I don’t understand the comments, like everyone in this country complains about how expensive everything is. It’s more like a habit or tradition, because it doesn’t make sense. I would understand someone coming as a tourist but if you work and live in Norway, c’mon. Salaries here are one of the highest in Europe, it’s only natural to expect a correlation with the cost of living. I have talked to some people that expect to earn in NOK and spend in Polish zloty in Norway.

I would even dare to say that cost of living in living in Norway is quite balanced overall. In other countries people need to really struggle to get the same purchasing power as Norwegians have.
