Unwise, unregulated privatisation and privatisation in general are two different things. Nothing more Swedish than automatically thinking state-, municipal- or county-run things function better (spoiler: they don't, especially not in education; private schools are the best schools in Sweden)

The darkness affects me more subconsciously- makes me sluggish and tired. It’s ok until about the middle of January. The housing situation is definitely tricky. I find one can live on a much lower salary than in America. The salary I am living on is what I was making 15 years ago in America before I was a nurse but somehow I get by pretty well. However it’s very difficult to save money I find. It feels like it’s hard to get ahead and save for a rainy day or for a down payment on an apartment. I want to buy a small apartment but it’s so hard to save the down payment with these salaries. Renting is much cheaper in Sweden than in the USA though. My apartment I live in now in Sweden would cost me 2.5 times more in my old city in Texas.and utilities in Texas are like half my rent here.

Highly recommend taking vitamin D and getting a sun lamp that helps you wake up in the morning. It helps me and I really hate the darkness. Because there is less snow in Malmö that may also make it worse. Snow helps lighten things up.

I struggled with the darkness in winter too until this year when I got some cheap full spectrum led lights for my flowers. They wake me up in the morning and the sluggishness is gone. And my plants are happy 😊

@@livb6945 I may have to do that too

I been curious about visiting that part of Europe actually. I have never been on the east side.

I think this is mostly true . There are a few exceptions

Fascinating! Yea the weather thing surprises a lot of people 😂

I was hoping that might be a possibility. I would love to experience traveling around and working in the other Scandinavian countries. I wonder if it works in Iceland too?

@@becurious2000 I assume it would since it’s supposed to be possible in all nordic countries.

Good question. I was never offered foreign language classes before the age of 13. I am sure it depends which school and where one lives. Most Americans I know that are 3rd generation or farther back American speak only 1 language. The most common language for people to learn in Texas is Mexican Spanish. However many language classes are a joke as many take the classes including myself and still cannot speak it. I took Spanish and French in high school. I did not have a good experience myself.

Not sure how common this is in general tbh. Its the main reason why many people are still very bad at English or don't even speak/understand it, they never got the chance to learn it. I learnt English back in the mid 90s. I later tried French but that was not for me. (I'm from Sweden) Not that many countries have English or any other languages available, sadly.

I have heard people tend to be more reserved in Stockholm than in say Malmö. It seems the farther north one goes, the quieter and more reserved people are. I found the Danish just across the water from me to be extremely outgoing just not like in Texas 😂 in regards to the attack , I am mostly recovered but when I hear people shouting abruptly in that language I feel a bit of panic. We have had police at my building 2 times since then for similar problems with other people and yesterday evening a young guy jumped out of a car and started screaming viciously at someone in another language. I felt my heart hit the ground and was ready for someone to pull out a gun. This neighborhood has become a little to exciting for me. I am planning on moving in the summer if I can find and apartment in a better neighborhood.Hopefully things will then calm down a bit 😅

@ZindraShamania Yes, I have the same problem accepting "the reserved Swedes" .... I am a Swede myself who just returned after living 30 years abroad. Having lived in cultures and countries around the globe where being sociable is seen as positive, I doubt I can ever accept the Swedish inward looking narrow mentality. Frankly speaking, I even find them to be "socially handicapped" which is not a nice thing to say, but when they time after time prove it to be the case, what else can I conclude? I wish I could move away again, but reality strikes, and I am stuck in Sweden for the foreseeable future. PS. Of course there ARE exceptions to the rule and I have obviously met a few Swedes who are different. I am aware I generalize greatly in my comment, because all cultures and upbringings has its own baggage, for better, or for worse, and it is the case in all cultures around the globe. For this reason there is no perfect place to live (yet at least).

@@ActualCounterfactual what countries have you lived in and which ones did you like the best and why? Yeah I also think Swedes in general are socially handicapped, lol! Except when drunk or abroad! Haha. And its not getting better either, general politeness is going away more and more with the "social media age" but people are still as reserved as before though. Not a good combination in my opinion...

