It's more correct to also add the VAT as it's added to everything you buy. Which means of the 70% you are free to spend as you please the government will take 25% on most goods and services (15% for food). And lets not forget about fees, although they are a bit easier to tailor your consumption to avoid it. There's fees on alcohol, tobacco, fossilfuel, etc... Norway is the 8th most expensive country to live in Most people in Norway does in fact have a student loan. 1/5 of the population are registered at lånekassen, which means they are either paying or have debt. 2/5 of the population are either to young to have a student loan or likely to have paid it off (older than 67). The average debt at lånekassen for 2023 is close to 400k. That means that 1/3 of the population in working age has a debt of, on average, 400k. Norway are the country with the 4th highest indebted population. The increased government spending and the increasingly higher demands of a spoiled population means that unless other sources of income is added, the Norwegian economy will crash hard.
BS! Norway has high taxes on pretty much everything with among the highest levels of household debt in the world. And the NOK is the weakest currency in the West. Norwegians are struggling. Being cursed by oil and governed by incompetent loons is not a global phenomena. In Europe, it's pretty unique to Norway.

Norway remains among the poorest nations in Europe in pretty much every respect that matters.

A crude extractive economy lacking sufficient diversity therefore skills to be functional. A petrostate cursed by oil and greed. I pity the average Norwegian. Take key workers in society, like teachers and nurses, for example. They earn less than some of their European counterparts and not much more than most, yet the cost of living in Norway is 2-3 time more and has been an issue promoting poverty for years, not just the last few.

It's not frugality or wise investing in society. It's the complete opposite. Compulsive greed and divesting from society. Successive Norway government incompetence expressing the ethics of vikings and heroin dealers.
Mining Norway’s seabed raises some concerning questions. While it’s a significant technological advancement, we mustn’t overlook the potential impact on marine life, which is crucial for our ecosystem. It’s disheartening to see financial gain often taking precedence over environmental protection.
I'm Norwegian as well, and I recognize some of the issues presented here. However, I don't think it's necessary to paint our future so bleakly. Yes, we are suffering from the same problems elsewhere in the West, which mostly stem from postmodern/Marxist ideas. However, I believe we will solve these issues in time. The future looks bright, people.
Norway is suffering from poor leadership whom selling out cheap energy to their to overlords in Brussels. Norway who became a slave of the EU is more like a German colony now. Norway must leave the EES and join UK. Freedom is way more important than anything else in this world.
What is this weirdness? Quality of life is great compared to most other countries! "Will never succeeed..."? Is there a finishing line anywhere? This is clearly a Russian propaganda video 😅 And ALL wealthy countries are facing demographic problems.
Ja, kanskje det. Men les avisene så ser du at Norge har et ufortjent godt rykte. Det er ikke russisk propaganda når eieren er norsk. Og slike usaklige beskyldninger vil vi ikke ha på denne kanalen, da holder du deg vekke fra nå av.

As a Norwegian i would say this is a very narrow view of the situation and fails to point out the actual issues Norway is facing. The demographic issues of declining birthrates is far less of an issue in Norway than other western countries. The whole reason why we have the 1.5 trillion dollar government pension fund is so we can subsidize pensions as the workforce becomes to small to provide for the elderly (no other western country has anything close to a pension fund worth 3 times their GDP). As for the minerals, i believe most of them were found on land and the actual issue was how deep those deposits were located (requiring a lot of investment). Although the state of the Norwegian economy has been good according to GDP statistics due to oil revenues. Its actually been getting worse for most people since the pandemic. However, many economists in Norway are now predicting an economic golden age in the late 2020s. Well see if this is true or not when we get there. Although the seabed mining is worrying, i didn't know about that and its concerning considering seafood is Norways second biggest exports. Lastly, i think overall Norway is doing better than most western countries and i think its a reach to say Norway is doomed. If your looking for doomed then i have a certain country across the sea from Norway in mind. (no offense)
Thanks for your opinion. Unfortunately the scriptwriter failed a lot with this video. Also we cannot cover everything in one video. And as a Norwegian you also know that it was Erna Solberg who first told us to get more children. And from a nature perspective, I hope we do get fewer children, all over. Instead, adopt. Nevertheless, times are changing, and we cannot keep it as it always have been. The seabed mining has been a huge source of critism. Petroleumtilsynet har endret navn til havindustritilsynet, og flere politikere har gått hardt til verks for å få dette gjennom. If its ever happening within a Norwegian borders remains to be seen. They are stressing this because we need to find the new oil to fund the pension fund after the oil is gone. Unfortunately the scriptwriter didnt didnt catch what we wanted with this video. But as a Norwegian, you know we arent doing very well within many areas like in school, raising our kids to handle life, taking care of the sick and or elderly, healthcare in general etc. And the sea food is concerning indeed. But of all of this is for another video(s). I appreciate your opinion, but this was never a video supposed to compare Norway to other countries. Given our wealth we should have been much better taking care of a lot of things. Like not let people go hungry etc. . Those issues will be for upcoming videos. I have never talked to anyone who think Norway is going the right way anymore. And I am sick of all the videos who paints a fairytale of Norway. But we will try to keep one topic for each video.
Low birth rate is a symptom of a dying society, its nothing positive about it. The western world certainly do not need low birth rate to add to all the problems. We are pressured on all sides. Have more children people. Same goes for me as well as you, we can't solve these problems alone.
I don't think we will try to find minerals on the seabed. We have found phosphate in southern Norway. It's actually double the worlds phosphate ressorse.. And we need it outside China... Europe need this.. Its actually more worth than our oil and gas values...If we do the same with the phosphate as we have done with the oil and gas, its easy.. We have most tunnels in the world, so we know how to get it...
Biggest VAT rate in Eu have (Hungary 27%), (Norway, Croatia,Sweden and Denmark 25%) , (Greece and Finland 24%, ), (Poland, Portugal and Ireland 23%)...
Norway is headed for economic disaster in a few years, as the income from the oil and gas industry is steadily declining. Very little private capital left in the country, and the industry is largely based on raw materials and not very diversified. The purchase power has declined rapidly with a severely weakened currency, and average household debt is the highest in the world relative to income (just check official OECD statistics). Norwegians are not wealthy at all, but the state is, and the progressive tax rates makes sure that the average citizen will never be financially independent. Norway is also rated among the worst countries for expats, and I assume the limited career opportunities along with the low salaries for the educated workforce are major factors. As a Norwegian, I pay 60% of my income in taxes, and I can confirm that the sales tax is 25%. Public spending per capita is twice as high per capita compared to the other Nordic countries, which is just not sustainable. I am planning on leaving Norway, despite being born here and having spent most of my life here, and I will never return.
Income tax and yearly tax on my retirement savings (yes, there is a thing called "wealth tax"). VAT, and all other types of taxes are in addition. When you add it all up is is probably more like 70-80%. Thousands of people have left the country during the last few years.
It is a common myth and misconception that Norway only got rich in the 1960s because of the oil. In fact, in the 1930s Norway was already had one of the highest GDP per capita in all of Europe. Secondly, most of the negative factors you mentioned are true for all developed nations as well. @@uncover_with_Dawn
