Long, cold, dark winters. Expensive to live, but having attractive women. I expect the men spend most of their time shagging, not worrying about tax rates.

You've hit the nail on the head, I've always wondered why Scandanavian women are attractive, probably if they weren't they would have sat around lethargically worrying about high taxes and long dark nights and died out.

WHS, and I've heard that beer in Norway costs the equivalent of almost £10 per pint.

Yes. That's almost the same price as a pint in a fancy London gastro-pub.

I've worked in Oslo a few times. It's a very orderly, well run city. The Norwegians I worked with were pleasant and well educated and clearly enjoyed a good standard of living

..... however they spend most of their time complaining about how much everything costs and how much tax they pay.

It is eye-wateringly expensive.

Stuff you would expect to pay a fiver for in the UK, you are looking at 2 - 3 times the cost in Norway.

It's a wonder most Norwegians don't simply brew their own beer and wine, unless they're public spirited to the point of being simple minded!

FTFY

Thanks to the Baby boomer generation there is now plenty of rented accomodation so the younger generation can focus more on their playstations.

Have a nice day.

I hope they make the most of the opportunities that present themselves to the young.

High taxation in Norway

I'm in Iceland at the moment and the taxation here is the same as the Netto next door.

And boomer tossers invested it in BTL empires

Yes, they did and that money are not used to provide lower taxes, like say in Saudi Arabia

No, as you pointed out, they didn't p1$$ it up a wall.

They invested their income from oil.

And boomer tossers pissed ours up the wall.

Found their budget info -

Expenses

Operating costs: 109,355
Investments: 40,334
Transfers: 927,708
Lending and instalment: 2
Total costs: 1,202,683

Income

Operating income: 132,970
from investments: 16,179
Taxes and transfers: 928,248
Paybacks: 59,682
Total income:1,137,079

So they get 12-15% of budget income from investments, but they are also investing more than they gain from those investments.
