By then I should also have an EU passport, so who knows, I might stay.

Travelling is culture here in Denmark - it's a small country and we have fair wages, so virtually all go abroad in their vacations..
It's of course made easier here since not only are education free, but you get paid to study - not much but enough to cover dorm room, food and a bit of recreational activities.. ( beer.. I'm talking about beer
) - so student debt is not an issue here - by the time you land a job you should be debtfree..
Housing here in Copenhagen can be insanely expensive - even small ( <100m2 ) apartments start on the other side of $500k but since there's a cultural focus on having room for all people there is however a large fairly cheep non-profit rental system here, so you can live fairly cheap here as long as you are okay with renting - and I'm perfectly okay with renting
Cars can also be expensive here - but minor economic cars are very fairly taxed, so I've always been able to buy my cars new in cash, thus avoiding loans
So I've always managed to stay debt free and as I mentioned in my other post I put money aside monthly into various accounts - one of them being a travel account - as that is probable what is the most important for my gf and I- so there's always money for travelling
And thanks to some pretty fair vacation laws in the Kingdom we do get the time off to go see the world - so we're off as much as we can bascially
Romsdal - Norway
Shanghai - China
Beverly Hills - Los Angeles - California - USA
Palma - Mallorca Island - Spain
