kqbo3l3Short answer is yes.
Living, anywhere except the 5 largest cities, you will be able to afford a used but decent car, nice 2 room apartment and eat healthy every day.
Health insurance is covered by taxes with no deductibles.
McDonald’s in Denmark also has solid career development opportunities for people working full time.

kqc4w12For context, Denmark is geared towards both parents working. It's hard to support a family on a single wage here. But 2 parents working on mc Donald wage can afford a 4 room appartment in Copenhagen and feed their kids

kqdjmnya 4 room???? Where do you have your data from
ipomopsis at 2024-02-14 05:46:34+00:00 ID:
kqclb48Any Americans reading this- in Denmark we count total “living” rooms. This is not a 4 bedroom apt, it’s literally 4 rooms. Living room, dining room, 2 bedrooms (kitchen and bath aren’t part of the count.) Laundry is either communal or in the kitchen or bathroom.

kqcs3q2Which we really should change. Makes absolutely no sense to me
Jondare at 2024-02-14 07:22:27+00:00 ID:
kqcu49lI'd rather everyone else change, our way makes much more sense and gives much more information. A 2 bedroom apartment can technically have literally any amount of extra rooms, where as you know exactly how many rooms a danish 4 room apartment has - hint, it's 4! Not to mention how fluid bedrooms can often be. Sure sole rooms can't easily be used as one, but most can, and all bedrooms can definitely be used for offices or such.
Igotanewpen at 2024-02-14 12:12:12+00:00 ID:
kqdhwubIn Britain the estate agent will say a house has X number of bedrooms and then when you go see the house it is very common that one of the "bedrooms" is too small to fit a bed in there. I don't know why the estate agents love to waste their own and the customer's time.
"But you can use it as a study". Twats!

kqd7holOnly reason I want it to change is that I hate 1 room apartments, should be outlawd beside anything but dorms

kqe53w7And WEF wants us to live in a single room cube apartment by 2030, in a SMAAAART CITY, where they can have a chain around our necks, and the camera up our ass, “for being the filthy eaters, who are too expensive to maintain”, meanwhile they have made committees, there who have the power to exterminate you, if you’re too expensive for the societies, and not to forget, the climate’s well-being.😂😂😂😂 Genocide is not only happening in Gaza. World War III, and genocide against Homo-sapien, and then their livestock, started back in 2020 by their first lockdown on humanity .

kqdi2mkI lived in one in my young days.
There was a little hallway, a bathroom and a small storage for clothing, etc.
Kitchen and bed in the living room.
It was okay for me when I was single.
Kitesir at 2024-02-14 09:05:43+00:00 ID:
kqd28fmCan't blame other people for not knowing a danish apartment that says it has 4 rooms really has 24 rooms.
CookieFlux at 2024-02-14 09:10:40+00:00 ID:
kqd2lynA danish apartment with 4 rooms has: 4 rooms + (kitchen + bathroom+maybe a hallway)

kqd76ouEr du sikker på at dit brugernavn ikke skulle være factorial grammar guy i stedet?
SimonGray at 2024-02-14 07:25:24+00:00 ID:
kqcucy4Nah, the Americans should be the ones to change. Counting total rooms is much more logical than just counting bedrooms.
And those pesky Americans should also start counting floors from level 0... and switch to metric while they're at it!
xibalba89 at 2024-02-14 12:28:06+00:00 ID:
kqdjlpyYes, because it makes lots of sense to say "I'm on the first floor of a 3-story building" when you mean the second floor. (That's how ordinal numbers work - we start with first, not zeroth.)
lordnacho666 at 2024-02-14 07:47:39+00:00 ID:
kqcw5mgAs long as it's common to quote a total size it's fine
Fillifax at 2024-02-14 10:11:05+00:00 ID:
kqd7898The system makes no sense - according to BBR (that's the official housing specifications), my apartment is 4 floors and 1 room in total.
macnof at 2024-02-14 10:28:05+00:00 ID:
kqd8ku1That's a reporting error. The owner of a building has a responsibility to ensure BBR is correct.
Zapador at 2024-02-14 09:34:15+00:00 ID:
kqd4ea8Why? It makes sense to count general purpose rooms and just exclude bathroom and kitchen. At least to me. But well, as long as everyone agrees how to count it, it's fine.
WindJester at 2024-02-14 09:15:19+00:00 ID:
kqd2ymoActually, not always. We live in a 3 room apartment which is living room + 2 bedrooms (or whatever you use the second room for). In addition, on top of kitchen and bathrooms, we got a separate laundry room in the apartment which is fully usable but not part of the count for some reason. We also got a small dining area attached to the kitchen, which is still the kitchen, but still does potentially serve a separate purpose
What you're saying is definitely the standard though, just pointing out there can be minor deviances from it

kqd4rkxThis comment really added value to the thread, thank you for telling us about your particular situation.

