Living On $48K A Year In Helsinki, Finland | Millennial Money

Maria Ainamo-McDonald, 30, earns the equivalent of $48,000 a year as a marketing specialist at the broadcasting company YLE. She lives in Helsinki, Finland where she’s been able to buy two homes before turning 30. Here’s how Maria earns, spends and saves her money in the happiest country in the world.
This is the latest installment of Millennial Money, which profiles people across the U.S. and details how they earn and spend their money.
Read more about Maria's budget breakdown here: cnb.cx/33a1Tje
Maria lives comfortably on $48,000, but in an ideal world, would make closer to $75,000. She picked that amount after reading studies that suggest you need about that much to be happy. While it’s a goal in the back of her mind, “I don’t actively work for that to happen,” she adds. “I don’t do my work because of money. I do my work because I enjoy it.”
Ainamo-McDonald spends about $527 per month on groceries, including diapers, for the whole family. She also spends an additional $111 eating out. That’s enough to cover just one night out for the family at a nice restaurant. “In Finland, going out for dinner is super expensive, especially if you want to have alcohol,” she says. She gets lunch at work every day. It costs about $8 and is taken straight out of her paycheck.
Ainamo-McDonald bought her first apartment in Helsinki, Finland, at 26. She recently sold it, came out $21,000* ahead and used the profits to upgrade to a bigger home that she shares with her husband, Duke, and their two-year-old son.
It was a significant purchase: The four-bedroom apartment cost $326,000 all-in. The couple put $78,000 down, financed the rest and split the $932 monthly mortgage payment, which includes interest.
Plus, she plans on staying put for a while. “I was born in Helsinki,” she says. “And I’ve always liked Helsinki.”
You can’t beat the health-care system and parental leave policy, she adds. “In my humble opinion, Finland is the best place to have kids.”
It’s also the happiest country, according to the 2019 World Happiness Report. Aianamo-McDonald agrees with the assessment. “Everything is very good in this country: Everybody has food and shelter and free education, which I think is the key. You have the possibility of being very happy here - then, of course, it’s up to the individual to decide if they want to grab that chance.”

    For a European country like Scandinavia, 48K a year isn't bad at all. Consider social security, cheaper food, virtually no expensive student loans, less stressful life, great educational system and what not. Here in Serbia, many people work for $350 *a month* ! We here see Scandinavian countries as a future place to live in, since we know how extremely hard it is to live in Serbia, despite knowing that people here are warm, positive and the mentality is all around different (the Balkans in a nutshell). :) Ask anyone here who lives/has lived in Serbia to tell his/her story about what life was like in that small country.

    @Kilo Byte the interest on student loans is smaller than the inflation rate. The slower you pay the loan, the less you pay in real money. Especially when people usually earn more when they advance on their career. Banks are happy to provide these loans, since they're backed by the government. People also rarely leave their students loan unpaid, thanks to the lenient payback plans, bonuses if you graduate on time and the fact that it's much better to owe money to a bank than the government.

    I really think it is a blessing living in Finland. I live in the countryside of Finland. I work as a practical nurse and on a side I have my own forest farm witch makes me some extra money. As a practical nurse I make about 30K euros yearly (before taxes) and I live nicely in my own house and over 30ha property. On the contrary living on a rural part of Finland means I have to have my own car, distanses are long and shops etc far away. I was 24 when buing my first house/property (without loan, using only savings), witch cost about 70K, so living outside of Helsinki is much cheaper on a way. Now I am 26 years old having two farms, two jobs (practical nurse and entrepreneur) with fiance and a lot of pets. No need for loans, I can save around 500€-2000€ every month. I usually make around 1500€-2500€ after taxes monthly. I really think living in Finland is a blessing, no need to worry about money.

    Perhaps the lifestyle of other countries might be a better model to follow. Nice family that Finland helps out a lot. A reason to move

    This is a great example of a sensible and pretty well-planned family with 2 incomes and only 1 kid, in the capital city where services make life more convenient (you can live without a car and plenty of housing options) and there are plenty of jobs available. However if you're not a native Finn, it would be a totally different story. The cultural barrier is high. Finland is a small country with a small population. The sense of community is strong, the language is EXTREMELY difficult to learn. You will probably find difficulty in finding a job, or to rent/buy an apartment. Starting next year 2020, people with a passport outside of the EU need to apply for a license to buy house in Finland, for example. Secondly, the economy is not doing well, and it's a small economy to begin with. Government has been cutting budget in many places and social security has been compromised to a certain degree ever since. Salary is stalled, tax is still high, public health care is slow and definitely sub-bar compared to private (with all the high tax and you still have to go to private clinic). So just to be clear, I am not bashing Finland but as you all know, there is no such thing as a free lunch, there is always a catch.

It'll be higher for special doctors engineers and businessmen, i'm not fully sure about Nigeria. And even in Nigeria I'm sure Lagos or Abuja cities have higher wealth middle class than the whole country. There is always wealth inequality

    2:35 I think that's similar to the affordable housing system the United States has. In the US (I don't know if it's still in place,) but it used to be that if you have 20% the worth of a home the government will back your loan (meaning if you default it'll give the bank money.) This makes it much more likely that a bank will give you a loan. The only condition is that your home is under $200,000.

    These videos about Scandinavian or Nordic countries are great but there is one important thing. The systems is made in a special way where citizens are prioritised. Many people watching videos think that anyone can come here to live. In reality many foreigners living there face a lot of psychological hardships. So we can only admire the lifestyle and opportunities of Nordic countries, but not everyone can get a good stable life there, only the citizens.

    I think the reporting misreported 4 ROOMS as 4 BEDROOMS. In Finland apartments are listed in total square metres, number of rooms, plus extras such as balcony, sauna, etc. Rooms include living room and bedrooms. So in this case it is much more likely the apartment had 3 bedrooms. I mention it because it makes a big difference to cost.
