Where did you get your lights around the top of your wall...Happy New Year

I value your matter-of-fact transparency in your videos, especially this one. Very informative, not just for Svalbard but simply effective budgeting. Thank you for always opening us to new ways of viewing the world.

Honestly thanks to you Grimm and Christopher, this was one of the first winters in Northeastern America in 12 years that I thoroughly enjoyed! I made it cozy, had plenty of candles and string lights and your enthusiasm helped me see the beauty! I actually miss the dark! (Our days are growing longer now). So THANK YOU. I no longer dread the dark cold winters!!!!❤❤

Whenever I watch your videos, I think “let’s check in on Svalbard!” … I am from Australia and love watching people who live life differently, I watch channels from Alaska, Korea, Japan, Ghana, Russia, Italy, other parts of the US, the UK. Every day I check in on those different parts of the world and think wow, there’s so many ways to live!

I’ve been watching your videos about polar night and winter for about a year now and they have been so helpful in changing my attitude about surviving dark winters. Your content has helped improve my winter quality of life. Thank you so much for sharing!

I've been curious about Svalbard finances (of course, here in the States its usually considered impolite to ask), so this offers a lot of insight. Thanks for sharing.

Omg me and my husband do our finances the SAME exact way!!! Wild! around where I live I’ve never seen anyone else do their finances this way. Pretty neat

3000-3500 ($300-350) for firewood for a whole year is impressive! We just started using a wood stove and to exclusively buy wood to heat the house would cost probably 10x that much for a year here in the US. Thanks for sharing your budget! Good to get on top of at the start of a new year.

Svalbard sounds great for those who are healthy, young and need no extra services. Suggestion on future episode: what do the old people do ? parents of special needs children? what about emergencies in health? what services does Svalbard not have ? thanks!!!

not at all surprised that your channel has grown so much. Your vids are great and just a great balance against all the 'other' stuff we are bombarded with. HAPPY NEW YEAR

As someone who lives in the United States (Bay Area) I can tell you the only time I was paid every week was when I was very young and worked in retail. I work in Education, and my husband is in the high tech industry and we only get paid once a month. You are doing a good job taking care of your spending!

A wonderful new year to you, Christoffer, and Grim, and many more hours of beautiful content creation!

How do you estimate your monthly income. Is it the same every month? Do you have steady clients who pay the same amount monthly. I’m a fund development officer and have many clients. I have a hard time estimating how much I will bring in monthly.

I’m terrible with budgeting and have tried getting motivation from videos before but to no avail. This is the first video that has really helped me to see the benefits to it and to see it so simply done. Thank you! Love your videos!!

I’d say the majority gets paid semi-monthly (24 payments a year) or bi-weekly (26 payments). Other options are pretty rare.

Yeah. Typically lower-paying service jobs that are paid wages by the hour are paid weekly or bi-weekly (such as working at a grocery store or a garage). Whereas, if you have a professional job where you are paid a fixed income or salary, you get your checks usually monthly or sometimes semi-monthly (the government often pays bi-monthly).

@@matthewluck9077 and it is not true. My husband is a police officer and he is on bi-weekly direct deposits. I work in IT and my current company direct deposits money semi-monthly, all my previous companies paid bi-weekly. His previous departments always paid bi-weekly. When he was in military they paid bi-weekly too. Pretty sure that lower-paying jobs are the same OR on WK schedule.

I think what I like about your videos is that they are both exotic and familiar. I've lived in snowy winters all my life, but I've only seen polar bears in zoos, and the northern lights only in videos. Your way of life is both fascinating and comfortable. Thanks! With ❤️ from Chicago, Illinois, USA ❤️❤️❤️

Happy New Year to you and your little family! And congratulations on 500k!

Happy new year and keep doing what you do so well. Look forward to seeing more from you.

Hello from Minnesota. We don’t have polar nights, however, our winter can be brutal. Love your polar night videos. 🥰

Happy New Year to you! Congrats on your milestone!

Happy New Year to you both, and to Grimm ! So happy to be one of your 500k fans. Your videos are calming and introspective at times. They are funny and informative at times and show us in the US Midwest that a different climate has its own beauty. Keep posting , maybe someday I will see those beautiful Northern Lights before my time on this wondrous planet is done

Happy new year of 2023. We wait for you to post. I'm not sure what it is about you or your little town. But it bring peace to our souls here and we can not wait for the next post. You guys are loved 😍 ❤️. Hugs from across the country.