kqd4xr5Considering I was replying to a comment specifically addressing how rooms are counted, it did 🤷♂️ you're free to disagree/not like it, tbh I don't really care
ishoi at 2024-02-14 07:23:22+00:00 ID:
kqcu70jHvor er vi henne i København i dette statement? Lønnen tilsvarer ca 24,5 k før skat, pr. mand.
olkver at 2024-02-14 07:28:26+00:00 ID:
kqcultxFør eller efter at du har stået 30 år på venteliste ?
invisi1407 at 2024-02-14 10:25:19+00:00 ID:
kqd8cswDet er sådan lidt værste tilfælde - nogle står kun på venteliste i 10 år og nogle er heldige efter 6 år; det kommer meget an på lokationen, størrelsen og tilstanden af lejligheden.
laugefar at 2024-02-14 08:25:21+00:00 ID:
kqcz4zpAndelslejlighed, måske?
Jeg tjener pt. 25.000 efter skat, og jeg er eneste indkomst, da min hustru er under uddannelse. Vi betaler månedligt 10.000 for ydelse + lån.
Så to på McDonaldsløn ville nok have samme mulighed.
mil1980 at 2024-02-14 08:24:51+00:00 ID:
kqcz3llDet er ca. 33K udbetalt for 2 personer. Så meget bruger vi slet ikke for 2 voksne uden børn i Kbh. Vi ville stadig have 8K til opsparing hver måned.
AieraThrowaway at 2024-02-14 08:53:14+00:00 ID:
kqd1ahpJa selvfølgelig, det ville jo også være en kende vanvi...
...okay, 25k i husleje lyder stadig pænt vildt, medmindre altså at du mente 8k i opsparing til hver person. 17k i husleje er også ret meget.
mil1980 at 2024-02-14 09:04:20+00:00 ID:
kqd24m0Nej. 25K i alt for faste udgifter (9K), husholdning (11K) og forbrug (5K). Det kunne sagtens være lavere, men vi er lidt nogle luksusdyr.
throwaway85256e at 2024-02-14 09:50:38+00:00 ID:
kqd5nidSå har I da i hvert fald også stået på venteliste til almene boliger i 15+ år. Alle ikke-almene 4-værelses boliger i København koster nemt 15,000-17,000 kr. om måneden.
Bare for kontekst, så koster halvdelen af alle 1- og 2-værelses på hele Sjælland, som er tilgængelige på boligportalen, over 11,000 om måneden i ren husleje.
Tiffana at 2024-02-14 09:44:24+00:00 ID:
kqd56c0Hvor er den 4V’er? Sådan en koster hurtigt 15-20.000 kun i husleje
mil1980 at 2024-02-14 09:58:03+00:00 ID:
kqd680bDet er 3V i Valby, men vi har heller ikke børn. Ja, der er venteliste. Men selv om huslejen var højere ville der stadig være penge til opsparing. Forbrug og husholdning kunne også nemt være omkring det halve.
DeihX at 2024-02-14 07:44:39+00:00 ID:
kqcvwtmNot sure about that. Unless they know someone who knows someone that sets them up with super cheap rent. 4 room apartment on marketrent would be close to 15k-25K per month.
Xx_bornrisky_xX at 2024-02-14 09:53:45+00:00 ID:
kqd5w53This is total nonsense. A 4 bedroom apartment in Copenhagen starts at 15000 DKK, which is more than half of their combined net salary. I don't get why Danes are so obsessed with peddling this fairy tale BS to foreginers.
Librask at 2024-02-14 10:23:51+00:00 ID:
kqd88kx4 room is not the same as 4 bedroom apartments
enosprologue at 2024-02-14 11:57:09+00:00 ID:
kqdge3z“Anywhere except the 5 largest cities” is a big caveat. There aren’t that many McDonalds outside of those.
Also although it is $22/hr, I doubt many ordinary McD workers are on a full time contract.
LitleKitty at 2024-02-14 12:46:20+00:00 ID:
kqdlo06You must be living under a rock. There's a ton of MCDs everywhere.
danny12beje at 2024-02-14 05:50:19+00:00 ID:
kqclp66Imma say this. New cars are expensive as hell in Denmark and old cars are cheap as hell
F1XTHE at 2024-02-14 07:28:48+00:00 ID:
kqcumw5But if you live in the city you can make do with a bike for a fraction of the price.
Thue at 2024-02-14 11:19:43+00:00 ID:
kqdcw5bNot quite. On medicine, there is a yearly deductible of 4.575 DKK:
Also, dental is not covered (don't ask me why, is stupid).
insaneartichoke at 2024-02-14 12:33:52+00:00 ID:
kqdk8maMy dental bill was 80k this year😭
Sorry-Tangerine608 at 2024-02-14 16:17:12+00:00 ID:
kqegusqTry visiting a dentist in the US. The price we pay here in Denmark may seem high but compared to the US it is very cheap. My little sister and family lives in Phoenix, AZ 🙂 And the 4.xxx we have to pay for medicin is only at the pharmacy and not when admitted to a hospital. Again the 4.xxx is just of fraction what some Americans pay 🙂
