What is the cost of living in Sweden as a family?

That… rather depends on the size of the family and the standard of living that you want.

Thanks for the A2A.

But what’s known as the subsistence minimum (“existensminimum”) is SEK 10,061 per month for a couple living together, plus SEK 3,255 per month for each child up to 6 years of age, and SEK 3,906 per month for each child above years of age. If you make less money than this (after tax and, crucially, housing), you are officially in need of financial support of some kind.

I have been married for 34 years, and I found out my wife lied, and cheated a lot back before we got married. Does she not change, or is it possible she is still a cheater?

Maybe this is more relevant to someone asking from abroad: if you make less money than this, have a time-limited residency, and want to bring your family over to live with you, it is most likely going to be denied. You are not considered to make enough money to be able to support them.