@@becurious2000 yeah you have close to our neighbours in Denmark for sure. I havent been there in my adult years but should go sometime to check it out. Maybe go to Copenhagen in the summer. Good that you have at least calmed down a bit from it, I would also be shook by that. And yes, I would definitely recommend you move to a nicer neighbourhood or smaller town. As soon as you can. Because it is not gonna get better any time soon, I'll tell you that!

​@Shamania Too many to mention, but mainly lived in, Sweden, UK, Ireland, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Caribbean, Holland, Belgium, Israel/Palestine, Chile... what about yourself, where have you lived, where are you from and what's your favorite country/culture? All places I lived have good/bad points, some MAJORLY bad/good, and some just minor hiccups. But if I personally had unlimited money on my bank account, then I think I would settle in Nicaragua or Costa Rica.

Not gonna lie, I love Norway 😉

I have a sister i law who is a nurse (swedish) and worked for a time in Norway. The pay is much higher, but to tie in to another one of the reasons stated, nurses don´t get to do as advanced work as in Sweden. A lot of the skills performed by nurses in Sweden are doctor only in Norway. She loved the money, but was bored of the job, feeling overqualified if that makes sense. That on top of not being in the EU make the choice very reasonable. And I am saying that as a 50/50 swede/norwegian myself (although probably mostly swedish as this is where I live).

Been thinking of moving to Spain, not so sure I want to move to the southern part (I know andalusia is quite popular among western migrants).

Been more interested in the northern parts, shame that they seem to be the more expensive parts in terms of taxes (especially Catalonia).

@@becurious2000två universitetsstäder. Men det är stor skillnad på umeå och uppsala. Dels storleksmässigt men också klimatmässigt.

Interesting. When did this change start to happen? I have been in Sweden 2 and a half years and I can say nursing workload is way better compared to in America both in Texas and Alaska . I felt very unsafe as a nurse in America and many of my colleagues in the states have become disillusioned with nursing and gone into something completely different. I have heard this tends to be the general consensus in most countries around the world, not sure why. If the workload is worse nowadays in Sweden, it must have been a really good work environment back in the day. 😊

I believe when we say that the workload is bad it depends on where you work. I believe that the emergency nurses in big cities have a harder workload tham most. We also compare with other Nordic and European countries, and other linens of work, not US nursing when we say complain.

What are you talking about? Not a single one of the Swedish political parties are opposed to the Swedish healthcare system. The gov also don’t control healthcare or fund it so they can’t make cuts. The regions who control healthcare have been spending money on vanity projects instead of financing essential services. Now they are demanding more money but they have not looked into how they could trim their own organizations. Why do you have to lie?

​@@becurious2000 i studied and worked as a nursestudent&subnurse And also studied political science in Sweden, things started falling apart after we adopted a New Public Management approach to healthcare along with general decentralisation. This was around early 90s Glad to have you here ❤

Wow. Yea the heat has a similar effect on me and yes Skåne does seem to one of the most outgoing areas of Sweden along with göteborg.

I do now. Life has gotten so much better with it. And paying taxes is so much easier than in the USA . I dread filling taxes every year in the USA even though I don’t work there I still have to file every year till I die.

Interesting. I know in America, those that get two weeks vacation can trade in their time at 80% for cash which many do sadly as they need the money 😢. I know I did that a couple times myself back in the day. How much is minimum wage in Sweden by the way? I have not checked. I know my first job as an undersköterska in home health I was getting 15000 kronor per month before tax . I assume that’s minimum? In Texas I believe minimum wage is about 80 kronor per hour last time I checked before tax and vacation is not guaranteed and no healthcare benefits either. Waiters get 25 kronor per hour plus tips which vary.

