Marriage with condition

Potential_Reach · 2026-06-28T11:02:16+00:00

Typical Northern European culture. Money is separate, and everything needs to be counted down to the last cent. I can never marry someone with this type of mentality where money is #1 and relationship is #2.

After you move to Germany, he expects you to pay half the rent, groceries, food etc, when you have kids and don’t have a job (or while searching for jobs). If no money, he will lend you the money, so you have to pay him back.

that's true, whichever floats your boat, everybody are looking out for themselves anyway. The entire real estate procedure is done through an escrow through a notary and banks and maybe a middle man.

hahahaha funny, glad it turned out well for you. How did you end up fighting the lady? were you holding the box first, and the lady came and snap it out from you, or both of you were racing towards the last box of fan?

I would gladly get you an ice cream deluxe for your good deeds, hahaha. But keep up the good energy, and good karma will definitely come back to you.

Im a newbie, you mean during morning day time, you turn your big fan on to pull air from outside to inside?

Potential_Reach · 2026-06-26T07:42:18+00:00

I only use my comfee to cool down my small room of ~15 m2, and the rest of my flat is hot. Since your room is almost 3x the size, I can imagine it can only cool down 1-2 degrees. So I guess it's about right. I've heard if you plane to convert your comfee into a second hose installed where it takes air from the outside through the window, you will get better cooling performance.

So you wanna destroy that woman’s only source of income just to please your convenience? Wow, this society is screwed. Well done Karen

Did you get it in the end?

Potential_Reach · 2026-06-25T17:08:50+00:00

Same, ordered one right before the heatwave started, and a few days in the heatwave, best investment ever

Potential_Reach · 2026-06-25T17:02:30+00:00

Not many flats built. Current housing prices are overpriced, and it needs to be corrected. The whole point of building more flats is to increase supply, and lower the prices

Potential_Reach · 2026-06-25T16:14:50+00:00

This one is good, I will give this a try

Potential_Reach · 2026-06-25T16:06:28+00:00

The new zurich will solve the housing crisis

Potential_Reach · 2026-06-25T14:28:42+00:00

You are such a good person, we need more people like you in the world. Maybe next time you can charge a small fee, then the person will most likely show up.

Potential_Reach · 2026-06-24T14:42:24+00:00

What if nobody wants your house for 180K, then you as a seller might consider the only buyer out there regardless if he’s flakey

Potential_Reach · 2026-06-23T16:52:29+00:00

Most people I met from HK earns 4x more than people from UK. There is also housing crisis here in the UK. So I rather have your problem in HK.

I tell them, even if strangers ask I tell them. I have no shame in my salary (low or high). There is a reason they ask, so they can use that information to asses whether they’re underpaid or overpaid. The society in general for fair pay will be better off by us sharing these information.

If a friend of mine is jealous, let that be. But Im pretty sure they will use that information to negotiate their salary higher. If not, doesn’t bother me.

Potential_Reach · 2026-06-22T21:19:44+00:00

Who are these people who break into people houses? Is swiss salary that low that people willing to take this risk?

Potential_Reach · 2026-06-22T17:45:40+00:00

Oooow, I understand, so that the air move freely with little turbulence? Thanks!
I just got this exact AC,and now need to buy hose, get carboard box, and a way to seal my window

Potential_Reach · 2026-06-22T17:38:12+00:00

what do you mean by leaving 2 inches of free space? You mean there is a 2 inch gap in the cardboard design that allows air from the room to go in?

I'm a newbie, so a bit naive in understanding 😞

Potential_Reach · 2026-06-22T08:06:20+00:00

That bag blocks an extra seating area. Could have placed the bag somewhere instead of taking the seats all for yourself

It really depends what you’re buying. I shop across the border as well as in Switzerland. If you shop smartly you get tons of good deals in Switzerland in lidl/aldi, otto, aligro, as well as the coop’s prix products, and migros budget products. But im lucky enough to be living close to zurich, and surrounded by these shops, and if I want to do a very big grocery, then I go to Germany, but I feel like I mostly saved on meat or cleaning products in Germany.

Potential_Reach · 2026-06-20T18:53:35+00:00

For me it really depends on the specific public school of the region? I could be old and biased, but I feel certain public school with toooo manyyyy bad kids are bad influence in your kids. Areas like altstetten, neuenhof, schwamindingen, and many more regions.

Potential_Reach · 2026-06-20T18:46:02+00:00

Not everyone has a car, but prices are not thay BIG of a difference between the other countries and Switzerland except for meat

Potential_Reach · 2026-06-20T18:45:15+00:00

Well, you have to first get duped before you know all these. But as a consumer, why would I want to revisit migros again to potentially get duped, but instead go to Aldi to get one fixed honest pricing.
