      i love your videos!!! would love to see opinions of pet owners in zurich - i heard the swiss require pet owners to take some classes before adopting. i am curious what happens when expats who are pet owners come to switzerland. also, how about the vet costs and frequency of visits/vaccines, etc.?

    There is an ISP in Swiss that provide a 25Gbps internet for home use at 77 CHF per month.
    Compared to anywhere else in the world, that might be the cheapest. Speed compare to price.

      @@anaskaizen1My suggestion: Go work in Zurich but take a living place in the vicinity of it where living is cheaper (like for example Baden, Dietikon or Spreitenbach). That way you can save up more since Zurich has the highest wage (of the cities you mentioned) and the suburbs have a lower cost of living.

    I dont live in Zurich and my fixed costs are around 2K with 500 Francs "fun money" per month. However in the future if i dont worry about saving up my money i would prefer living in Zurich or another "big" city like Basel. Its definitely worth some money to enjoy the benefits of living in a city, especially once you got kids.

      It is enough barely if you decide to live in a shared apartment. Rent could be then 1200chf, food 300 to 400, health insurance 350, other expenses like electricity would be split but usually is 80 per month, mobile 30 to 40chf, internet wifi at home around 40 (but can go even higher to 80). When you go out to eat, a meal is around 20-24 cheapest, drinking is expensive.
