Will I save money living in Kristiansand?

"Living in Kristiansand can be more expensive than living in the United States. The cost of living in Norway is generally higher than in the United States, with the cost of groceries, housing, and transportation being particularly expensive. However, the cost of healthcare and education is lower in Norway than in the United States, so it is possible to save money in those areas. Additionally, Norway has a higher minimum wage than the United States, so those with jobs may be able to save more money," said another expat in Kristiansand, Norway.
