People seem to think you take home 100% of what you earn abroad and that you have no additional expenses. That's not the case.

Also people are talking about Canada but 14 Canadian Dollars is 11 USD and about £7.80 per hour.

What about rent, food travel?

The tax rate in Canada on taxable income is 15%, then 20.5% then 26% then top rate is 45.7%
There is also a 13% sales tax at the cash register and let's not forget paying for the health system through taxes just like most working countries in the West. There are probably a number of rates and taxes they pay for local amenities and the road infrastructure if they drive.


Also mansion is different from a house imho. The same way a Peugeot is different from a Porsche although they are both cars. The claim was about building mansions as the quoted comment says at the start of this thread.


You pay for all this services and make use of them because they are functional.
I can't regret or complain for bills and rents I pay and enjoy the services.
It's all about good life in a sane and serene environment not just building mansions back home.
Depending on how you spend, one can still build a decent house back home and not necessarily mansions.

You only talked about Denmark and Norway. Does it mean there are no other good Scandinavia countries?

MrBrownJay1:


all countries in Scandinavia are good to either visit or live in, but thats the one i believe have the strongest economy in Scandinavia (thats also where i have lived, therefore i have a better/deeper understanding).... so if someone want to go anywhere and hustle, then i would suggest to go to a place with bigger paychecks (aka Norway/Denmark) but hey, you could probably find great jobs in Sweden/Finland too.

This is a very ignorant post.

Yeah we pay tax in Canada but we also get money back from the government.
In addition to that, we get a lot of free services. Free or subsidize education, free healthcare and so on.

You people are enjoying but we have free schools here. Public schools are free up till secondary. One can't compare the standard to that of private schools but some are okay by African standard. If you pay tax up to 30% of your income then those things you mentioned are not actually free because you've been taxed for them. Here, people evade tax like anything

You just made an ignorant comment.

Londoner was spot on.

TheCongo2:


I get you, so the quality of life is better in Nigeria.
So, why do we have so many people leaving Nigeria for the west and not the other way around?

londoner:


Please explain the ignorant part. It's the truth.

What part are you disputing?

Affordablerent:


There are many, very many foreigners living in Nigeria. Whites, Indians, Arabs, Lebanese, Nigerians, Togolese, Chinese, Ghanians, Ivorians, I repeat many more nationalities living here quietly and peacefully.

justwise:


Both. It depends on the hourly pay of that menial jobs and your spending habit.
