Hey guys if you wanna see the costs of living for other cities i visited check out my channel and thanks for the feedbacks :)
costoflivingin thank you for your videos👍🏼
How about Austria
You did not give a total per month and per year cost of living. You should provide this as it will be easier for you to do rather than expecting us the viewer to do it.
He did provide a total per month, at minute 4:53, it´s about 2.5K USD
denner is cheaper then Aldi :) if u look to the Prices of the meat denner is way more cheaper
Bottled water in Switzerland???!!! The water is one of the best quality in the world!
+Orpheas Nestos Well it actually depends in which city, for example zurich has alot of limestone in its water but it's drinkable. I prefer bottled water but if you think that it's a waste of money of course you can drink tap water...
costoflivingin Thanks for the reply . I would probably not drink the water in Zurich.
water in zürich is of exceptionally high quality as the sea it is sourced from has already almost drinkable water. it has just the right amount of minerals in it to make it tasty without getting gross.
costoflivingin can always use a quality filter system.
Depends how high up the water table you are to the glacial sources.
I was born in Switzerland and never thought of the country as very special. I left at a young age and live now still far away. I travelled the world . met loads of people rating Switzerland as the most beautiful country they know. today 20 years later I'm convinced. Yes my Switzerland you are beautiful and Zürich you are the best
You are blessed.
But the People around here are trash.
I'm a French guy, born in Lyon, raised in Lille. I traveled a lot, lived a year in NYC, where I met my GF, who's actually from Zh.
After 6 years of a long distance relationship, I moved to Zh 2 years ago to work and live here with her. We now have our own apartment in Thalwil (a small but really nice village alongside the lake) with a balcony and the lake of Zh for a view, 1 minute away from our building actually.
Don't mistake me, I love my country, I love its culture, its History. I think it is one of the country (if not the only one) that offers the most beautiful and varied landscapes, with a food culture, art culture, historical culture and all that (Italy comes really close).
But Gosh do I love living here! Mountains and lakes are gorgeous, people are respectful and polite, the streets are clean and well-kept. Yes, things are expensive, but salaries are also high, which is a luxury when you travel abroad, because everything seems so cheap.
There's a respect for traditions and yet an appeal for modernity.
I always compare Switzerland with Japan. A western Europeanized version of it.
When I go back to visit my family or friends, as soon as I step in Paris, where I have to transfer to another train to reach Lille, I am always saddened to see what is becoming of this city, and of the general state of my country in general.
I am in love with Zürich, really. The only other city I would say I love as much (for complete different reasons) is New-York.
Want to swap nationalities ?!? I'm British. My no. is +44 7563412960
Zurich is not the best. It is way to rushed and eg lucern is better
Meaning most foreigners think of Switzerland as Zürich but Swiss people don’t.
George could buy an espresso machine and start saving after his first year
ha ha so true :), and rent a bike instead of UBER
I spent a day trip, in Geneva, Switzerland, back in 2012. Switzerland is beautiful. It did seem like things were a little costly, but beautiful. I definitely want to return to Switzerland and see the eastern side. Zurich would be a dream trip. Greetings to all from Kentucky, in the U.S.A.
derek a dont waste your time. Switzerland is nothing than very expensive. If you want Nature go to northern usa or Canada has the same that swiss will show you but bigger...
@@GQstyless Utter Bullshit
Go to Luzern. Way prettier than Zürich
@gracefully unknown I live in Italy and I been going up every summer since 2010, worth every experience, amazing place amazing people, so diverse mixed and with no problems.
I stopped watching after you went to a Aldi to buy bottled water. The water quality in switzerland is so good, no one has to buy bottled water. And if you really wanna see what a swiss shop costs go to migros or coop, aldi is from germany.
some ppl just prefer sparkling water
Maybe you want to buy something more than just water for example a coke and you‘ll need to pay ~1CHF more per liter. Or if you buy cheap cola then around 0.3CHF more.
stfu bünzli
In Switzerland we also have Aldi. I'm showing the price of water so people have an idea of how much things cost in CH. So please if you don't know stuff just don't comment or think twice about what you're writing...
costoflivingin Stimmt eigentlich schon. Aldi's findet man nicht wirklich oft in Züri, aber Coop & Migros hat's überall. Zum Teil stehen dort noch die deutschen Preise...+ lebe in Zürich.
Nice video! But you forgot to calculate the other 29 days worth of beer
if person need to drink every day he should consider changing his life completely - change his job, place of living, partner and so on.

