Aalesund?

9 years ago
Hi there,

I'm potentially moving to Aalesund as a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 small kids) to work. I'm looking at being a sole breadwinner initially, as a teacher.

I'm not sure what a teacher earns in Norway, but I do know its expensive.

My wife will hopefully find work (she is an accountant, but will do whatever she needs to do to bring home some of the bacon.)

Is it possible to get by on the money I'm likely to earn? Also, is it possible to buy a home there? The idea being that we can save on rental, and earn some capital gain on the home. Hopefully, eventually putting down roots and staying.

I'd greatly appreciate your thoughts.

Regards