Yes, same in Sweden. It's what I do too. I don't even have a driver's licence, it's too expensive for me.@@becurious2000

That’s a really good question and hard to answer. The salaries are extremely low. The salary for a doctor is like half or even less than that as in America. I know money is not everything but many doctors owe 100s of thousands in student loans. It would be hard to pay off if you live in Sweden. I might would consider Switzerland but it’s not in the EU and becoming a citizen is almost impossible. Another option could be Germany or Canada. There is the option of working as a travel doctor and take short contracts. Then buy an apartment in Sweden and live there in between contracts. Our US pass port allows us to live in Sweden 3 months every 6 months without a visa.

@@becurious2000 I am a doctor outside of US and EU, I want to take specialty training in the US or EU ( in EU my first choice is Sweden second Germany but easiest one is UK bcs of not having a language barrier. But honestly I didn’t want to spend my entire life in one country. I would like to have short contracts in multiple countries but I couldn’t decide which combination would be the most beneficial. I’m still thinking, but once I visited Stockholm couple of months ago, I couldn’t forget its nature and beauty. I also love the Swedish language a lot. Any advice for me if I am not asking too much. I want it like half of the year intense working and than chilling to the fullest in another country.

It is interesting to see some similarities between Sweden and the USA. We have a similar problem with criminals attacking healthcare workers. I have lost several nurse colleagues that were shot to death in the USA. We now have active shooter training courses for nurses in Texas to train us nurses about what to do if someone comes in with a gun. Health care workers are under protected in the US. I myself was attacked several times by violent patients, most who abused drugs like meth. One tried to break my arm. We had gang members come into the hospital in the ICU I worked to try to "finish the job" and kill off patients. We also have serious problems with really bad children in school. I feel sorry for the teachers. They have their hands tied. Now with gun violence in the schools becoming common place, teaching and being a student is dangerous. My parents took me out of school when I was 12 and put me in homeschool because the conditions were getting so bad at the school I went to in my small town.

Thanks ! Yea. It is interesting how nationalism and politics is ubiquitous in America. I remember for example, last time I was there. I walked out of a restaurant with some friends and som jets took off over us pretty close to the ground doing some exercises and a bunch of people started hooting and hollering shouting "America!".... and another guy was like "that's the sound of freedom baby!" Its definitely a very different culture compared to here in Sweden. In regards to the badge, I want to say it is white with red letters. Ill have to give it a closer look Monday as I don't have it with me at the moment. I have not paid super close attention to it. I heard we are in transition to get new tags soon. I seen some orange ones lately. I think they are rolling them out in phases.

@@becurious2000 yeah, stateside.

@@groovelife415 man that’s rough 😢

@@becurious2000 it really is. You can only take a day or two at a time. I ended 2023 with 32 hours of PTO left on the table that vanished as soon as 2024 hit. If I took more PTO than I did, I would be in the unemployment line. The burnout is real in this field.

@@groovelife415 I am sorry but not shocked sadly . I tried to ask off 7 days months in advance to go to Hawaii and next thing I knew I was in my bosses office discussing if I wanted to keep my job. It was my first nursing job in America in the ICU. If anyone needs a break it’s nurses. You don’t want burnt out nurses taking care of people… kind of dangerous.

😂 ya know. That’s the beauty of us humans…. There are so many types. There is something for everyone.

Welcome! Where you be moving too in the US?

@@becurious2000 New York at least initially. It's somewhat hard for me motivating staying in Sweden given that the salaries in my field is so incredibly low compared to the US, even when considering living expenses, especially when I don't have any real sentimental feelings about this country.

😂 thanks

I respect that and understand. I think the problem becomes if you still have close family in your home land like in my case. Stuff happens and sometimes you have to go back to care for your parents or other loved ones. The other problem is you risk losing all those years of pension you paid into in the home land and will be financially destitute in Sweden when you retire as is the case for a few of my colleagues at the hospital since they moved to Sweden in their 30-40s . The pension they will receive is unsustainable as it’s based on only what you made in Sweden which seems fair as long as you can retain your previous citizenship and claim the hard pension you paid into all those years. One other aspect to consider is especially coming from America, to revoke my American citizenship could be quite upsetting and offensive to family and friends in America. There is a lot of pride in being an American for many there and many have work very hard to come to America. There are also probably more swedes with both American and Swedish citizenship than the other way around.

