Most things about saving money is of course universal, but investing and earning is quite different from the US over here. I.e. higher taxes and smaller economies equals less money to invest, more incentive to use tax cuts and "tax planning" and less investment instruments available. Then again I, as a student, can study anything I get admitted to without having to take any debt for as long as I want. ;) *law/MBA-combostudent with 0 debt* Sorry for showing of :( Anybody know of any Scandinavian personal finance blogs?

A lot of US financial advice applies to non-citizens, but they don't deal with the possibility of retiring abroad or educating children abroad.
