From what I've seen, .NET developer positions in Sweden are 30-60k SEK / mo before taxes. But obviously I wouldn't know as well as you

I don't know what kind of education you have but he has a good one considering his job, with 2 years experience. Sys architects also makes quite a bit more than a regular developer/programmer.

And, as far as I'm aware, Sweden only has like a 5% difference between the richest and poorest classes anyway.

I don't really know what this means. If you are trying to tell me that there is a 5% difference in income(/life quality) between the richest and the poorest "class" then I can only conclude that you are very American. People receiving social benefits generally get around 3500/month + their living paid. A small salary in Sweden could be around 6k after tax and middle class worker generally brings in something between 15-30 after. There is a chance that you were saying only 5% belongs to the richest and the poorest but I'd say you are wrong there too.
