Im sorry for venting, but as an Expat, Im feeling financially pressured in Denmark.
I have accepted a job offer Denmark and I have just realized that I may not save as much money as I though I would. I have a pay limit visa, meaning that its supposed that I would be making a decent salary, but...
47% A-tax on my incone
50% tax on my pension scheme
8% tax of labor market
20% of salary goes to my landlord , rent for expats are more expensive
25% of vat for every product that I acquire
As far as I have been realizing, the "lonely" tax here is very high as well.
I dont study, dont use the public healthcare, dont have kids, dont use public transportation and I wont retire here. Im basically a very lucrative person to the Danish Treasure.
How does a person saves money in Denmark ? Is this the reality of expats, singles and middle class?
Dont get me wrong. This is a dream of a country, but for someone who is not a citzen and intend to go back home one day, life is a little bit difficult...

What is your problem? You didn't do the most basic research on the tax system before moving here?
If you want to skimp out on supporting society go work in Dubai.
Yeah, that is funded by taxes and people sharing responsibility for our society.
Danes have some of the highest private saving rates of the world, it is very simple actually have a higher income than expenditure.
