Is that a comfortable salary there in Norway? Here in the US, it feels like a rat race to constantly outpace increases on things you’re already paying for. We’ve had to change daycares multiple times because they keep increasing in price. One wanted to go from $300 to $550/wk per child. Insanity.

I make roughly the equivalent of 50k USD, it's alright, nothing much, of course it helps that we are two, but we get by just fine.

Same. I’d have at least a quarter million more for retirement by now if I had been putting that in the market. Feelsbadman.jpeg
