>>6884074>C) Be ScandinavianIn my mind it's really not a worthwhile lifestyle, it's not like you can just push a welfare button and lean back for the rest of your life.
"Dagpenge" gives a decent amount, but requires you to have had a job and be a paying member of an "A-kasse" for at least a year.
Though after a few years of unemployment, you are no longer entitled to receive it.
"Kontanthjælp" is a meager existence with barely enough money sustain yourself.
And AFAIK you can't really save up because one of the conditions for receiving this type of welfare is that you absolutely need it.
If you have money saved up, you have to use that first.
Other than that, being on "dagpenge" requires you to send at least 2 job applications a week, while "kontanthjælp" is significantly more.
If you get a job offer, you have to take it too, declining it will lose your entitlement to welfare.
I've never been in these systems, but an ex-colleague has, and he calls it the worst experience in his life.
Any danes ITT, please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm just so tired of people thinking Denmark has some fucking unicorn easy money system. Because we don't.
