True of course for the average Finnish citizen.

However, if you’re a highly paid white collar worker, you can afford to put your kids in good schools no matter where you’re living.

That's simply untrue. Many schools that present themselves as "good" or "elite" are some of the most fucked up places you could ever visit.

I went to a private school from years 7-10 and could never put anyone I loved our cared about in that position.

Only very few schools on earth are good and you basically have no access to them as someone working in a tax haven.
