As a person living in czech republic let me say that it's still so much easier to socialise in stockholm than in czech republic. People in sweden are more friendly and majority they know english.
Health care is not free, but cheap. A normal visit to a doctor costs SEK 200. If you need to visit care often, you will not pay more than SEK 1,200 in a year. It will be free for the rest of the year if you have reached that amount.
@@annar6294 Unfortunately, dental care is not included and it's expensive. Until now, I have been able to have an agreement where I paid SEK 135 a month, and paid nothing when I needed care. Unfortunately, this agreement ends now as we have too few dentists. If someone is a dentist, nurse, midwife, teacher, etc., you're very welcome to Sweden. We are short of all those professionals.
@@olsa76 that's a shame, the price sounds reasonable. In the UK (specifically in England) we also have to pay for dental treatment, it's free to certain groups but most people have to pay. It's cheaper on the NHS (National Health Service), but nowadays it's extremely hard to even get accepted to an NHS dentist (depending on your location). It's about £20 for a check up and £60 for a filling (only amalgam fillings are offered on nhs for the back teeth) or extraction. Funnily enough you can get a private appointment pretty much straight away, sometimes even at the same dentist but that costs an arm an a leg here too. There are plans available but they only cover check ups and if any work is needed you need to pay extra although it's slightly cheaper that if you didn't have a plan with them. Still extortionate. I find it interesting that there's a shortage of medical staff in Sweden considering the free education. Do you know what's the reason for it? UK has this problem too but I believe this is due to pay (in the nhs) which could be better and education being expensive.
@@annar6294 The problem has been building up since the 90s. There have been cuts after cuts in health care and as early as 1994, as a teenager, I could already see that this was going to be a problem when the boomers started getting sick. How could we reduce the workforce when the greatest generation was aging? But they wanted to save money so it had to crack. When labor problems began, they chose not to raise everyone's wages so that labor would remain in the increasingly demanding conditions, but instead paid dearly for personnel hired from recruitment companies. Then we suddenly had a lot of staff who didn't work in a certain place but were hired where they were most needed, which costs more than giving everyone in the workplace a higher salary. Then, of course, more healthcare staff saw the chance to get a higher salary if they resigned and started working for such a recruitment company. Suddenly we had a vicious circle that is hard to break. They can't just stop bringing in this more expensive labor when the existing labor is too small and they can't afford to raise the wages of everyone else when paying for the expensive hired staff. The bigger the problem has become, the more difficult it has been to find internships for the students (the staff often do not have time with students). Then came a large wave of refugees that gave rapid population growth in many places and then came covid. Now the nursing staff is worn out, tired and many more leave than come in. .....and of course it is now that those born in the 40s are getting sick.
The term “free healthcare” simply means it’s subsided by the government and emergency treatments, operations, births, cancer treatments etc are all taken care of.
A few things. University studies are free, but most people still need a student loan to cover their general cost of living while studying. And some of those who have rich parents and don't need the loan will still get it and buy stock for the money or whatever, because the interest from those loans is pretty low so there is some money to be made if you're good at trading. Also, you don't need to be on a waiting list to buy a home, you just have to place the highest bid. It's the renting market that has long waiting lists, and that's basically because rents are regulated so they can't skyrocket if there's a shortage. And when prices don't reflect demand there will typically be waiting lists. Waiting times for central Stockholm apartments are of course absolutely crazy. Also, Swedish municipalities actually hold a yearly tap water championship where the best tap water of the year is crowned.
My roomate is from Sweden. I have had others but Mats is perfect! He is kind, polite, and most of all, I am not a morning person, so I like my coffee in peace, alone, no talking. Thank God he is similar to me that way. Long story short, he has Health benefits in Sweden, so he wasn't prepared when he got sick here in the USA here. The ambulance was $800 USD for a two mile ambulance ride; $3,000.00 USD for an overnight stay and another $1500 for a follow up with a specialist. He can't work so I am helping him. He was shocked and outraged. I am too. I was born in America, but the Medical system and the system here for people here that end up out on the street because they lose their job thru no fault because of illness is callous , cruel and many people never get back on their feet. I am appalled this happened to him, he can stay with me until he is better. It is frustrating to me to try to find resources for him here. Disability takes 6 months to a year; unemployment takes 4 to 6 weeks, THE USA would be better off going socialist!
