I'd only recommend moving to Sweden, if you have a family and want a stress free 37.5 hours job. Practically free, but very good healthcare and education for your kids, high pensions and unemployment benefits.
But on average you'll have to live in a lot smaller house/apartment, make less money after taxes, suffer the cold climate (unless you love winter sports). The startup scene is 1/1000th of the Valley.
Sounds good to me! Stress free is what I look for, and not having to worry about health insurance seems awesome. I think it would be a good life for my family.
The weather is not a problem, I love cold climates :)
