Beg your pardon? Have you seen the price of real estate/child care/energy/... in Europe?
- pavlov 3y agoI have two children. I live in Finland and previously we lived in New York. The cost of having and raising a child in Finland is minimal compared to the U.S.
- shakow 3y ago1. You're comparing with one of the most expensive city in the US; how would it be in e.g. Rapid City or Cincinnati? 2. That's cool for Finland, but Finland is not necessarily representative of Europe as a whole; 3. And even though, ‶better than the US for a someone who's socially high enough to be able to work in NY″ is probably not representative of the average Finn, and still does not make it ‶great″.
