She is still there trying to recover from the loss of her husband. Hasn't worked in 2 months. I believe the socialist state has affected her mind though. While there she and the girls get a check from the Gov't which equals their rent for the flat, 1200 Sq ft or so. And she doesnt want to came here and work for double the pay and own a 2000 sq ft home. I don't get it. but the hospital she works at does close 4 months a year and she gets paid for them being closed. Just don't get sick when they're closed. AARRGG Swedish socialism.
well, the "Swedish way" grows on you when there....When I left, I couldnt afford to pay child support...we got a divorce, I had 5,000 Skr gross, 50% tax left me w 2500, rent was 1700, child support was 900 /child...as you easily can see 1700+1800 = 3500....then I needed food and other stuff...
friends said "you can get free rent help, food help, etc from the govt"....I didnt like the idea to live off of others ,so I left ,came back to the states where I could get a job that paid enough so that after taxes I could pay child support, eat ,buy a house etc...and wok hard enough you can get "extra" money....there is no extra if you are living off 'help' to supplement to start with.
