This is basically the same as Australia but it's a lot tougher to get benefits if you're not willing to work or get retrained. Faking an illness to get benefits in Aus is common.
The only concern I have about Sweden is the weather. I live about 5 minutes from the beach (by foot) and I surf most days throughout the year. Our Winters are a joke compared to Northern Europe. It rarely gets anywhere near 0 degrees Celsius.
