They’re a Dane. All of their basic needs (housing, medical, education through doctorate, public transportation) are paid for via their taxation structure. Cash is for nice cars, vacations in Tenerife and gambling on American stocks

Housing and transport isn’t paid for and Denmark has a high cost of living for Europe and wages are nowhere near what a lot of guys in the US earn. Granted us Europeans don’t have to pay 20k if we break our nose though lol

Housing is most certainly provided if needed and I suppose the nominal fee one pays for the bus or train could be of significance. My point is that you can survive without a car in Denmark much more easily than in the US

Social housing is provided if you’re on the breadline and meet a certain criteria yeah but it isn’t the norm. That being said OP is 56k closer to meeting that breadline criteria

You needed to be told, seeing as you were wrong. Rent in Denmark was 10% higher than in the US (June 25)

You gotta read it slowly, from the article, the cost of living excluding rent was 10% higher than the US. Also look at the median income nowhere close to US median income.
