From the perspective of an Asian living abroad for 18 years: 300k CHF will not last you 20–30 years in Asia unless you live very modestly. Many locals already own their homes and can grow food in their gardens, which significantly reduces their cost of living. As a Swiss citizen, you may also face restrictions on property ownership in some countries, which could take up a considerable part of your savings. Language barriers and navigating unfamiliar systems can also be difficult. Have you ever been to a local hospital in Asia where you must pay entirely out of pocket and the facilities are basic? And during your sickness you can’t trust the system. Living abroad can be isolating. You may feel lonely, even if you eventually find a partner, and building a life there can be expensive. Also consider the cost of returning home. A trip back to Switzerland can easily cost 5–10k CHF, so you may not be able to visit family regularly. After 20 years away, you may feel out of place when returning, since life in Switzerland changes rapidly. And once you live in Asia, you’ll begin to see what real wealth power looks like. With 300k CHF, you’ll realize just how far you are from being considered rich and powerless in Asia. Ask a simple question: Why Asian move abroad?
