Methinks Norwegian millionaires will suffer even more (neighboring Norway boasts the world’s highest rate of dollar millionaires per capita):

This really brings tears to my eyes....
A kronor here, a kronor there, pretty soon you’re talking serious money.
What do you have against them?
“This really brings tears to my eyes....”
- Life seemed meaningful to me before reading these sad news.
What’s the Swedish equivalent of having to eat rice and canned beans?
lutfisk?
Herring? Reindeer fat?
Dried beans are cheaper.
- Personally, I'm tired of the krona.
Sweden might be a better run economy than the continental ones, but we really ought to join the Euro.
A good argument for doing so is that such a move would immensely enhance the chances of the larger European nations finally starting to get a grip on their own economies.
Having lived in Sweden for 39 years and having read as well as having traveled a bit, I don't hesitate to say my country is better run than places like southern Italy.
You are so right, as usual, Tax-chick. How do "frozen beans" line up on the cost scale?
I don’t have anything against them, I just can’t seem to work up a “give a d*mn” for Swedish billionaires.
“lutfisk?”
- Lutfisk or lutefisk is actually a luxury ordinary Swedes only can afford to eat during Christmas times.
The stinking rich Norwegians eat it more often, but at least we drive Volvo V70s and they drive ordinary Fords:D.
“I don’t have anything against them, I just can’t seem to work up a “give a d*mn” for Swedish billionaires.”
- You have no pity in your heart.
We ate like Mexican peasants for a number of years, before achieving our present comfortable prosperity.
Frozen vegetables, as a rule, cost more than canned vegetables for similar quantities, but they’re usually more nutritious. Frozen beans, except for green beans and such, are sort of a weird concept to me, but I suppose it would be a time-saver, and would avoid the high salt content of canned beans, if salt’s an issue for you.
What do they eat in Sweden, anyway? I think I saw a “Lonely Planet” episode about it once, but I don’t remember any details!
I know...I'm just a typical evil conservative.
“What do they eat in Sweden, anyway?”
- Rich folks eat IKEA meatballs, ordinary people like me dine on IKEA furniture.
Maybe ABBA will have to reunite after all.
LOL!
“Maybe ABBA will have to reunite after all.”
- Bitte nicht!
I would prefer a reunion of Boney M (- straight outta Munich, ja!)
