Husband and I moved to Norway with no jobs lined up, but we had saved 1-2 years worth of expenses (rent, food, etc) before we did. This was good because it took several months for him to find a job using his degree and over half a year for my residence permit to process before I could even look for work. It’s been quite a stressful year (Norway does not make the system easy for immigrants) but we’re doing fantastic now!

Really? Because I’ve met plenty here in Norway that are quite happy here. Very few that say otherwise.