@@becurious2000 I get your point but why not have a work visa permit? Having a dual citizenship is a conflict of interest in my book and will you stay and fight russia if it comes to that? ,or just leave and come back when it's over. Dual citizenship should not be allowed anywhere Swedes included.

Oh and forgot to say dual citizenships should not be allowed to vote for obivous reasons.

But also welcome to Swedes hope you like it here👍

That does sound strange

Yet we have people that claim to flee something and then once they get citizenship, they go on holiday to the same country they claimed they fled from. That's totally fine for some reason.

😂

@@becurious2000 funnyman ?

You are right that it can reach 30. 30 is tolerable compared to 45 for many days in a row. I bought a portable ac unit for my bedroom. I did not need it last summer at all but I used it the first two summers.

I wouldn’t say that it comes easily though. It does happen but ~25 is more common and even that is hot

@@becurious2000 Doubt you need an AC at all in Sweden, my town (located in småland) at most had a bit over 30C and that was during a heat wave that we had in Europe (during that time, it was well over 40C in many parts of central/southern Europe). If you really need something, you can ghetto together a swamp cooler. Ive done something similar with fans and wet sponges, worked well enough for the heat.

@@SvengelskaBlondie nice. Yea I have one of those cheap roll around ones you pipe out the window if it gets especially warm. I have trouble sleeping when it gets warm

Yea? Amy resdons in particular ?

True with a twist. I had paid taxes a year and still had no benefits. Once I got my personnummer after living here almost two years then I had access to benefits like healthcare. I think where it gets muddy is for those of us from outside the EU like myself.

😂

Yea?

I was shocked to find out how many carry guns even in places I think are “sacred” like hospitals and churches. I had a friend who is a nurse who came to my house to discuss something work related. After he was there a few minutes, he stood up to rearrange his pants as he was a bigger guy and was a bit uncomfortable. When he did that, I saw his gun on his belt under his shirt. I was a bit offended that he came into my house as a guest and had a gun on himself. He also has a family history of mental illness and suicide. Scared me pretty bad. He never was invited in my house again though I never felt comfortable saying anything to him about it.

@@becurious2000 Damn man thats scary :/ Just a regular day and you accidentally walk infront of the wrong person in queue and he just pulls a Glock on you. Scary stuff indeed.

I get where you are coming from. I hate to talk bad about my own country of the USA, but I see the same issues there unfortunately but at a much higher rate. I pay only 5 percent more tax in Sweden than I did in Texas but it cost so much less for me to live here. I have counted up the cost of having the same things in Texas that I have in Sweden and the cost would be about 2.5 times higher in Texas. One example, my rent in Sweden is 780 dollars a month but the same apartment in Texas would cost me about 1200 dollars a month. I would have to purchase health insurance and still be responsible for a good chunk of the health care cost, usually about 10 percent. College is outrageously expensive. My colleagues paid between 40,000-100,000 dollars for their nursing education. I have to have a car in Texas and drive a lot which is another big chunk of change. I lived in a "good neighborhood" in Texas but in a three month period we had 2 drug deals gone bad which led to the Mexican gang members driving through my neighborhood shooting guns at the houses all down the street. I think there is an increase in these problems all over the world nowadays. I myself was a victim of gun violence in Texas by a young 17 year old who was on meth.

@@becurious2000 i pay 50% marginal tax. Is the tax in Texas 45%? I guess your tax brackets are different. I Know people working in parts of the US where the tax is 30%, and the salary for a Job in sought after industries is twice that in Sweden. I guess it depends on what job you do and where in the US you compare with.

@@becurious2000 once you get a Swedish citizenship you got a free pass to all of EU. So yeah won't be much of a problem to move there afterwards.

Then move to a shack in the woods.. any larger city in 2024 is multicultural, which has many benefits as well. Yes there are challenges, but no you do not notice when walking around Malmö. Tour closet racism seems dumb to me

@@thomashpfner-dahl1433There has been 0 benefits to have a multi cultural society. Criminality has skyrocketed, rape stats is now the highest in Europe, we have shootings every day, explosions are happening quite frequently now. Our society was superior as a aryan and pure society. It was safe and calm.

