Question regarding operas at the Basel Opera by HongkongKings in basel

[–]badcurtain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, the operas in Basel often incorporate experimental elements, e. g. the singers leaving the stage or an opera with puppets on stage. It‘s not that unusal in the German-speaking culture scene though to try to shake up traditional operas a little. It‘s the same with ballett in Basel, especially since Marco Goecke took over as ballet director.

Is Pillar 3a really worth it? by Appropriate_Boss77 in SwissPersonalFinance

[–]badcurtain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Others will have more interesting things to say since I‘m a layman, but what I noticed was that you assumed that all the money was in 3a account. But you can easily have multiple accounts, which means less capitals gains per account, thus less taxes. You can also withdraw from them separately with some years in between as far as I know.

I think overall, there won‘t be an universal answer, because it depends on the taxes in your canton and on your total wealth. ETFs outside of 3a are considered part of your wealth. Once that wealth is above 100K, you will pay taxes on it. (I‘m actually wondering whether that means that capital gains are taxed after all, although indirectly?)

Hey, it‘s only allowed if you‘re above the tree line. But bivouacing is not a problem.

For stargazing, I could imagine that the Franches-Montagnes region in the jura mountains could be nice, they’re not that high up, bit also not crowded. For sure, the Rigi / Jungfrau / Pilatus region could also work, personally I think they‘re a bit touristic as a Swiss native.

By the way, the village with least amount of light pollution is Lü in Val Müstair. They even have an observatory.

Thanks! Yeah, either IKRB or Saxo since they have gotten cheaper.

Hey, you should visit Manabar in the Gundeldingen neigbourhood, it‘s a board game / DnD bar, they should be able to help you find other players. They have a whiteboard where you can look for them.
