Abstract

The Estonian immigrants are within some settings such as taxation, hundred percent employed, little knowledge of Norwegian language, village, which limits them in some ways to reach their goal. They are conceived as having a residence in Norway so that they have the same amount money that a normal Norwegian but at the same time they have a home in another country. They cannot use much money and the plans have to wait until they are back in Estonia. They can only go to Estonia at vacations so that the time to work at their house and plans is limited. At the time back in Estonia they want to have vacation such as others in Norway and in Estonia, which means that they are most of the time with family, friends and relaxing. When trying to work as with Agu he is expected to be with friends cheer things and time with them. The surroundings are constraining them in many ways, which does that it takes much longer than planned to maximize their goal and values such as going back to Estonia.
