    I am from Australia and I am hoping to do exchange next year. I was worried that Norway would be really expensive! But it's actually cheaper than where I live!
    There is accomodation right near the university in Oslo for 4000-5000 NOK per month, that is about 700 AUD which is very cheap. At my university in Melbourne, to live on campus costs about $2000AUD per month. That is 11600 NOK.

    The best thing about this channel is that we don't hear the typical information other people might tell, because most of youtubers would be informative just like Wikipedia, I would suggest if i may to see more videos about Portugal, i think many people find Portugal an interesting place but there are not too many information regarding this country.

    For the expenses you mentioned. They seem to be less expensive than what we pay in Australia. In Australia, weekly rent for a average apartment is about 400 AUD, internet 50 AUD per month, electricity about 100 AUD per month or more during summer. Monthly public transport ticket costs more than 120 AUD per month. Oh BTW, I pay 25% tax overall on my income!

    • @Sillygaminghd
      @Sillygaminghd 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's probably the same as other places in the world. It highly depends on your habits. Also, where in Norway you live may increase/decrease your spending. If you want to live cheap, you can here. You just have to be more conscious about your choices.

  • @Luredreier
    @Luredreier 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    3:44 Wow, 34 NOK is *nothing* for a single ticket, sure you don't have some kind of discount or something?
    Here in Trondheim it's 50 NOK for a single ticket for an adult.
    However you can use various discounts to get about 37 NOK for one hour and 15 min I think it was for an adult.
    If you're a student you can pay 2280 NOK for 180 days of unlimited traveling within the city center (or roughly 12 NOK pr day).
    Elderly people, kids and people serving in the military can get similar deals.
    As for the 30 day ticket it's 760 NOK for adults and 460 for students here in Trondheim.
    Regarding resturants I usually spend about 300-350 for one meal and a drink when eating out in the cheaper places (although there might be cheaper places out there) and all the way up towards 500 in the more expensive ones...
    Mind you, I'm vegetarian, so there's a lot of resturants etc that's simply not a option for me, as well as a lot of dishes that's not a option even in resturants that does have vegetarian food...
    On the whole you're spending a little less then me each month, but not by much.
    And I live a pretty frugal life so I'm impressed. =)

      1MinuteFlipDoc dang that is expensive. Switzerland is expensive but a studio apt even in the big cities goes for half of that. Less than 10m on train away you can find 2 bedroom apartments for less than that too. I live on a decent studio apt, not far from the city, with pretty much everything around me, and lucky to see the Geneva lake out of my windows. Around $800 monthly rent with a parking place.

    A norwegian here.. I would definitively want to know how you manage to spend so little? I live alone.. but groceries alone cost me 3000kr, 6000kr on house loan, 3000 kr on monthly house "rent".. so if I am very mindful about spending, I could possibly do with 14000kr a month, but you'll have to live too.. so It usually goes above 20000 a month.

    Salary is public knowledge in Norway, and so is how much you pay in taxes. This transparency is actually by law. Once a year, you can visit the local tax office, and look into the books showing how much everyone who resides in the municipality (kommune) earns, and how much they pay in taxes.
    Or you can log on to the tax authorities website any time of the year, and look up anyone’s salaries and taxes. The service is free, but bear in mind that it’s not anonymous, so anyone you look up, will be notified that you did so. Also, the online option is only available to the taxpayers of Norway.

    150NOK/hour, so if you work let's say 7-8 hours a day, 5 days a week, per 4 week(1 month) = ruffly 23000+ NOK per month, which is okay, considering you are not paying for Uni you have left around 8000+- NOK for yourself, that's minus all the rent, accommodation, food etc. Is not that bad, I thought Norway would be more expensive... :D Thanks for the video, very informative!
    Plus! If you are living alone you can find a flat for around 4000-6000NOK per month, and it's quite big, already checked, it's all determined on how hard you are looking for smth.

    • @MonAmieDesserts

      @nislaav6712 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah I remember the "part time" moment, but I was just calculating if you would work like full time, 40+ hours, it's actually quite manageable to live in Norway. :) And the rent for 1 room flat as I've seen on the internet is like 4000 to 6500 per month which is sooo good!

    My children are 7 and 10. I am seriously thinking of having them attend university in Norway for reasons I won't go into here. Having said that, I very much encourage my children to study music. Where I live, very accomplished piano teachers charge around $40 and hour for piano lessons. However, IF .... you can find a violin teacher (I am in small town Canada), no one teaches for less than $50 an hour and many charge quite a bit more. Music Students in Canada can do exams at examinations centres with the Royal Conservatory of Music. Thus, it is is not hard for a dedicated student to be at grade 9 or 10 level by the age of 18. $50 an hour teaching violin is much better than working in a restaurant as a starving student! I am wondering how much music lessons cost in Norway. What is the NOrwegian equivalent of kijiji.ca or craigslist? I imagine it is technically "illegal" for students to teacher under the table. However, I lived overseas for 10 years and I know that in most cases, no one really cares about someone doing private teaching or tutoring on the side. Please advise if you know about music lessons in Norway!

    Norway is a pretty good country if you have average or below skills. Like if you're a bus driver or work in a supermarket, you'll probaby earn 3 times as much as in most other countries.
    However if you're a engineer you might get paid less, have higher taxes etc.
    The restaurant problem can be solved by saving up the money for when you go on vacations. The 200 kr resturant mentioned here is basicly Thai/China places, if you go to a real resturant it will cost 500-1000 per person.
    What I do is I go to a Norwegian resturant maybe once or twice a year on my own tab, I might eat out a few times a year with work too on their tab.
    Then I save for vacations and get the h... out and enjoy better and much cheaper food in other countries.
    I also try to not go to pubs much, but it's hard to be social with your co-workers on your vacation, so sometimes you have to go out and burn some money at a pub.
    I really hate that a bottle of wine cost 500 kr in a bar, it's crazy, the same bottle sold in a store in Italy cost maybe 5 euro(50 kr).
    But it's not the state that force the bars to charge 500 though. No idea how that happend, or the economy of bars in general. But the bars pot 300 kr easily from that bottle.
    Another way to save money is to buy Take Away, the VAT is lower on Take away, and you drink your own store bought wine. The difference here is dramatic. You can buy fancy Sushi in a good resturant for 350 NOK + a 150 bottle of wine, that's Sushi +wine for 2 for 500 NOK. If you had that in the resturant it would have been 1500 NOK.

    I live in Bergen and my experience is similar in practically all respects, just with the exception of the grocery. You must do some kind of miracle to be able to buy diverse and good food including fruit and meat and fit into 700kr per month. How do you manage to do that? OK, I am a tall guy, maybe I eat more than you, but I even asked my friend, who is a slim girl and she told me proudly, that she usually fits into 5000kr a month on grocery... She does not buy especially pricey stuff, just normal things. What is your secret?

    • @MonAmieDesserts
      @MonAmieDesserts  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Haha god point. At the time I made this video I was trying really hard not to spend loads of money so I was really concious on the things I bought. Also I am a soup kinda girl and I rarely eat meat. But I would say that nowadays I spend around 1500kr per month on groceries. ;)

    • @uroboroh
      @uroboroh 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the reply! OK, 1500 is still pretty miraculous :-) After this conversation I will probably start watching closely what do I buy and how much exactly I spend in a month. If I find it is as terrible as I suspect, I might ask you some advice on how to keep it low here in Norway. Btw. you make very nice videos, I watched a bunch of them and they are very enjoyable! :-)
