      Switzerland and Norway. At least in Switzerland the taxes are low and salaries high, but wonder how Norwegians survive with 50% taxes and those crazy prices. Not to mention the weather.

      Norway is very very expensive in terms of everything. After pandemi it has become even more expensive and interest rates on housing loans are doubled up and will be tripled up in next month. Person spends a lot on daily grocery shopping.

    I'm surprised. Those rents are still a lot cheaper than NYC. You can't even get a roommate for USD1,200 in NY. Actually all of it is much cheaper than NYC. I was expecting it to be a lot more expensive. I rent my 44sq meter studio in Brooklyn for $3,000 USD. I've always been able to get a tenant. I've seen other studios in my building go for $3,400.00

      I’m not surprised. I mean there’s more people in NYC than the entire country of Switzerland. Go figure!
      Zurich is most comparable to Miami for its size and population density. Also comparable to Chicago for population density. You can get a 2 bedroom apartment easily in a fancy building in Chicago with the monthly rent you pay for a studio flat in Manhattan.

    Thanks for the informative program on cost of living in Switzerland. I have seen many scenic videos of your country and it is very beautiful specially in the tourist destinations. Many Swiss and Scandinavian people are moving to Australia because of our warmer climate, beautiful natural landscape, beaches, quality housing, high standard of education, health, infrastructure and well paid job opportunities. We are also very neutral political country and people from Europe, Asia and North America have adopted this country as their new motherland. We have natural snow fields, oldest rain forest (Danetree) and temperate vegetation. There is an average of 2426 hours of sunlight per year in Sydney (of a possible 4383) with an average of 6:38 of sunlight per day. It is sunny 55.4% of daylight hours. The remaining 44.6% of daylight hours are cloudy or with shade, haze or low sun intensity. You will love it here because you will feel alive (no dark cold winters here).
    Our cost of living is nothing like in Switzerland even though at present it is higher than normal. I believe Switzerland is over-rated country for it has to offer its citizens. Our GDP is much larger than your country. Also, we don't have any have nuclear powered power plants in Australia unlike four in your country. So Chernobyl disaster will never happen here. Here is a glimpse of Australia ruclips.net/video/v6-51yRkVbk/видео.html. Thanks.

    Housing here in Switzerland is getting out of control. 2024 will bringing more increase in the costs and I don't know who will be able to keep up with this game here. Salaries are not accompaning this trends, since the competition is also getting high and new people coming here are willing to make big sacrfices to stay in the big cities, accepting lower salaries.
    And those who are still getting seduced by the "low taxes" here, get ready for the insane cost of living, since the country makes sure you will spend a lot of money to stay here. They are not stupid.
    And this whole situation drives the locals crazy, because they say it's the foreigners' fault that it is so expensive to live here.

      @@claudiaandjan Cuz its like 450chf for a month on a small sallary before you apply for lowering it down. When they lower your health insurance then it is ok. It can be like 10chf per month. So see the difference in 450 vs 10chf. I came from a 2nd world country where my employer was paying my health security from brutto sallary, and it was 30 euros per month and it covered almost everything. At around 26, I was in hospital for around 25-30 days, two operations and I was insured by my dad as a student. I paid 0$ for that. I really don't know what would happen if that is situation here.

I am considering to move Switzerland or Denmark, i am confused to choose between Switzerland or Denmark, as you lived in Denmark too, please advise me that which country I should move? I am Portuguese citizen. My purpose is to live and work and would love to live there long term and raise my kids there, so according to your opinion which country is the best, Switzerland or Denmark. Your advice will be highly appreciated. Thank you, I am waiting for your answer

      Hi Muhammad. Thank you very much for your kind comment. This is a very hard question, as both countries offer unique opportunities. Switzerland is a beautiful country where you will be able to have plenty of career opportunities, whereas Denmark offers incredible benefits to those who want to create a family. It also offers an amazing balance between life and work, which sometimes Switzerland (or Zurich) might not offer, as people focus quite a lot in their professional life. Additionally, Denmark has great beaches, while Switzerland has dreamy lakes and mountains. Best of luck with your decision. Any of them will bring you great adventures ⭐️

    Basically Switzerland is an expensive hotel where you think you are making more money (due to „low“ taxes) than anywhere else for such high standards, but this is just a catch. The amount of money you will have to pay for the rest is just insane. And if you believe that sharing an apartment with four or five people, to be able to afford to live in the city, there’s nothing to discuss then.
    And just for information: salaries in Zurich are getting substantially lower, due to the amount of people in the city. There are so many people willing to accept anything just to stay in the city and the market here is not stupid.
    Costs are getting higher and higher every year, salaries are not following this trend, and I wonder who will be able to afford to stay here from now on.

    How much do the jobs there pay their citizens to live at a high rate? That's what I need to know. Yes, everything is costly but is it balanced out with high paying incomes from stable jobs? In the states, in California, it's not only expensive to live you also don't get paid enough money to live here. Unless you're in the tech industry, it's hard to live here on a minimum wage jobs. No matter how much you work you're never able to sufficiently afford the cost of living here. How does the cost of living balance out with the income made by the people who live in Switzerland?

    Guys, wait...
    You are mixing things up a bit with housing costs.
    Big part of the apartments you show are furnished apartments. Those are SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive than those unfurnished.
    Most apartments on the market comes empty with fully finished bathroom and kitchen (with all the appliances). You need to get your own furniture.
    Also, you are showing fancy apartments in the most expensive spots of the city with some good views.
    Prices of such apartments are artificially pumped up as the owner hopes to find someone who's gonna pay that kind of money (and they do find them unfortunately!)
    Yes, housing is expensive in Switzerland, especially in Zurich and Geneva but if I would compare it to prices let's say in London or Dublin, you get much better value for your money in Swiss. I lived in those cities so I have a pretty good overview.
    Also, videos like this seems to imply that everyone lives in biggest Swiss cities. And this is not true at all. Vast majority of people live in small towns and villages up to 30 mins by train around those bigger cities. Prices there are sometimes much lower and I would strongly argue who enjoys better quality of life. Of course you don't get cinemas and bigger shopping malls but do you need them every day? Or even week?
    For young people and couples, yeah... It's more fun to live in bigger city but as you grow older and especially when you get kids, your priorities change drastically. You can live in big city in nearly every developed country and still have fun there but Switzerland is all about countryside in true.

      Living in the countryside is much more affordable. For example, for 1200 you can get a simple 3 room apartment. Because of the food prices: Migros is one of the two big discounters, but not the cheapest. Food quality is generally very high. Also: Switzerland has an excellent railroad network. You can easily and comfortably go to Zurich at any time. I also live in the countryside and can't understand why people always want to go to Zurich.

      We have so much demand of reliable appartments in Zürich… and „normal“ people can‘t afford a convienient appartement, because of expats are paying any price to assure their benefits.
      So i think this is more a social political problem than yours…

We are living in Zurich where 25 CHF for a pizza is a pretty normal price 😀 Yes Switzerland and EU are not the same, but very close to each other and a lot of people from EU come to Switzerland. Most of us think in the scale of where we are raised hence it is just natural to compare to your home country. You probably also compare in your head sometimes the prices, when you are outside of your home town for e.g. vacations 😀☀️ Have a great week and best wishes 😀
