Ps. BTW, how do you FIND one?!? I mean, you can hardly look them up in the yellow pages and be sure it's a good one...And I don't have that kind of friends (= rich friends) that use one either so can't get recommendation... (and no point in you recommending one either - I live in Sweden!;) )

Certified Public Accountant

Karinc,

I'm not sure if you have taxes there, but if you can find someone that does that you are golden. Another suggestion is to go into back you deal with the most and ask if they know any accountants they can refer you too.

Look at what they get in return. Free Health insurance.... ETC ETC..... Things us americans have to work for.

The free health care is somewhat restricted. If you are a certain age
you can not have certain operations etc.
Over they last few years Sweden has started to cut back on some
of the generous benefits because of abuse of the system.
Not to deny the low crime and safety stats are very envious.
Sweden only has a little over 9 million people in an area a shade bigger than California.
I would rather to provide for myself and not worry about rationed
health care.

I want my resources so I can make my own decisions. It just drives me nuts to read what our government spends or tax dollar on. Like the famous bridge to nowhere in Alaska. Good grief.