I have noticed it depends on the neighborhood. I actually have come across quite a few native English speakers in my neighborhood mostly from Canada and the USA.

Hopefully it gets better 🙏🏻

Funny you mention learning Arabic. I am actually considering it. We have so many patients who speak only Arabic. Quite a few of my friends in health care speak Arabic in addition to Swedish and English. It could be useful. I learned a bit of Vietnamese when I was in Texas. It was always funny because I could hear Vietnamese talking about me or other people and then I would just say something in Vietnamese and they would get really quiet or embarrassed lol.

Good God why are some people upset when others get health care???? So jealous and mean. The U S. Is disgusting with health care. I haven't been able to see a doctor in years. Last time I did I was so sick I couldn't take it anymore. I was in urgent care barley 2 hours and got over a 2,000 bill! Oh yeah I have a full time job and insurance from ot. Basically I pay 71.00 a check for nothing. 3,000 deductible. How the hell is that fair? I work hard , pay taxes and get nothing. The I strange companies and hospitals make billions but never pass it on to customers. Greedy pigs

That was the most stupid comment ever seen. To pay tax is better than insurace because you always get what you pay for. You pay tax for your whole life, start as a kid your parents pai and you get free dental, free healtcare, free school and ”barnbidrag”. Then as an adult you start with not using what you paid for some years . All of a sudden you have a family and starts to cash in a lot of that money for the kids, kindergarten, barbidrag, healhtcare that is totally free up t 18 years, also maternety and paternetyleave, paid leave when your kids are sick and so on. Everyone that is staying legally in sweden and paying tax can use these things. When you are using the benefits someone else is paying for you, all swedes are treated the same and all swedes contribute to the system, the thing is to take care of each other, to care and not leaving someone behind. If we do not take care of each other we can not have a good society with good and wellpaid jobs. We wood not have so many innovations and good companies.

He’s not though. He’s in the system, paying taxes, rent/mortgage, buying food and clothes and everything else needed in life, he’s part of keeping the society going. Not to mention his line of work is an incredibly important one. You’re barking up the wrong tree here. There are people/groups using the system wrongfully, he’s not one of them. This is exactly how to be in it properly.

It’s not an insurance system though since there is no connection between what you pay in taxes and the coverage/care you get. Also, there is no way to opt out of it (or, the taxes.) Still, Sweden spends about half as much on healthcare as a share of GDP as the USA, so it’s much much more slimmed down.

I understand where you’re coming from. There are a few points I would like to add. Even though I had very “good” insurance in America which I paid a lot for, it still cost a lot. For example, I had been to the Emergency room in the very hospital I worked 3 times. Each time I was there less than 6 hours. Each time I received no more than 1 liter of fluid , a couple blood test, EKG, and a doctor visit. After insurance paid their part, I still had to pay at least 700 dollars or about 7000 kronor. Insurance does not pay for helicopter or ambulance rides. Ambulance rides can cost 5000 dollars last time I checked and I have heard helicopter rides can cost 30,000 dollars. My MRI cost me 900 dollars even though I had insurance. The American system and Swedish system are like apples and oranges. A second thing to think about is it seems ironic that I would come to Sweden to take care of the very same Swedish older folk we are talking about as a nurse and not have health care myself. I know from experience that I was working a whole year and paying taxes. I worked very hard in home health which is a very underpaid and underserved area. I had no health care rights and was very sick. I know the Swedish are very good about wanting all to be treated fairly but this was one area where I felt unfairly treated. I remember having to take care of very large patients and I started having back problems because of it but I had no right to health care. If I have no right to health care as a caregiver, then how can I be at my best as a healthcare worker and really give 100 percent to my patients. However I do see your point. There are many who abuse the system in both America and Sweden not just among immigrants but also among those born in these countries. I am not sure if I know a good solution to that problem.
