In many ways it’s actually the other way around: If you already are a millionaire then the Nordic countries are wonderful places to live. But if you’re not, but young, talented and ambitious, then the US is the place to be.

"young, talented and ambitious" seems like a rather small portion of the population of a country

Sure, I’ll concede this much: if you’re middle age, mediocre and lazy then the Nordic countries are a paradise on earth.

Ah, yes: because if you're not "ambitious", aka "driven to become a multi-millionaire, no matter what it costs to get there", then you must be mediocre and lazy.

Nice false dichotomy there.

I’m not saying that there are no upsides with the Nordic model. But like any system, it also has downsides. How you feel about those upsides and downsides largely comes down to personality and (largely political) values.

You also should hope that your children and grandchildren will also be hardworking, talented, and ambitious.
