Define the good life.

Being able to make something of myself through hard work and
dedication, and then enjoying the results of those gains through a
lifestyle that is entirely of my own choosing.

Gee, I have a few friends in Norway (I only know about six Norwegians)
who love their jobs and their lifestyle, and got to where they are by
hard work and dedication in a field they chose. There's nothing
particularly "country-centric" about your "good life."

Then again, some people are satisfied with the meager earnings of a
common laborer, and are quite happy living in a one room flat, with
such "luxuries" as running hot water.

So I guess once again, it's all relative.

My guess is that my Norwegian buddies do better than you do.

That depends on your definition of "better"......
