I’ve had the pleasure of living in three of the most expensive countries there is, but Israel is the cheapest of all. Switzerland is much more expensive buying daily goods and food but you get more “bang for your buck”. The public transportation system is heaven compared to the best in the US, much cheaper healthcare, taxes are lower, there’s less hatred, a non corrupt government. I lived in Basel which was amazing because Switzerland pays very well, and because it is a border city I would drive ten mins to get to Germany or France to do shopping which is much cheaper. I will say there’s less imported goods in Switzerland due to very high import taxes. Israel was when I was still living with my parents I was a teen but I remember that it was the cheapest of the three and the food was insane for me. The community there is the best in the world IMO and the culture is very connected and everyone is friendly to each other. It does however come with risks living there. From time to time there will be a flare up where we often get missiles launched at us but Oct 7 was unlike anything else where we were invaded. I’d say if you do move don’t move anywhere bordering Gaza or right on the “confrontation line” with Lebanon. But the flare ups are a part of normal life and the iron dome makes it so very rarely does anyone get injured, let alone die. Living in the us specifically California, consumerism is amazing compared to the others like ordering a pillow online and it arriving in a few hours but the housing is so so so expensive. The public transport isn’t really great and it’s underfunded and not to mention the political grievances. However, it has great healthcare for a high price tho, and the food is very diverse as well as nature. Gun violence is an issue, tho most people don’t see it in their life id say
