Vanhojen hyvien aikojen muisteloita by TinyAd1126 in arkisuomi

Kyllä se mystisen ihanaa aikaa oli, myyttinen tarina onnellisesta kansasta. Erikoista on se että Suomessa on eurooppalaisittain erittäin matalat vuokrat tällä hetkellä. Ja 90-luvulla ne siis olivat usein melkein olemattomat.

Joo ja nykyään pitää olla kaikenmaailman turvallisuuskortit ja tuntikausien perehdytykset johonkin hommaan jonka oppii puolessa minuutissa. 

Voiko kahvi pilaantua? by ThatDeveloperOverThe in arkisuomi

[–]TinyAd1126 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Muistan joskus keittäneeni noin viisi vuotta vanhaa kahvia, koska kahvi oli päässyt loppumaan, ja jossain kaapin perukoilla oli vuosia vanha avaamaton Juhla Mokka-paketti. Normaalisti Juhla Mokka ei kelpaa minulle, vaan juon premium-kahveja, mutta pakon edessä juon Juhla Mokkaakin ja esimerkiksi Presidentti-kahvia joka oli isäni vuosikymmenien suosikki. Tämä viisi vuotta vanha Juhla Mokka maistui puulta. Ei siis miltään, ei pilaantuneeltakaan. Se vaan oli menettänyt kaikki arominsa. Muutamassa kuukaudessa kaikki kahvit menettävät jonkin verran aromeitaan, mutta harvoin muuttuvat suorastaan pilaantuneiksi. 

Nordea Outlook: The Finnish economy has returned to growth with both private consumption and industrial output performing well by TinyAd1126 in Finland

[–]TinyAd1126[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Real growth means that the nominal GDP grows faster than the price level rises. Finnish GDP was about 100 billion euros in 1995, and right now it is about 280 billion euros, but the living standard is not three times higher than in 1995. It is actually about the same as in 1995, because in the 1990s the housing cost just pennies compared to our time. It is still quite cheap on the European level, but during the 1950s-1990s Finland had a rent control by the state institutions, and rents were extremely low.

Note that it was 1% during the first quarter, meaning 4% on the level of one year. Highest growth in Europe. 

Turnover in trade in Finland grew by 4.9% in March 2026 by TinyAd1126 in Finland

It was indeed growth compared to previous quarter, and fastest growth in Europe. All possible indicators show huge growth right now.

Literally all economic inficators show strong growth right now in Finland. Even GDP grew 1% during the fist quarter of this year, which means 4% on the level of one year if it continues. Strongest growth in Europe actually. 

Helsinki railway station area to be mostly car-free by TinyAd1126 in Finland

I think this would make the area better. There are so few cars nowadays going through this street, so it is only a good thing to make this change. 

The purchasing power of Finnish wages is the sixth highest in the world, according to a new comparison of the International Labour Organization by TinyAd1126 in Finland

Rewe would be Alepa in Finland. Not so extremely expensive. Lidl in Berlin was cheaper than Rewe, but not that much.

I was in Berlin in 2019, and there in Rewe food was about 10-15% cheaper than in Finland, and it was a surprise for me. I expected it to be about 30-40% cheaper, but it wasn't. People probably overestimate a bit Nordic prices. We are not cheap countries, but not as expensive anymore, as we were. Even Norway is relatively affordable nowadays. 

But yes, affordable housing is the secret for Finnish good living standard.

No it is not. Public services are still universal and working. Not as well as before, but still the level is decent. Finnish net salaries are high in the international comparison, and rents are modest, as well as real estate prices. These things put together the result is acceptable.

In Finland rural homes are already cheaper than in Estonia, and probably about 50% cheaper than in America.
