For a European country like Scandinavia, 48K a year isn't bad at all. Consider social security, cheaper food, virtually no expensive student loans, less stressful life, great educational system and what not. Here in Serbia, many people work for $350 *a month* ! We here see Scandinavian countries as a future place to live in, since we know how extremely hard it is to live in Serbia, despite knowing that people here are warm, positive and the mentality is all around different (the Balkans in a nutshell). :) Ask anyone here who lives/has lived in Serbia to tell his/her story about what life was like in that small country.

@Kilo Byte the interest on student loans is smaller than the inflation rate. The slower you pay the loan, the less you pay in real money. Especially when people usually earn more when they advance on their career. Banks are happy to provide these loans, since they're backed by the government. People also rarely leave their students loan unpaid, thanks to the lenient payback plans, bonuses if you graduate on time and the fact that it's much better to owe money to a bank than the government.

I really think it is a blessing living in Finland. I live in the countryside of Finland. I work as a practical nurse and on a side I have my own forest farm witch makes me some extra money. As a practical nurse I make about 30K euros yearly (before taxes) and I live nicely in my own house and over 30ha property. On the contrary living on a rural part of Finland means I have to have my own car, distanses are long and shops etc far away. I was 24 when buing my first house/property (without loan, using only savings), witch cost about 70K, so living outside of Helsinki is much cheaper on a way. Now I am 26 years old having two farms, two jobs (practical nurse and entrepreneur) with fiance and a lot of pets. No need for loans, I can save around 500€-2000€ every month. I usually make around 1500€-2500€ after taxes monthly. I really think living in Finland is a blessing, no need to worry about money.

This is a great example of a sensible and pretty well-planned family with 2 incomes and only 1 kid, in the capital city where services make life more convenient (you can live without a car and plenty of housing options) and there are plenty of jobs available. However if you're not a native Finn, it would be a totally different story. The cultural barrier is high. Finland is a small country with a small population. The sense of community is strong, the language is EXTREMELY difficult to learn. You will probably find difficulty in finding a job, or to rent/buy an apartment. Starting next year 2020, people with a passport outside of the EU need to apply for a license to buy house in Finland, for example. Secondly, the economy is not doing well, and it's a small economy to begin with. Government has been cutting budget in many places and social security has been compromised to a certain degree ever since. Salary is stalled, tax is still high, public health care is slow and definitely sub-bar compared to private (with all the high tax and you still have to go to private clinic). So just to be clear, I am not bashing Finland but as you all know, there is no such thing as a free lunch, there is always a catch.

2:35 I think that's similar to the affordable housing system the United States has. In the US (I don't know if it's still in place,) but it used to be that if you have 20% the worth of a home the government will back your loan (meaning if you default it'll give the bank money.) This makes it much more likely that a bank will give you a loan. The only condition is that your home is under $200,000.

It is standard in the US to attend the best university that has accepted you which usually involves moving hundreds if not thousands of miles, but when the idea of going overseas for those same studies with fewer costs comes up, young people don't really even consider it. I'm Estonian myself (80 kilometers south of Finland across the gulf) and just started an English-based masters programme for Quantitative Economics where within the last 3 years, our curriculum has had just 1 US student.
