If Norway Were My Home

...Consume 23.46% less oil

• I would rely on public transit and walking more.
• When driving, I would drive shorter distances.
• Electricity would be used to heat and cool homes, rather than oil

...Use 63.66% more electricity

• Norway relies on electricity significantly more than fossil fuels
• This has a substantial effect on Norway's international market, as they do not trade as much with largely oil producing countries.
• This would effect my electricity use and power expenses, but I would survive because...

...make 28.54% more money

• Norwegians are some of the wealthiest people on earth, despite having much more free time and much less of an economic class divide. This makes Norway one of the world's most developed countries.
• I would likely spend more on hobbies and activities with friends and family.

experience 21.16% less of a class division

• Norway's middle class is one of the wealthiest in the world
• This class equality results in a much more accessible and equal-opportunity job market.
• I would likely experience less discrimination in society because of this.

...Have 21.16% more free time

• Because of Norway's high development, people have much more free time.
• I would use this time to pursue my interests, spend time with family and friends, and attend events such as concerts and movies.

...be 49.3% less likely to be unemployed

• Because of Norway's accessible and equal opportunity job market, very few people suffer from joblessness and homelessness.
• This would vastly reduce stress in my life.

spend 57.74% more on healthcare

• Norway's health system is publicly owned, and therefor tax funded.
• Because of this, the general public spends substantially more on better and more reliable health care.
• This is an expense I would have to take into account.

...be 47% less likely to die at birth

• Because of Norway's exceptional healthcare system, high GDP, and low class division, very few suffer infant mortality.
• This would minimize stress if I ever have a child.

Would i want to live here?

• + More free time
• + Less oil consumption
• + Accessible job market

Would i want to live here?

• - Spend more on healthcare (albeit better healthcare)
• - Use more electricity (albeit asopposed to oil)
• - Die 0.07% sooner

Yes i would.

• For me, Norway's positives outweigh its negatives by far.
• Given the opportunity, i would consider myself lucky to live in a place like Norway :)
