2020: #1 Steem City
Yes I am living in Steem City right now :D
But but it's virtual...
I have lived in Copenhagen for many years and will again this summer. The cost of living is pretty expensive, but not as expensive as Oslo (thats crazy). If you have to rent an appartment of 50 square meters in central Copenhagen it would cost you at least 1000 $ pr month. A decent dinner cost 20 $ if you cook it yourself. (two persons). Other than that Denmark is a wonderful place to live except the wheather, and the taxes are high, but you get a lot! You get paid to study, in fact we get 600-700 $ pr month by the goverment if we are studying. Free health care, free schools and the crime rate is very low.
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 $1000/yr and then its 100% covered.
So, the salaries might be higher on average, but its necessary here or else most people would barely be scraping by.
Yes they never take into account the cost of living/taxes/healthcare etc.. that makes a huge difference.
Hi there, i live in Sydney and i can tell you we are the property bubble capital of the world.
lol I feel you. I used to live in NY.
The cost of living here is ridiculous, prices of everything just keeps going up and the gruberment is always looking for more money to steal. Other than that its a great place to live.
Good job with this post! Keep it up
That would be the average yearly income where I live.
but how does the cost of living compare, higher income does not mean higher standard of living.
The cost of living is pretty low. You could easily get by with around 300$ a month. :)
