Will I save money living in Orkney Islands?

Answer this Question

We asked expats if they save money living in Orkney Islands. They said...

"The cost of living in the Orkney Islands can be lower than in many parts of the United States, especially when compared to major cities. Housing tends to be more affordable in Orkney, and the cost of groceries, dining out, and general expenses can also be less. However, this can vary depending on your lifestyle and spending habits. Additionally, healthcare in Scotland is publicly funded, which could result in significant savings compared to the private healthcare system in the U.S. However, you may find that salaries are generally lower in Orkney than in the U.S., which could offset some of these savings. It's also worth noting that the cost of certain goods, such as gasoline and electronics, can be higher in Scotland due to import costs and taxes. Therefore, while you may save money in some areas, you may spend more in others," explained one expat living in Orkney Islands, Scotland.
