Beware of double taxation. Uncle Sam wants tax of any income regardless of where you're living. Some US citizens who acquires citizenship of another wealthy country/state - ditches their US citizenship for that reason.
The weather is not an issue, it’s living with darkness, most people not used to it doesn’t understand how it effects your body not having any sunshine for months. And it’s not even bad in Denmark, millions live further north. Look how far north Scandinavia actually are compared to the Americas 😊
As a dane I would just point out that you can save a lot on rental if you are willing to live in Århus instead. They have just gone through a building boom and supply is higher than demand :)
Its More expensive in undeveloped or developing countries , the wages are so tiny because of corruption/ monopolies.( Im speaking from experience in Chile)
@@S-H-S fortunately the USA has had some strong antitrust laws which make competition,so lowers prices. But now that is going the other way and the USA could be turning into a monopoly/ oligarchy country. For example,in comparison to the wages here in Chile,a loaf of bread would cost 14 dollars in the NewYork state if New York had the same prices in comparison to Chile in wages and prices. Also a pizza would cost 120 dollars. Not many can afford anything here in Chile. People rack up credit cards . Its a failing country . I will mention that Chile has good infrastructure and is almost developed. So the problem is the large monopolistic state controlled by a few people
Love Denmark. Been to Copenhagen a couple of times and Aarhus. Very friendly, and still in touch with our orginal AirBnb host. Yes it's expensive to people coming from the UK with the worse exchange rate compared to pre-Brexit, but you can allow for that and adjust when visiting as a tourist. Wish we could find a way to move out there. I'm from the North East of England, so the weather isn't a con 😄
Good points. I've been to Denmark 7 times. I like it. Cold? Small job market? Sure, to an extent. Here in Reykjavik, Iceland the mean annual temperature is 5,3°C with summer high of +14° and winter of +3°. There are now over 220,000 working people and the population is crossing 400,000.
Well, here in France the cost of living is bloody high, especially in Paris. Taxes are very high too but, of course, we'll never have the same salaries as Denmark!
Everybody says denmark is expensive but it doesn't seem that way to me. The prices look the same like they were in england. And it has one of the best salary to prices ratio so i would say it is one of the cheapest if you work here
I would love Denmark; if not for the weather. I live in Oregon and I feel it is too cold and wet in winter, and lacks sunlight. I keep searching for a country with warm sunny weather, and good bicycle infrastructure.
A country with good weather and bicycle infrastructure is a tough one, there isnt really a country that has both. Denmark and Netherlands are the 2 best countries in the world for bicycles.
As Finn I always find it comical when people complain its dark and cold in a country like Denmark😆 to us its like the caribbeans. We had, where I live, permanent snow this winter since october until end of april. Sometimes for a week or two you have less than -30 celsius strait. We had huge snow fall and the sun is out for 4-5h a day. Id love to live in danish climate.
I have had such an easy time learning Danish, I feel I only struggle with the pronunciation. I don’t have any speech impediments but pronouncing the Ø is so difficult for me
My parents are trying to move the family to Denmark and I want to help them cuz I really want to live in Denmark and possibly live there for the rest of my life
I am a fan of government provided healthcare, as long as it’s good quality healthcare. I do however believe we should rethink calling it free since it is in your taxes. The average Dane spends 55-75% of his/her income on taxes. That is an insane amount compared to almost all countries. It might be included in that extremely high tax rate, but that healthcare is definitely not free. Awesome vu by the way. Thanks.

Hello everyone, I wanted to ask you, I live in Azerbaijan, I have two diplomas (bachelor’s and master’s), I’m 26, I want to move to Copenhagen, but I don’t speak the local language. I speak English, Russian, Azerbaijani and Turkish. Will I be able to validate here my diplomas or should I study again (is it possible to study for free?) or will I be able to work there without knowing the language at the first time? As i mentioned previously I'm 26, is it too late for immigration to Denmark to start my life from scratch?
Is it possible to acquire knowledge about economics, international politics and geography entirely in English in Denmark libraries, or is it necessary to know Danish for this knowledge?
Sir what about family. After how many years of your stay in Denmark will you be eligible for or get citizenship. And after you get the citizenship would your parents also get the citizenship and what should they do to get it.

@@dollydolly5668 I know a Syrian guy who was a refugee.

I'm an American who watched this video while walking for an hour round trip in 4° weather to/from a pharmacy that can't fill a necessary prescription because my insurance is 2 weeks late sending me a card. I have 0 doses left. I have 2 separate degrees but no one in my field will hire me. The program I'm enrolled in due to my (now unmedicated) disability is such that if I get a minimum wage job, it works out that I get *less* money because minimum wage is just that low. Where are the cons in this video?
personally gender bla bla equality has been mostly a powerplay in the west, it's generally discriminating against other certain groups. It's certainly NOT about who's competent but it's about who;s what colour, sexe or race. That's discrimination by definition, so I don't see that as a pro!

5-6 vacation weeks in DK are not "free" - 12,5% of any Danes's pay is "held back" - meaning that we pay for our own vacation .... 1/8 of our pay is paid out only when we we have our vacation .... It does not, financially, impact our enterprises at all ....
That sounds like an ideological description. It really has a lot to do with the culture. There is a small country vibe here but with a quite selfsecured sense of direction. The danish people trust in one another which breeds confidence. That why people without hesitance leave their babies outside, in Copenhagen, when they go for a coffee in a café. Thats why they trust that if someone is sitting next to them in a library, that person, will look after their stuff while they go to the toilet etc. Not many people are scared in general about walking the streets at night etc and even during a certain resent period that can hardly be mentioned on UA-cam the people were not that bothered about what was going on, although it did have an impact. I would say that individualism is also very much part of the story in Denmark. The people are less collective than in most places to the south of Denmark and especially if you go to Asia, south America etc. where family plays a much larger role in peoples lifes. Here friends and colleagues plays a large role and family not quite as much.
