I really appreciate the dedication in each video you post. Despite the dip in crypto, l still thank you for the level headed financial advice. I started crypto investment with $6,400 and since following you for few weeks now, 1 ve got $20,655 in my portfolio. Thank you so much Charlotte Walsh.
High taxes? I pay 21%, but for that amount I get benefits that are worth many times more than that sum! And I contribute towards everybody else getting them, too. That's part of how you build and maintain a fair, stable and well-run society where the citizens can enjoy a typical Nordic welfare state of trust and without fear.
I just came from a comment where another Finn clarified this issue. He (I presume) said you need to adjust your estimated annual earnings or else you will pay up to 40.2% and a lot of people really forget to make that adjustment whenever their annual earnings change.
The pros in the video are generally correct, but the cons are described with a bias, and in general a bit misleading. If you learn Finnish to even a mediocre level, no more, every impression of Finland changes. Similar is true of every other country. It is a very imperial attitude to arrive in a country and expect to thrive in languages that are foregn to the locals. Finland in itself is historically and traditionally a multifasetted, multicultural, multilingual country, with a large group of Swedish-speakers (speaking many dialects among them), a large enough group of Sámi people, a substantial group of Karelians, and also not so few immigrants from Russia, Germany, all of Europe, and among them the Baltic countries. You can notice these influences in not only place and family names rooted in genuine Finnish, but so many others; you might notice: Brahe, Rosenlew, Serlachius, Sinebrychoff, Fazer, Rotkirch, Svinhufvud, Finlayson, Sibelius, Sonck, Jansson, Långbacka, and hundreds of others. In more recent years there has come immigrants, students, and refugees from all over the world. In general Finns are not prejudiced about looks, but rather relaxed and open, fun-loving, generous, and very industrious. And Finns are rather content with the taxes, feminism, masses of rules and all, so though free to move practically anywhere on the globe, Finns are generally not keen to emigrate. But as no surprise to thinking foreigners: in Finland, understanding and speaking Finnish is the key, so don't expect Finns to open up in English on the spot. OnIy if you know the Finnish language you can rapidly learn to know the Finns as they are. If you are a foreigner, do try to speak Finnish in the very first contact. Finns immediately hear that you struggle, and as being a very helpful lot, then they may volunteer to help you out, sharing the struggle, by their struggling with English themselves. It creates a level playing field. Finnish is namely easy for you to pronounce, but all foreign languages are difficult for Finns to pronounce. Why? - Because *almost* all Finnish sounds are represented in the world's main languages, but not the other way around. When you come to Finland for more than a weeks vacation, at least learn the Finnish alphabet, so that you can pronounce any written word. The formerly high suicide rates were a heritage from the five devastating years of war (Finland's war of defence against Soviet Union, during Word War 2) and the harsh years (about 10-20) after the war, when Finland paid back every penny the country had in debts to those who had lended money for Finland's defence, like Great Britain (thank you!). Then the rebuilding of Finland was expensive, too. The accomodation of the refugees from the East of Finland, the part that the Soviet Union occupied/took, was a difficult task. The Soviet army had bombed Finland to trash, but not to submission. Housing was therefore a huge problem, families of six were happy to find even one room without conveniences to survive in. Families lived years in saunas and the simplest shelters. The financing of mental health initiative really wasn't prioritized, and that was one of the mistakes made, i.e. not taking care of the veterans and the wounded, if from battle or from bombs dropped over civilian targets. The war-time efforts and the subsequent rebuilding also strained Finns to exhaustion. I think it is hard for people from abroad to understand how tough it was. But I'm very worried about Ukrainians and Palestinians and others in today's world. Finns in their 80's and 90's still have unhealed trauma and their families have suffered as the next generations. But, improvement is on its way, now as a first adult generation of Finns, has at last grown up with parents and grand-parents who have never experienced on-going war themselves, which improves the mental conditions a lot. And remarkably Finland's mental status is average in Europe nowadays, despite the winters.
Wow thanks for the explanation. Can i ask you, im planning to move there from Indonesia, my english is pretty average. How hard is it to learn Finnish langguage??? Also do you need a certification for it? Like Japanese, and chinese.
Your explination of finnish mental health and suiside rates are the first of a kind, that I buy totally! It is very logical explination, how the harsh war years in 1939-1944 moulded our nation for generations. Altogether I truly enjoyed reading your profound explination. And I must say, that I have shared for quite some time the same fear and sadness for Ukrainians and all other nations, who have to go through that inferno, once again, that affects the nation for many generations to come! 😰
