Taxes really screw up the prices, but at least Sweden public services are good. In my country we waste up to 45% of our income in taxes and get one of the worst public services of all Latin America. I would rather get no social security and pay only 15-20% of my income.
Could you guys tell me the ratio of taxes/income in Sweden?

but then you have the most gorgeous people on earth running around in swimsuits all the time....i would switch with you in a heartbeat....

on topic: nowadays the euro is strong. it used to be weak. please do the same calculation with a reversed exchange rate and then stop crying. how much does bread cost in sweden? how much beeer (hehehehe)? due to the high exchange rate everything is more expensive. tough luck.

You EARN MORE and you PAY MORE. thats it.


 

Actually they don't use Euros in Sweden. If you want to use the "correct" exchange rate (meaning, which would be the balanced ratio) between EUR -> USD would be 1 EUR = 1,20 USD.
  

oops, got me there. that might explain the price difference between finnland and sweden. anyways, same story, different currency. since the euro is so strong due to the weakness of the dollar, i guess swedish currency had the same trend.

rather than looking at a exchange rate I would like to know things like average income, average price of consumer articles (you have a "product basket" for statistical purposes?)
