Cost of Living in Sweden
Given an overview of your usual expenses in Sweden, if you don’t eat-out that much, you take the train back and forth for a week, with a daily cup of coffee and you stay in a one bedroom, you can fairly survive with a USD 500-600 weekly budget. A dozen eggs that may cost you only USD 3.3 can bring you a long way for a good one and a half weeks. Match your eggs with some white bread for only USD 2.53 and those will suffice for an every day breakfast. In fact, if you can cut on the rice and maybe settle for a daily black coffee, you may be able to enjoy a Big Mac meal every week at USD 8.8!