Very informative video , i loved this format of video ( george ) . All the best !
This video is very informative! Thank you so much!
Thank you for video!!! It's very useful and informative!!
As someone who grew up in Zurich and who has lived here all my life hearing and seeing people buy water is just not at all understandable to me. Someone has pointed out that our water "has the highest cocaine content in the world"; yes we do but that's not the drinking water. I understand that people who didn't grow up here are scared to drink tap water without filtering and boiling all hell out of it, but that's not necessary here. We have fountains everywhere in the cities that all provide clean well drinkable water straight from the well. We also have some of the best infrastructure in the world and with that comes very clean water. Anyone interested in the sewage system and water cleaning should really read into it. So instead of always pointing out the bad things about Switzerland, perhaps people should also look at the good sides.
Yes Zurich is hella expensive for people who don't live and earn their money here but with the high income and the great infrastructure everything gets evened out. Anyone who has ever been in one of the bigger cities in Switzerland like Zurich will have noticed how clean everything is. We also have an exceptionally low crime and unemployment rate and an extremely low rate of homelessness. Infact the only way you can land out on the streets is if you refuse all help from the government and choose to live on the streets yourself.
When can people stop bashing Switzerland?
the world: fountain has a sign if water is drinkable
switzerland: fountain has a sign if water is NOT drinkable
we should be very thankful for that...
No one is bashing Switzerland, we know it's a great place to live in, forget about the haters.
bigboy Why is this a thing? 25% of the swiss population is not swiss (thats one of the highest worldwide) and we have no problem. Maybe the governement in other countries is the problem...
(Sry for mistakes)

I live there as a Student and spend about 1200.-/ month. I don’t pay tax, and don’t buy a lot of things, try to buy second hand, local food. Also as a student I could find a pretty big flat with 2 other students for 460.-/month
Many people complain the high cost of Zurich... In Frankfurt am Main (Germany) you can apply the prices almost 1:1 and people here earn on average half or less than in Switzerland!
Great video, eventhough not all points like uber (CH has awesome puplic transportation), meat and coffee consume fit exactly to most people's behaviour.
In the U.S. it is retired people who get discounts. Students pay thru the nose for College in the U.S.
Apartments in Switzerland appear to be quit expensive, but then you have limited space.
Thanks for the video, George.
Hey! It was very nice this video! Good job :)
I had very enjoyable time when i was watching your video Goerge !
Love your channel ! thank you!!
It's actually not that bad. You're expected to pay the same here in San Diego, CA. Sure it's expensive but no crazy expensive as i previously thought. Nice video btw.
When ZU”RICH” is in the cities name, you know it’s going to be expensive! 😉
Francisco Benavidez bad joke
I liked it, good joke! 😁

Good video man!
I lived in Zurich for two years. I live in San Diego California now. Yes Zurich is expensive but so is San Diego California. But I really love Zurich. I really enjoyed the time that I spent there.
Would your recommend me to take the shot an move to Zürich? I got a new job and place to live but regret not taking the job i was offered in switzerland. IM about to quit and sell My stuff and just feel free and move and do something new with My life

Thnx a lot bro for sharing important information
That was a very nice video, Danke Veil Mal
Thank you for your video and information my friend
Just to say: *ALDI and LIDL are German brands........that's why is quite ''cheap''* ...... and because of the exchange rates......
When you go to *''Swiss brands'' like Migros and Coop* are the *prices quite different.*
1 CHF - 1.0104 USD (ungefähr)
Those .0104 are very 'important' even if it's just .0002 or others. It makes a lot of difference
Generally is Switzerland an ''expensive'' country! - train tickets, foods, flats, health care/insurance, ...
When somebody says: '' Switzerland is cheap''' that's....not...true.
Swanmi que Mirgos isch läbe
Coop isch besser. #Coopchind
elizabeta beilschmidt wieso nöd beides? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ bin als migros chind ufgwachse aber gang immer i das wo grad nöchher isch.
Yes health insurance is expensive but cost per each treatment is cost controlled. Way cheaper than doctors in San Diego California
Really, you start with the worst grocery store you can find in switzerland. Migros and Coop are the main stores for food!!!
Very useful video. Are there any boarding houses for international students in Zurich. What will it cost permonth approximately ? Thx a lot
Nice info from a local person!
It seems living there is very expensive, but the city also looks amazing!
How about the weather there? is it very cold during winter?
But IS there any housing to be found in those cheaper areas, or do newcomers have to rent in ... Slovakia? Because any "high quality of life" city Ive been to has treated me with weeks and months of housing anxiety, apparments that disappear 1 minute before they are advertised on the internet or the local paper, etc
This is very common in Switzerland. You have to concentrate on finding an apartment for two or three weeks without thinking about anything else...
wow great video George
very well explained
Really nice video!
Daniele Rigoni if you live in zurich for your whole life... the information he sometimes gives is so bs

