Re: Gas Prices
HI!
In Norway the average industrial worker wages abt. 40 K - 50 K US$
A regular industrial worker, after building a house, getting the car they need, and maybe some kids, and then maybe once every year or so, taking them for a holiday trip , will not be able to save up very much.
However the schhols are free, the healtcare is free, but if you have some kind of healtcare problem you will have to wait in line to get for example an surgery for maybe years if it isnt life threatning.
Some political parties say they want to change some of the tax stuff, but i have my doubts, on the regular salary you have abt. 35 - 45 % tax, on every last thing you buy, there is always a standard fee to the government on 24 % on all things that can be bougth and sold.
In the citys people live in apartments in big houses with lots of them, but just a bit outside the citys, most of the people have their own houses.
I am lucky enough to have done some right things concerning money, investments etc, so i am not complaining, but for the man on the street that has a regular 9 - 5 job. things could be better.
The banks, and credit institutions here wants something between 7 - 9,5 % interest when you want to make a loan for a house, or a new car.
Anyways, just some info on Norway.
