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...

Country is kinda suckadelic if you don't have children, most of the money goes there one way or another, including the famous "pay you to study" part. But how did you end up on full tax, don't they run that "reduced tax for workers in need" scheme?

That is simply not true.

Healthcare and the elderly costs way more than "children"
