I rent a small room in a shitty neighborhood (3200 SEK a month) and have no kids. Stockholm is kinda expensive to live in but I expect the education and subsequent job opportunities to make up for it.
[Looks up SEK exchange rate] Well, 8000 SEK doesn’t sound like that much, after all.
For comparison, Julia Wise and Jeff Kaufman spend $22K/year (i.e. 12000 SEK/month, 6000 each), and I guess it’s cheaper to be a couple than two single individuals. (FWIW, I spend about as much as each of them, but I live in Italy—it would have been very hard for me to live on that little in Ireland.)
It also depends, among other things, on where you live and whether you have children.
