RE: Top Ten Cities in The World By Monthly Income

in #topten8 years ago

Your two-word summary of the cost of living here in Oslo is spot on: "thats crazy". Haha! Yes, it is crazy expensive here. Im talking $10 beers, $20 cheeseburgers, etc. etc. Oh and 25% VAT on everything (in addition to steep income taxes).

As far as what you get for your tax dollars (or kroner I should say), its pretty similar to Denmark. Technically, health care isnt free as you pay about $30 per doctors visit (more for specialists), but it is capped at somewhere around $1000/yr and then its 100% covered.

So, the salaries might be higher on average, but its necessary here or else most people would barely be scraping by.
