The Danes basically have a socialist system which eliminates a lot of the ordinary worries and fears that other systems have in exchange for a higher tax rate of 50% and up.
All healthcare is paid for.
They have no concept of going bankrupt from medical bills or not being able to afford prescriptions or going to a doctor.
All education is paid for.
From K thru University, for as long as you want to go to school and better your education.
All children learn a second language by age 8 and a third language by age 12.
Women get 1 year paid maternity leave, and after that year they are able to go back to work with subsidized daycare.
While there's nothing stopping them from becoming rich if they desire, most Danes aren't consumers like over here.
They have a "post-consumerist" society where they can all afford nice things, but place very little importance on them.
While we tend to place more importance on stuff and status symbols, they value family and friends above all else, and get plenty of familytime and socializing.
Their society places so much importance on socializing that they will even pay you to get together and have fun.
You and your friends like flying model planes?
Start a model plane group or club and the government will pay for it.
Since there's no poverty there's also very little crime.
Vegetable stands run on the honor system, people leave their bikes unlocked, and mothers even leave their babies sitting in their strollers outside of stores and cafes.
