€ (without taxes), lived on rent (about 500€) and was complaining how he was not realy able to have much more than 200€ saving every month. It is almost like miracle here how they have managed to make any attempts to improve your economical position so fucking hard.
If I remember well the Finland bnp per head is $44k. So $75k is close to the standard income for a couple ($88k) and probably even higher as the $88k would be much lower once you've paid taxes.
So if you are right the average person in Finland is not really living in.... Ehm don't know the English word. Like the opposite of poverty.
(Sorry don't have time to look it up on my mobile and couldn't find it instantly)
You could mean rich or well-off? I think things are bad here. People have taken alot of loans to look like they are some kind of middle-class. Thoses taxes you are going to pay for your income are 20-30% atleast. One thig that also makes living hard is a fact that finland is very loosely populated, which means that there are not realy a big centers, and therefore it is hard to get alot of buyers from one area. Also things are very regulated. As far as I have understood, middle-class has been thinning for some time already.
