What is the cost of living in Sweden as a family?

But what’s known as the subsistence minimum (“existensminimum”) is SEK 10,061 per month for a couple living together, plus SEK 3,255 per month for each child up to 6 years of age, and SEK 3,906 per month for each child above years of age. If you make less money than this (after tax and, crucially, housing), you are officially in need of financial support of some kind.

Maybe this is more relevant to someone asking from abroad: if you make less money than this, have a time-limited residency, and want to bring your family over to live with you, it is most likely going to be denied. You are not considered to make enough money to be able to support them.

That… rather depends on the size of the family and the standard of living that you want.

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

Thanks for the A2A.