Remember - Stockholm is not Sweden. This country is 2200 km from north (68*N) to south (56*N) and 600-700 km from east (24*E) to west (11*E). There's a lot of country to discover. Housing is not a shortage everywhere. Taxrates all depends on how much money you make. Most people don't pay more than 30-35%. Put that in perspective with the pros you just mentioned. Personnummer - yah, that's how we roll. There is only one of you. The winter is what it is. You just have to live through it. Vitamins are good, but to go outside is better and there is at least four hours of daylight when the days are as shortest. Make the most of it. New friends - well you seem to know what to do. Good luck!
Just a few notes: In Stockholm winter is mid/late November - mid March/April. Yes November is dark - snow makes it better. Taxes, you don't pay income tax on everything - there is an barrier you need to reach before paying taxes, albeit it's fairly (very) low. Personnummer, you can apply for a provisional id-number - samordningsnummer - it doesn't provide access to the same services as a regular "personnummer" though.
I was only looking at this video as I am planning to visit Stockholm at the end of November for 5 days, your review has been very informative, and I have to say your delivery of the pros and cons was excellent Frida :) Thanks for making this video.
You are not on a list to buy homes. If you got money you just need to outbid any other bidder, just like everywhere else. The list is for rentals. And the super long lists like 20 years are for the most exclusive areas of Stockholm and Gothenburg.
Housing shortage: yes it's very real. Strict regulations about rented property severely limits the amount of property available for renting, and if you rent from a private landlord, mostly also puts limits on the amount of time you can rent. On the flip side, it's very quick and easy to buy. If you have the money, buying is the preferred option, and there's far more property available. Taxes: there's a personal allowance, just like in the UK, but it's much smaller at around 13500 SEK (£1,100). There's no personal NI. On the whole, I pay less taxes (income tax + NI) in the UK than in Sweden, but not by that much. On my entire annual income, I pay about 5-6% less taxes in the UK than in Sweden, so the difference isn't that great. Income tax in the Stockholm area (yes, it varies by council) is about 32%. In the UK it's 20% income tax PLUS another 12% national insurance, making it - 32%!. The difference in overall tax burden is mainly the personal allowance (the amount of income before you begin paying any taxes). And it wasn't that many years ago that the personal allowance in the UK was only about half of what it is now. Gender equality: It's all about sharing the burden. I don't even think about who does what as long as it gets done. When I go out for a dinner with my wife in Stockholm, I'm generally the one who pays. But the money generally comes out of our joint account anyway, so it really doesn't matter. We pool our resources. Personal number: the tax registration number, which comes in two flavours - a proper 'personal' number, which is for proper residents and makes life so much easier, and a 'coordination' number which is for everyone else who are tax registered in Sweden. Similar to the NI number in the UK and the tax registration number in most other countries. Getting an NI number in the UK if you're not born in the UK can be equally hard. Making friends: don't expect Swedes to reach out and make contact (much, at least). It's a cultural thing, based on respect for your own space. Instead, reach out and ask, and ye shall receive.
As a swede I think this summon up the moste? There is always pros and cons! I cant emphasis enough about getting a swedish personal number, if one want to live more then 90 days in our country! Its how things get going in sweden, cashless society, pay by card/swish/klarna, and to get those one have to get a swedish banc acount, to get this one have to get a personal number and a swedish ID card, its as simpel as that! One get that at "skatteverket" our tax agency! It says you is registrated to pay taxes in sweden! I read some months ago about that sweden expelld more UK and US citicens then then any other EU country? Probably moste of them on student visas, but in UK case probably some living here under the radar by EU rules befor Brexit? However, your mother is swedish, did she rewoke here citicenship in sweden? Becuse if she didnt, you can get a shortcut to a citicenship and another passport!
Hello! I am so glad you found this video useful and I'm glad I touched on some good things!😁 I will have to research the tax information definitely! I also think getting a personal number is the best thing! Yes my mother is Swedish and she is in the process of doing that. It's much more difficult now because of brexit🥴
@@fridawaywell Our tax agency (skatteverket) is those how keep the records, of who is living in our country, they pass this information to comunities and regions! Its kind of a nice "big brother"! Soo registrated at "Skatteverket" as living in sweden and on a residence permit for longer or shorter times make you get some time! However.. if you get your resident permit and a personal number, you shall aply for a swedish banc acount, on one of our big banks, they give you "mobile bank ID", swish, and there credit/debit card! Nice of your mother, but you can altso approch "skatteverket" to claim your swedish citicenship.. its this, she have to remember heres "personal number", then its esyer! We can talk about all the loopholes for not paying to much taxes in another video!