Lmao switzerland is expensive😂😂
Thanks for the video. Around 4:00 you suggested some places in zurich which has lower rent can you please list them? I am sorry I dont know german and different areas of Zurich.
Wollishofen, oerlikon, altstetten, escher wyss or weinegg.
Wine is an interesting subject at Aldi. Sometimes you can get what I think may be “excedents ” from top-level vineyards at low prices, at least good Cotes du Rhône.
Awesome👌👌👍👍
Limestone is good for drinking but bad for the coffemaschine. The water in Zürich is really good quality and you don't need to buy bottled water, unless you want bubbles in it.
Thanks for the informative video. By the way do you have any information on how to obtain teaching jobs in Zurich private schools? what are the payscales? Are there any teachers from India or Pakistan that you have ever seen in Zurich yourself?
4:15 I had problems finding an affordable apartment in town so I got a nice cheap flat in adliswil
Thank's, it's usefull budy

I live in switzerland also in zürich for 4 years and its not as expensive as you think sorry if im wrong lol because i dont know the prices in other prisec
hi L live in Australia and appears the cost of leaving is similar...is there any Medicare or similar or just private health insurance ??
I will say one thing, I’ve never been there and can’t afford to travel there because I’m a working poor American. However, I will say one thing, Zurich, from first sight, seems like a very beautiful, clean city. I wish the American cities were as clean and beautiful as Zurich. But, then again, Zurich doesn’t have the bred of animals we have here along with the outrageous crime.
There is no need to become involved in criminal activities. There are god opportunities for jobs and a good social system which will help you if you are going through a though time.
Thank you !
But you dont go to aldi actually alot of people go too migros and coop
These prices are very optimistic, and at times very minimalist. I live in Zurich. Even outside of the city centre that is pretty optimistic for rent. You mentioned that going out for a party costs 50 bucks, but assuming George is a single man with time and a social life, eating out and drinking costs (which have not been included in the assessment) would also pile on.
he is simple man

what is the insurance provider in the vid?
How much would "George" spend for monthly bills like electricity, heating, water and garbage? Also how much does it cost to rent a tennis court for 1 hour?
In switzerland you don't need to buy bottled water and public transportation are good enough to not take a uber. I would even say that you are just as fast with the trams an busses.
Where are you from originaly? Is this cool accent from Switerland? :-)
My mother tongue is Italian but I was raised bilingual (German), so it's probably a mix haha. I'll take it as a compliment ;)
pls make a video on cost of education in Zurich
Prices are extremely comparable to the United States rent is a little cheaper where I live but I don't have access to public transportation so I have to have a car gas repair bills and insurance but rent is a little more expensive in New York City or Los Angeles but they have better public transportation
As an international student, I spend around 1200 CHF every month including rent
can you pls elaborate more thx

I've researched and found that Softwere Devs. make ruffly 7000 CHF per month, is this a normal salary, and can a single man with this salary ,only spend 3000 CHF per month by living humble?? :)
Good but you have forgotten the high taxes you have to pay every year. For an income of 3000 swiss francs / month it seems like 4500 swiss franc each year. its different on every city or village in Switzerland. so please add to this costs CHF 375 or more. In my city you have to pay 450 swiss francs every month with this small income :(
Thanks for the advice!
Anyone not familiar with real expenses of living in Switzerland, take this video with a grain of salt. The numbers don’t equate to a nice lifestyle at all! Insurance on average is double what’s stated and is getting more expensive. Taxes were not included and for one, the Swiss franc and the dollar isn’t 1to1 and wasn’t when the video was posted as I track the rates due to personal finance. There’s so much more but you get the drift.
so should everyone take your comment qith a grain of salt ;)
I would think tap water is clean in Zurich and therefore a much better choice than buying bottled...
I’m moving to Zurich this year from the uk

The tab water in Zurich City is the best in the world. It's just a fact. I'll never comprehend why people would spend money for still water here. But you got it quite right. 2.5K a month is the perfect average. Great video overall.

costofliving in Lucern a month? In indian Rs pls.
George must be the most frugal guy in the Western hemisphere; your calculations are basically correct but it takes an enormous amount of self discipline to always pick up the cheapest option. And if you relax a bit in only one respect (e.g. rent,or going out, or see a doctor), your monthly costs will easily leap to over CHF/USD 3000. I think it's safer to put the minimum monthly costs at CHF 3000. But you can easily spend doubly as much without doing anything special.
good realistic video.
I don't know how much the average swiss make but those cost of living is insane. Most people these days that are from rich countries even try to live in lower cost countries and do not work at all since they are earning passive income and the conversion rates help them.
