Life in DENMARK - Pros and Cons (That People Don’t Tell You!)

5 great and 5 not so great things about living in Denmark.

MY BEST RECOMMENDATIONS:

BE MY FRIEND:

WHO AM I?
If we haven’t met before - Hey 👋 I’m Mario. I help people living in Denmark to achieve financial independence and live a great life. Aside from YouTubing I'm a manager in a big company, I wrote two books and have traveled to 140+ different countries.

As someone who wanting to go from the United states to Denmark for the longest time this has helped me so much

The weather would suit me down to the ground. Clouds and rain is wonderful. Just have proper cloths. No such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing.

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 :)

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 😄

Its More expensive in undeveloped or developing countries, the wages are so tiny because of corruption/ monopolies.( Im speaking from experience in Chile)

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!

I recall you saying in one of the videos that your wife is an expat too. It would be interesting to hear about her experiences as well!

Hi Mario I am looking for a rental room. Could you make a new video about that? Thanks!

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.

Great information 🤝🤝 best of luck brother

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

Thanks for the video. I'm impressed by good AI bots have become at constructing such scripts.

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?

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

[MegaMinerd]

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?

[Yunessa]

What about University students who planned to studies in Denmark?

What are the tips? What are the advice?

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.

Spent the past few days trying around ChatGPT so your final words totally got me. This is definitely an excellent tool for pre-scripting and trying ideas but in the end it will lack some « personal flavour ». Imo AI is/will be an excellent tool for creators, leaving more space for pure creativity as the annoying and time consuming parts of creative processes will be taken care of by AI.

Hi Mario. I live in Sweden and soon will study IT-security. Do you know if its a good market with IT jobs in Copenhagen
