We really need to improve in Norway. It is not sustainable.

Consumption of what ? Food, Energy , water, …??

does this metric show the actual consumption of goods or the possibility of consumption as in purchasing power? if its the former I’d argue less is better

I wonder where the UK would be, same as Ireland or France about?

That’s why it doesn’t really mean much to say that Norway is expensive unless you’re a visitor, otherwise the services you provide as a worker there is also expensive meaning that you get paid enough for things to if anything feel cheap anyway considering that you get enough bang for the buck (or kroner). So in a way you can say that it’s not expensive to live in Norway, but more that there’s a massive amount of wealth distribution in Norway that becomes a disadvantage if you’re outside of it, like for instance a tourist.
In other words, it’s great to be in a high-speed train, not so great to be stood outside of it on the tracks🤣

I much prefer seeing this chart for Ireland over all the others that show us as super rich. It means things can get better than what they currently are.

Ireland overtook Italy, and now Italy is closer to Spain than to France.
Well, that is what happens when you do not push for wage growth. You cannot live off inherited wealth forever
One reason I think wages in Italy have not really gone up, even though there is some room for it, is that a lot of Italians still rely on wealth that was built during the economic boom after the 1960s. I am talking mostly about families that already had some stability. For a long time, that wealth made up for the lack of proper salary increases. People owned their homes, had some money in the bank thanks to their parents or grandparents, and if their monthly pay covered expenses, that was enough. They did not worry too much about saving, and even if nothing was left at the end of the month, it was not a big deal because they had that family cushion behind them
Now, though, the situation is shifting. Living costs have gone up, but wages have barely moved. That monthly salary no longer covers everything. So people are having to choose. Either they start borrowing through loans or financing, or they begin tapping into their assets. That might mean dipping into family savings or selling a bigger property to buy something smaller and get some cash out of it
I am not saying that the wealth is gone. It is not. But it is starting to be used. And that is the key. For years, that wealth helped paper over the cracks. It kept things going and gave the impression that everything was still working fine. Now that people are using it just to stay afloat, the pressure to raise wages is becoming harder to ignore. And honestly, it feels like that awareness is finally starting to hit

What is happening in Denmark? A few years ago, there were around 120. And what is going on with Estonia? Far behind Lithuania, on a par with Bulgaria? Ireland is also interesting. Its level of prosperity is more on par with Italy, and its crazy high GDP is only boosted by its complicity in tax avoidance by US mega-tech corporations.

Nothing surprising here. The poorer you are the less you consume.

I am kind of suprised how much more consumption has improved and/or recovered throughout Europe, as Denmark’s AIC was 119 just a few years ago

Damn. Without this map I’d never believe how many individuals we consume in my country!
I don’t like this map. It doesn’t show if the consumption is lower as a part of GDP or due to higher PPP index. You can’t draw any useful conclusions about this data.

I’m happy to say that I have not consumed any actual individuals.

I didn’t know what AIC was, so found [this explanation](https://www.cso.ie/en/interactivezone/statisticsexplained/nationalaccountsexplained/actualindividualconsumption/). In very short: bigger number is better. As AIC also includes government expenditure on individuals (such as spending on social welfare and education), more socialized policies will push the number higher.
