From anecdotal cases here in Sweden I can say that adjusting to a more "socialist" way of life is not always easy. Few American colleagues, all young healthy and unmarried, left after a few years because they couldn't handle the high taxes and more expensive prices. But as other have mentioned this is a very theoretical question. A software engineer will do just fine, like I did, while a restaurant worker might find it harder.
