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.
