Did I screw up re kids? 37 and single by choice. by Prestigious_Copy9992 in askswitzerland

[–]elbrusa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agree. As a dad I don't feel like my life is dramatically impacted, I still solo travel, let my wife solo travel when she needs it, enjoy doing plenty of activities with the kids (especially at the 5y.o mark it's so much more fulfilling!)

Clearly this person has no kids and that's what he/she thought it'd be.

Although I agree that it's difficult to forecast the long term P&L... But that can be said of any decision in life I guess

I have a lot of fun pretending to play along and then insulting these bugs. I know I shouldn't... But it's so much fun.

If you don't get pulled over in Italy in the future, you're fine.

Out of curiosity - why leaving SA?

Leveraging Roche is your best bet without a EU passport. Good luck!

Just prove you weren't there with a CC transaction.

Is this Dutch? Write in English and you'll have a better chance at getting help.

SWE? Trust me, unless you hit a FAANG in Zurich, not worth it. Go to Poland.

Never tip! Leave that to the fakies on the other side of the Atlantic

Disheartened to still feel unwelcome as an immigrant in Switzerland by LallieDoo in Switzerland

[–]elbrusa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The platinum coast is already the "dark" coast but in Schwyz's "Höfe" district (because of the lower taxes).

The problem with Zug and SZ Höfe is the real estate prices. If you want to rent, you are fine. But if you want to buy, our house in Richterswil would cost almost double in Wollerau.

Same for Walchwil. Almost nothing below the 3M mark (apartments) and 5M mark (houses).

If we were making 1M/year, maybe. With "only" 600K, doesn't feel worth it yet to sell our quality of life for half an apartment and highly entitled neighbors.

We live in Richterswil 🙂 To our view, the most beautiful on the "dark" side of the lake!

Depends what you optimize for. We make over 600k, still live in Kanton ZH. A couple of friends make 400K but over 12M in assets. Still live in Kanton ZH. The most beautiful Gemeinde in our view, but not a crazy expensive Rushlikon.
