The rent in Helsinki is so crazy, so that's why I bought my apartment on my own when I was 25 years old, for the same apartment I live in, the rent is 20-30% higher than what I pay to the bank and maintenance each month. And the price of apartment is rising, it is good investment.

Thanks for the video, Aleksi! Very good insights. Compared to Romania most of the costs are 10x higher in Finland except for the groceries. I also shop at Lidl pretty basic stuff for about 150euros/month/person. This is something I noticed while visiting other countries in Western Europe that groceries prices are higher in Romania even thought the average national salary is 10x lower than Finland. Quite a discrepancy.

Very interesting when compared to US. We have one expense that many don't have- our cars and trucks. Not only do you have to pay for but also gas, insurance and maintenance. Our electricity cost are higher and phone and internet is higher as well. Food and entertainment is probably less expensive than Finland. Most (90%) of the people I work with own their own homes. Here, it is cheaper to buy than to rent. So, there is always a trade off.

@sharko punch you’re welcome! What I think is worth mentioning, is that investing nowadays is beyond the borders and can be easily done from one’s laptop. I think it’s better to do it in the language that you feel comfortable in. Being in Finland doesn’t mean that you need to limit yourself to the options available in Finnish language, especially if it is not necessarily clear to you (as it is not clear for me, at least yet). Good luck :)

Wow. That's a pretty uneventful (if not borring) life... And looks like prices have doubled since 2020. I pay almost the same rent for apartment in Espoo and electricity bill is 45-50 per month! Most of the gym are around 50-60 euro (More if you like crossfit or something more specific). Food and household stuff is 400 min for one person. Not including alcohol which is rather expensive. Normal wine starts from 15 (not everyone can drink beer). Latte/Capuchino (small or medium) in any cafe is 4-5 euro. Internet 15 euro per month if you lucky but for forigners it's hard to get a cheep subscription so it's closer to 25. Same with the cell phone. So yeah, info in the video was sort of useful, just multiply the cost by 1.5 at least. Saving 700 euro each month sounds more like a dream :(

He doesn't drink coffee. But the prices vary wildly depending on the practices. As you said, café coffees are expensive but lunch restaurants often have coffee as dessert for cheaper. All my employers have also had a coffee machine or three in the office. In university my student org and the faculty common area both had coffee machines available to use for very cheap. But if you're staying for longer, a coffee machine is a good investment.

Finland is cheaper than Italy because in Italy you have a miserable salary like (1300 euros for a software engineer with master degree) and rent is 500 euro/m in a 20 meter square apartment far from centre and in a little city + 180 euro/m for water, methane and warming + 40 euro/m. So you spend about 700 euro for month but your miserable italian salary is about 1300 euro for high skilled job. The salary for a low skilled job can be 800/900 euro for month. Food cost minimum 100 euro for month if you go to Lidl but other supermarkets you can spend twice. So Finland is way more better than Italy to live in !!

A car is absolutely unnecessary, especially in Helsinki. It's a huge money hole. The public transportation is all I need.

It worth to go if you are a business type of man and u make more than 1500 a month but if you have no higher education it doesn't make much sense to live in other countries if u already living in any european country. . And of course it's still fun to try but not for the money. 😅

1:59 Apartment is 23 square metres or 248 square feet. All Americans and Canadians and Mexicans just left the chat. That is a closet. You have no idea how poorly you live. My apartment is 1000€ for 125 sq metres. No reason to pay the same for only my smallest bedroom of my 2 bedroom flat.

Can you move up north of Finland buy land build a log cabin and live in the woods cheaper.? Especially since you pay all that money for only a crappy 250 square foot apartment I thought only gypsy live in those things 600 eruos expensive for that maybe goverment pay for it for you so it’s free for you in socialist county but they give your garbage 250 square foot apartment at least it’s free better then live in tent city USA.
