Can I have a comfortable life as a nurse in Sweden? Can I buy a house and not worry about the cost of living?

Basically yes, as long as you don’t want to live in or near the three biggest cities. Fortunately, as a nurse, your market is spread out all over the country and it should, if anything, be easier to find a job in a small town. But be aware that you will not find a job as a nurse unless you can communicate with patients in Swedish! Since there is a shortage of nurses, though, you will likely be able to find a program where you get free language training.

As for actual figures:

Rent for a flat will be somewhat lower than this: a bedsit in a small town will start at around SEK 5,000 per month. Living frugally, you’ll have saved up for the down payment in two years, assuming that you arrive totally penniless.

Hello,hope y'all doin good, i came to Quora to share my strange story , a very weird one , a story when luck smiled at me ,maybe u will enjoy it , let's begin,have fun... A year ago ,I was a real porn addicted(btw I was 18) ,but never had sex before, I don't have a gf I didn't try to find one even ,always thinking to go to find a sex worker but then I just don't , everyday watching different bodies getting fucked and everyday enjoying. One day, I was watching porn, a big ass lady with big boobs ,just after seeing her the image of my female cousin poped in my mind, (let's introduce her : she's 35 years old , very big ass , nice boobs ,not very big but nice,always wearing tight clothes , she's divorced ) and I thought of me fucking her ,I never had sexual desires for her but now I do days went by and when I met her I was so horny ,I couldn't stay with the family cz my penis was clearly erected , I realized this is my first time I get horny for one of my family ,it not illegal in my country.well to make a long story short( if u want details just text me I will tell u 😊),I decided to give her signs that I want to fuck her,finally I decided to have sex and with my cousin , I thought it is the best beggining for me, i started touching her when I came across her in a narrow place , make her feel my hard cock when we hug , I thought it will hard and I will be ashamed but no , I felt nothing and she said nothing , probably she thought it was by mistake,anyways, I decided then to talk with her about sex, waited for her to be alone in a room and talk with her, I confessed everything about me watching porn and addicted..etc,she said it's normal and u are growing up and u must have sex,well at that time I was like whaaat????? Well I didn't control myself and asked her for sex ( horny like I Ve never been before) she said that she will think Abt it ,2 weeka went by then she called me ,telling that she reserved a room in a hotel and we meet tonight ,we met,and bruuhh, sex is great , I mean, I had to find a pirstitue ,what I was waiting for to have such a feeling ????, I will never forget that night, I started kissing her she was kissing hard ,she misses sex so bad , she sucked my dick and swallowed my semen ,I felt I'm in a dream , then when fucked ,her ass was very big and the anus was open ,didn't struggle to get my hard cock inside it , she was obviously missing sex , she was shouting ,fuck me yh fuck me , I go fast after every word until I cum , we did that 3 times , then we went to her pussy , using condoms I fucked her so hard the moans were higher , everything was perfect ,in the end I asked her to lick her body , licked pussy ,ass, boobs,then she sucked my cock until we sleeped ,all I know that she was dirty ,well before even having sex with her I knew she is an open minded woman , and a woman that looks that she donesnt know anything , but she knows everything, but never expected having sex with her ,well she was horny and that helped...but no one of us regretted that sex ever.. We still have sex from time to time ,and I started having sex with sex workers , joining threesomes..etc If u want pics of her text me.

If you are a specialist nurse, with relevant experience, you might end up with up to twice the salary. And if you are willing to do some commuting, and especially if you are willing to live up north, you can easily find a cheaper house; in the towns along the coast north of Sundsvall, houses start at 1 million.

Nurse is a relatively well paid profession, and even living alone, a small house and no immediate financial worries is definitely realistic. Upon arrival in Sweden, I’d recommend you to start by renting a flat – that’s usually available more or less immediately in a smaller town, and you can scout out the house market while saving up for the down payment of 15%; banks are extremely reluctant to lend you the entire amount and you really want to have the full 15% on hand first.

You should expect a salary of around SEK 40,000 per month (that’s the average; if the ink is not yet dry on your diploma, it’s about 30,000), which is SEK 31,500 after tax (24,000 if it’s your first job). Houses in small towns in acceptable condition start at SEK 2 million but don’t expect those to be easy to find; interest and amortisation will set you back some SEK 13,000 per month. Say SEK 18,000 (11,000 if it’s your first job) when housing is paid for. The “subsistence minimum”, as defined by various authorities, is some SEK 6,200 per month, so you are comfortably above that even when you’ve paid for electricity and water.