The taxes are more like 25%, theres also another fee based on youre income that youre employer pay but its not from youre salery.so, no way a regular dude pay 30-40% in taxes, it just dont happend. Having a buisness is a total different ballgame.
We don't like strangers. It's not personal. But if I haven't known you since we were kids, I don't want to be your friend. You could say that this is how we operate.
Doesn’t the UK have individual identification numbers? I know the US has social security numbers which is a bit of a misnomer because you need it for everything all through your life - not just to collect social security. Just realized that actually lol
We do have a National Insurance Number (N.I Number) here, but it's not needed for everything. You mainly just need it for things to do with money, you can't get a job without one but you don't need it to set up a bank account or rent a place.
I don’t get what you mean by winter being very dark? like darker than US dark😂? or you just mean the duration of darkness during the full day being mostly night time compared to daylight, I’m just confused sorry🙃
I’m from New Zealand but live in London (previously having lived in Australia, the US and Canada). We are now looking at moving to Sweden, specifically just outside of Stockholm. And I have enjoyed living in the U.K. and have made good friends and career advancement, BUT the things I can’t stand about the U.K. seem to be the things I like about Sweden. I.e. in the U.K. the tap water is disgusting, the pollution in London is awful, people littering and the streets are grubby and dirty in general. The “lad mentality” here is awful. Most men are sexist and don’t even realise it due to being raised that way. I notice it in my work and see the men climbing and supporting each other and the women largely are ignored. I’d never seen so many “lads night out”, “boys holiday” etc until I moved here. It’s shocking to someone not used to it. And that goes for the cat calling and language used towards women. And then don’t get me started on English food. It’s bad. Really bad. And as a vegan it’s awful. I have found there’s so much more variety in Sweden.
@@jmronolo615 you couldn’t be more wrong. But I understand why you’d think it. The uk is so much darker in their outlook, customs and culture. They’re not open minded. NZ being a country colonised by the UK and survivors of genocide, war and torture bucks against the crown and our colonisers and is anything but British. Geographically it’s almost as far removed as you can get and we embrace our Polynesian ancestry and culture.
@@P.E.J. Australia haves rich land and is one of the best in economies but even if u talk about Germany the taxes are lower there and there even more benefits then Sweden honestly Sweden isn’t the best anymore sadly
@@Emma2537ly and you do understand that in Germany all the wifes have to take care of household and children so thats why they dont need to pay for childcare - its a total different kind of society. In all countries where taxes are lower you have to pay for welfare youself when something happens like illness, accidents and universerty.
@@P.E.J.ummmmm I live In Germany and that’s not true 🤣don’t spread misinformation lol my boyfriend stayed for two years and got the first 14 month paid without having to go to work it’s called Elterngeld Elterngeld
Having lived in Stockholm, Sweden all my life, my advice to the rest of the world is that it is not a good idea to move here. It's cold, dark, boring and all personal information about you, where you live, grades, income will be public knowledge. Run away.
@@Emma2537ly Not true at all. Don't spread misinformation. Sweden is special when it comes to doxing its own citizens. My foreign colleagues were shocked when I told them how severely easy it is to know everything about a person in Sweden.
Intergration is a problem in Stockholm mainly. In Norrtälje that will be a lesser problem. Stockholm is not a representation of swedish mentality. I escaped the city because of the common anti-social behavior!
Helloooo!! I thought it’s be fun to share some pros and cons of living in Sweden!😁 let me know if you have anything else to add in the comments!

@@P.E.J.ummmmm I live In Germany and that’s not true 🤣don’t spread misinformation lol my boyfriend stayed for two years and got the first 14 month paid without having to go to work it’s called Elterngeld Elterngeld
You look very scandinavian :)
What are your business contact?
Hi,from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩
Having lived in Stockholm, Sweden all my life, my advice to the rest of the world is that it is not a good idea to move here. It's cold, dark, boring and all personal information about you, where you live, grades, income will be public knowledge. Run away.
It’s public everywhere
@@Emma2537ly Not true at all. Don't spread misinformation. Sweden is special when it comes to doxing its own citizens. My foreign colleagues were shocked when I told them how severely easy it is to know everything about a person in Sweden.
Vitamin d is good. I like to sit at home and listen to Fear of the dark by some blokes from Essex
Skövde ❤
Intergration is a problem in Stockholm mainly. In Norrtälje that will be a lesser problem. Stockholm is not a representation of swedish mentality. I escaped the city because of the common anti-social behavior!
I just want to find a toilet...that all
