No offence to Ole, who is my friend, but he does live in a country that has 
never adopted the euro even though it is in the EU.
Moreover, Denmark's kroner maintains the highest value of any of the 
Scandinavian currencies against the dollar, followed by Norway's kroner and 
lowest by Sweden's Kronor, which carries the least value of the three 
currencies.
Check them at http://www.xe.com if you want. In other words, $1 buys less 
Danish Kroner than it does to buy Swedish Kronor with Norwegian Kroner ranked 
in between.

Nope, the cost of living in the EU has not "sky rocketed."
 
Look at the statistics. 
 
The EURO is not less popular than it was last year.

EURO LOSING POPULARITY AMONG EUROPEANS

While the Euro has gained substantial value against the dollar since its     
inception five years ago, those living in the euro zone are not particularly    
 satisfied with the results of changing from their own national currencies to   
  a single currency.  As reported by the Daily Telegraph, a majority of     
people in Italy, Greece, the Netherlands, and France are unhappy with the     
Euro.  (Although Germany is not mentioned, I know firsthand that many     
Germans also have complained about the high cost of living since the     
initiation of the new currency.)

As the Telegraph notes, 81% of those surveyed complained that the euro     "has 
led to a rise in prices".  The Telegraph describes the increasing     internal 
dissatisfaction with the new currency:  "A growing number of     Europeans 
believe that the biggest monetary revolution in history has done     more harm 
than good to national economic growth, the job market and     standards of 
living."

While the euro may be good for business, it was apparent to me on a     recent 
trip to Spain that the cost of living in Europe has sky rocketed     since the 
introduction of the euro.  That can't be good for the average     citizen.
