Is the cost of living in Denmark high?

We asked people how much they someone comfortably live on in Denmark, they wrote:

"The cost of living in Denmark is generally considered to be high, with prices for basic necessities such as food, housing, and transportation being significantly higher than in many other countries. Denmark also has a high rate of taxation, which can add to the overall cost of living.