Hello from America. Thank you for your explanation to clarify the misunderstanding. Finland is a beautiful country. I watched many videos about Finland. Also, Finland is ranked as the happiest country. It must be earned for a reason. I hope I can visit your beautiful country someday.
You will learn it, when you are motivated. Just use it and ask for right word. With gestures, open mind and smile you get far in the beginning, when learning the basic words and sentences. Maybe Duolingo or other free app will help you in the beginning. Welcome to Finland, we welcome especially people, who come to work here. 🇫🇮🤗🫶
Finland's suicide rates have gone drastically down in 30 years. We don't live in the 1950's anymore. Watch the statistics in the video "Comparison Suicide rates by countries/ country suicide rate comparison." 62 highest suicide countries and Finland is not even mentioned. Ot of the other Nordic countries Iceland and Denmark are mentioned before Finland. The highest suicide countries are: The 1st RUSSIA. The 2nd South Korea. The 3rd Kazakstan it the 4th Ukraine and the 5 th Japan. By the way the other Nordic countries have the same climate like in Finland.
It sounds perfect for me. New friendships tend to try and move too fast for me and the discomfort builds and it fizzles out. At least I know the other person is comfortable enough to race the friendship though.
As a Finn I pay 0.5% tax this year, I think that´s quite low, What do you think? About 80% of this video was B-roll not from Finland. And living here is not expensive I pay rent 600/month and my food cost is about 250€ per month when I prepare healthy meals my self, it takes about 3 to 4 hour a week. And if you live in a city is public transport fairly cheap and accessible. Last time a police officer was killed in duty, if I recall right was 2016 and year 2022 there was 279 violent or suspicious death cases, this number includes shootings, stabbings, DUI traffic accidents where people lost their lives and drug related deaths etc. Safe country, I´ll pay any tax the government determines.
Wrong. Finland's suicide rates have gone drastically down in 30 years. Watch the statistics in the video: " Comparison suicide rates by countries/Country suicide rate comparison." 62 highest suicide countries and Finland is not even mentioned.
@@autofashi0n Maybe then better you head to other countries with beautiful girls. We in Finland look for happy and flexible people, content with their everyday life in a free and safe country with beautiful nature always nearby. Then you will fit in nicely here! 🇫🇮😉🫶
Pensioners on minimum pension pay only 15 % of their rent and government pays 85 % . Even people working get huge amount of rent assistance , so compared to other countries finland's rents are very low .
Coming to Finland as a legal immigrant (likewise me) is a waste of time. Finland is the best place for illegal immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers etc.
Finland has created a fake image of having best educational system, happiness, etc. However, in reality (from perspective of foreigner), that image is unreal. The problem with Finland is marginalization of foreigners. Here, they want you to work in a low rank jobs and nothing else.
migrants of different cultures are not the problem, people are never the problem. instead, the rest of europe should imitate finland's government, not just stop people from immigrating.
@@reaperskeepers Indeed, the bad conditions that people try to escape, these are the circumstances to improve, so that emigration woud not be an option. Every immigrant has emigrated, not being happy in their country of origin in the first place. That's the root of the problems.
Depends on your family background as in many countries. Did your parents give love, secure enviroment to grow up and do things with you? Or the opposite? And it depends on your own mental health issues and how you have learned to deal with them. As well as your parents mental health. And then differing from many other countries, it depends on your own choices. In Finland all healthy people have a vast variety of choices, what you want to learn or do. In the end it is you, who makes the decision, hard way = taking care of your school work, studying (to make it, you don't need to study really hard, as in many other countries!). Or do you choose the easy and lazy way of life! Even THAT is an option in Finland for us, but it truly is not the most enjoyable life or happiest way to spend your one and only journey here on planet earth. Finland is a wonderful country for hard working, honest and good-hearted people! ❤🇫🇮🤗

How!! I know it's possible I would appreciate if you show me how to go about it.
What is the best way to make money from crypto trading?
As a beginner, it's essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. I'm guided by a widely known crypto professional.
The professional is Charlotte Junko Walsh
Sounds familiar, I have heard her names on several occasions.. And both her success stories on wall street journey!

Finns get a bad wrap for being impersonal but it isn’t true. If you make an effort they are super welcoming and very friendly to everyone
Agree

Hey i want to come in finland for my mba and also hoping working there after my mba is it worth it? And can i get any help if i was in need?
Wow
High number of suicides? That's only slightly above the EU average.

Then why can't they reduce these high taxes???😢
The lack of corruption is an astounding statistic. This is a truly rare trait around the world.
Do not come to Finland to find community. You are alone a along time. But you can live well alone.
