A school friend of mine lives in Copenhagen, and indeed the cost of living is very high. He and his wife both work (he has a senior academic role at a university), and he also owns a side business, but they live in a tiny apartment and he always complains about how expensive everything is. He cited cost as the reason they have no children.

Most people in Scandinavia save zero. Savings are usually in the form of pension contributions which cannot be touched until you reach pension age.
What is especially attractive to you about Denmark ?

Denmark is really good for African refugees. Don't believe the rumors that Muslim refugees are disappointed by the European welcome and prefer returning to their homelands in rising numbers. It may be the case only with the Muslim refugees from middle east states. They are really treated suspiciously by Europeans who tend to see ISIS "moles" in them. I noticed long ago that both salary and dwelling for middle east refugees are much worse than for Muslims who left African countries. I'm absolutely happy in Denmark and I'm waiting for my brothers from Eritrea come here.

But you should welcome the opportunity to work and pay high taxes in Scandinavia !

I thought they had good public transport in Scandinavia?
