Looking at the costs of things in countries that are less expensive and I think to myself ah so this is how Swiss people feel looking at every other country
I’ve got family from Switzerland and whenever they come to the US they arrive with suitcases full of clothes and other things that they want to throw away and they leave them here and fill them up again with a ton of stuff that they buy in the US. They always spend half of their time here shopping and I never quite understood that but then I started looking at what stuff costs in like Thailand and China and whatnot and I was like oh okay. I see. The entire world looks like this to them.
If you’re from like, say, literally anywhere, literally everything in Switzerland costs too much. Swiss people get annoyed at everyone saying that but it’s true and that’s why people say it. So nobody’s gonna stop saying it.
Swiss people do generally get paid enough to live in Switzerland though. So they go almost literally anywhere else and it’s like throwing pennies around. A Swiss person living in a studio apartment in Zurich could probably afford to buy your house and also you.
