What we spend in a week as a family of 4 living in 🇫🇮 | Comparing housing costs for Finland vs. US

Have you ever truly wondered about the cost of living in Finland? Join our family of four on an intriguing financial journey right here in Turku, a beautiful city just an hour and a half away from Finland's capital, Helsinki! In this video, I meticulously track every euro we spend over the course of a week, giving you a transparent look at our daily expenses – from groceries and transportation to leisure activities and unexpected purchases.

At the end of the week, I'll not only tally up our total variable spending, but I'll also combine it with our essential fixed costs, providing a comprehensive picture of our monthly budget. This includes key outlays like our housing expenses, utilities, and other regular bills.

As an American family who recently moved to Finland from the US, we were incredibly curious to understand how our spending habits and overall cost of living compare. So, for a unique insight, I'll also be doing a direct comparison of our fixed living costs in Finland versus what we experienced while living in New York State in the US. Prepare to be surprised by some of the differences! Grab a coffee and come along to discover the realities of budgeting as an expat family in Finland!
