Why Finland and Danmark is happier than the US

 Finland and Denmark is recognized as happiness country in the world for many years continuously. The income for each people in Finland and Denmark is approximate 25k $. It's equal to one half of the US (about 45k $). It clearly shows that US people are richer than Finland and Denmark people, so why those country are happier than US?

The key here is work-life balance and social condition. 

In those countries, people are free for education, healthcare and if you don't have a job, each month you will receive about 2k $ from government. It's enough for your daily need. So people are more free to choose what they want to do. If they do a job, and they realize that they don't want that job, they can easily quit the job and find the new one without worrying about money since the government is already there to give them money.

At Finland, the fee for hospital when delivering a child is so cheap, a family room within few days cost about 300$. In additional, when a child pops out, they received a box in which include all the things that the child need for the first 3 months. And a woman will be off 9 months and her husband have 3 weeks leave to take care of their new child.

In Finland, people don't talk about one's income since for them, it's not polite, it's brag.

In Finland, people should pay for tax more than the US, but they're willing to do it because they know their tax is served for social security. They trust their government.

In those countries, people feel safe. They can let the baby parked in a stroller outside a coffee shop while they run errands.

So I can make a brief on why Finland and Denmark is happier than the US:

- They feel safe in their society

- Their daily basic is guaranteed

- Their child education is guaranteed

- Their health is guaranteed

- They can do whatever they want, if they don't like their current job, they can quit the job without worrying about money.
