    I don't understand why everyone thinks America is cheaper than Norway when I pay far more than that per month to live Maine in a three person family. Unless I'm missing something, Scandinavian living is actually cheaper than Maine living by almost 1000 USD a month, and I'm in Maine, not New York City here. America's just getting way too expensive, we're hoping to move to Norway one day as it's kind of our dream land.

    In Norway you pay a lot of taxes, but they cover most of the health services. For instance if you have to stay in hospital for any reason, you will not pay for that. If you get medical treatment and see a doctor you will pay up to a certain sum . The amount exceeding this will be free.

    And about electr.- what kind of heating system do you have? I guess for those who have mostly electric radiators, would be this cost much higher?

    Thought I would share an insight by comparing an avg cost of childcare and food here in the US to this budget in Norway... the average US parent will spend $200 a week ($800usd a month) on childcare while according to this budget the Norwegian equivalent is $300usd a month... My partner and I (w/o children) budget $650usd per month for food (and we eat frugally), while this budget spends $650usd per month on food with children. When accounting for the cost of student loan repayment, the US standard cost of living skyrockets. I would love to find a way to live in Europe someday! Thanks for sharing your budget it is a great tool for seeing the break down of daily life there.

      There are HUGE import taxes for cars.
      It's not convenient at all to bring your own car into Norway.
      You will have one year to register your car and when you will do, the cost will be about 50% of the original cost of the car (as new)

    Oh, they have free education and medical!
    Nope. Pay here, pay there, pay the municipality, pay sales tax, pay some more…
    Nothing… NOTHING… is “free”
    Your budget is almost exactly the same cost as my California budget. But we never paid for kindergarten… but plenty of school expenses anyway.
    It seems like the cost of my communist union-negotiated health and dental plan is much better than what I’m learning about what Norwegians have.

      stevenjohnson. You are right, litterally it’s not free, but . . .
      In 2022, I had inguinal hernia surgery. After three days I was sent home, but I got an infection and spent four more days in the hospital. I don’t remember if I paid 35 or 40$. 40$ is not free, but. . .
      From internet: Americans earning average wages need to work 484 hours to afford a typical hospital stay. The average per-day hospital cost is $2,883. Average earning among private U.S. workers are $33.82 an hour.

      @@geiryvindeskeland7208 Yes, I understand that point about American healthcare expenses. The Affordable Healthcare Act (ObamaCare) was intended to eliminate that problem, but as usual politics got in the way, and a lot of good things got trashed. Part of the way it was to eliminate that problem was that every American would be required to obtain some sort of healthcare insurance.
      A RUclips comment section is not a good place for such a complex and complicated discussion, unfortunately.
      Of course, I cannot speak for every American, but I have a well-paying working class job and my healthcare plan by is United Healthcare. I pay $384 per month for that, and I have co-pays and a few deductibles. I think one of my deductibles is $500, but my average co-pay is $25 to $40 depending on service. The rest of the expenses are covered by UHC ~
      So I think there are probably some places in America where the insurance is terrible, and I’ve seen some of those rates. I believe my insurance is pretty good, and I’ve had UHC since 1999 and I am definitely a believer in that there is no such thing as a free lunch. We all have to pay somehow.
      And I know there are a lot of American jobs here that have just awful health insurance.
