On the anti-depressant thing, this is mainly due to the fact you can by Vitamin D at the apothecary and those counts as anti-depressive as well if your doctor prescribes them for any reason, even if you are not depressed
Denmark here, I'm a home owner, of a 95 m2 = 1,022.5 sq. ft. house in the outskirts of the 2nd largest city in Denmark. Partly renovated in late 2021 (new 3-layer/triple pane windows, new doors, new red tile roof). The house mortgage is just around $445 a month + a $205 private homeowners cooperative community association fee (which include property taxes, a homeowners' insurance, outdoor/external maintenance and renovations, including, windows, roof, private community roads and sidewalks, snow plowing and salt spreading service, trash & garbage disposal service) So $650 a month all included + $120 a month for water, electricity and heating Internet, 2 phones, an extra large TV package = $150 a month Food and all the other stuff you would need = $300 a month So all included I spend around $1,220 a month to pay for all the basic necessities. I earn around $255 to $360 a day, depending on the hours and day of the week, and my present part-time job as a night watch with no degree required (though I do have one) is nothing fancy. So in principle I only need to work 6 to 7 days a month on average for all the basic necessities to be paid for. In other words, what you may find to be expensive is not what I would consider to be all that expensive.
@@henriklarsen8193 it's a luxury being able to eat out, or ordering in, which i think should be expensive, but those are just very overdone, and sold for too much... should be cheaper, but.....
Well just wait till you go through a Nordic winter its dark all day barely any sun, people moving here from non Nordic countries often getting depressed its grey and dark and cold
We definitely have a love/hate relationship with Sweden.... Butbit's like a brotherly love/hate relationship... We can tease them (and they can tease us), but if ANY outsiders do it... We stick together and do it to them 😂😂😂
As a dane we pronounce the letter H, v is not w, we almost never use w other than weekend 😂 next queen margrethe 2 is not longer the regent, king frederik x is 😂
The fact that there was talking about how gold is some times Like a hot day in Denmark is maybe 20 to 25 degrees and cold day in America is like 32 degrees and hot day in America is maybe 102 degrees but a cold day in Denmark is maybe -15 degrees so I’m pretty sure it’s a little warmer in America than in Denmark only a little
or just mis said, like the part about the Danish/Norwegian relation.. Norway is Denmark´s girlfriend that Sweden took away in 1814, when Denmark-Norway was spilt up as a union.
Sure we have a higher tax bracket, but with that comes a large part of a social welfare system that has free hospital and GP visits, Education is free, even Universities. Students are paid every month an amount to secure them while they study, our social welfare also provides disabled people with services that would otherwise be a huge impact on their economy, such a prosthetics legs and arms. Medications are deducted every year for every person which means that every time you purchase, the government will provide a deduction which lowers prescription medication. I have only just lined up a small speck of the social welfare Denmark has. Denmark is a great country no doubts. However, there are ALSO many gray areas where Denmark is less that "Happy go lucky" all the time. This being partner violence for instance. Experience Denmark, you wouldn't be disappointed. Denmark has a very big American population as well, so you wouldn't be left alone without a fellow American to seek help and advice from or just in a social aspect. Welcome
Janteloven in general is meant to be anti arrogance but sometimes people take it too far. More rarely on others, but people who are already hard on themselves can easily start seeing any type of self praise as arrogant. I myself is under the latter category. In general I think it's a good thing as long as it's kept in the background and not taken too seriously. After all, nothing is worse and more disruptive in a group than somebody who can't stop wanting to blow smoke up their own ass and try to claim all the attention all the time. About the anti-depressant thing. This is something not many know, but D-vitamin in pill form is apparently counted as anti-depressants my both the EU and US... I guess it's cause it gives energy when you lack it due to dark weather and thus has an anti-depressant effect? Anyways, Danes consume a lot of it, especially during the winter months as the lack of snow means lack of light and thus lack of vitamin D. The sirens are also used for chemical disasters etc.. Not many years ago there was a huge fire near where I lived and they used the sirens along with phone messages to inform people that they should stay indoors and close the windows till the smoke cleared.
We do have hight tax in Denmark, but then we do not need to worry if we get sick or need medical treatment. There is a better social security. We do not need to pay for education, but get some money in form of "SU". If you live at home you can get 157$ before tax( becorse the first approx 593$ in a months is taxfree, you do note need to pay tax unles you have job on the side) and if you got your own apartment then you get around 1000$ before tax (after tax it should be like 850$ you get in a month to take a education). So to sum up, we do not need to save up money for hospital bill or for education and our future is not so uncertain.Most dansih do not have a problem to pay our tax, becurese we get so much in return.
Thanks for reacting. 😊 I'm from Denmark... It is a big misconception that the Swedes, Norwegians and Danes can understand each other when we each speak our own language. In reality, most people have a difficult time with it. The Swedes and the Norwegians often find it easier to understand each other... but for the two of them, Danish is often very difficult to understand. Their joke is that we have a potato in our mouths. That's just how it is.
I'm danish, grew Up in Sweden, and watched Norwegian tv shows. I'm also linguistic and have an ear for languages. But the Nordic countries often have difficulties understanding each other, I have No clue of either icelandic or faeroyeric, thou I do recognize it when I hear it, but can't tell wich is what 😂😂😂 My kids doesn't understand swedish, even if they Saw swedish childrens program. It's not about the agegroups, because my grandparents didn't understod swedish either, and they lived in Copenhagen.
@@hellefur7861 When I was at school it was mandatory to learn to understand some of the Swedish and Norweagian languages and now if I listen to scandinavians I have no problem with understanding what rhey all say if they speak a littel slow

Denmark isn't a founding member of the EU and the only EU country with a valid exemption of the obligation to implement conversion to the EURO (Sweden slipped through using a loophole).
@@FaithlessDeviant Sweden got their "exemption" by joining at the right time. The agreement to implement the Euro was ratified by all participating countries before Sweden joined but it wasn't in the agreement for the Swedish membership, an oversight on the EU part. That oversight was corrected before the next bunch of countries joined. This is one of the hurdles the UK is going to face if it ever wants to rejoin the EU, it will have to implement the Euro (and pretty quick at that as the EU is pretty sick of the UK weaseling out of obligations).

EU was founded by six countries (France, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg). Denmark joined about a decade later and at that time the EU consisted of 9 countries when UK, Ireland and Denmark joined. Today the EU consists of 27 countries.
Nah, the EU was formed much later. The 1959 Treaty of Rome was nothing but about forming an economic treaty between a few countries. Nothing like current EU. The EEC was just to make it easier to trade with each other. There was no law making entity. 95% of what the EU is now, was not there.

yes, in the winter, many Danes needs them, like my self, even in the summer, as i'm not out much...
And Denmark also take depression fairly seriously as an illness and give a better treatment then the good old "be happy"
It's the highest taxes but healthcare is free and education is free. Infact students get payed for it. So you save a lot of money

You can get a good sandwich for far less, $7-10.
Just skip the fancy restaurants, and buy Them at a butcher or sandwich shop.
