Because too many of those perfect plans go wrong.
And because, if my wife told me she'd expect me to follow her abroad as a trailing spouse and find a job that pays 150% of the median salary PDQ, I'd not be happy
Well I'm not.
I agree with what Tom said. And how can you be so sure that she can just easily find a job? Even for highly qualified trailing spouses it can be very tricky...
They are not rude at all. They are just things for you to think about which clearly you haven't yet. Your post shows that you don't know as much as you think you do and that you need to do a lot more research. Fore warned is... something I can't remember.
But you are right. No one is forced to answer. Take heart because even if no one answered, all your questions have been asked and answered on this very same forum.
Do a search. You don't have to spend decades on the PC. Just scroll down the page till you get to "similar threads".
PS, This the English forum: ie, English language, not English nationality. Most of us are in fact not British.
I think it is like everywhere else. It is NOT easy.
And I am down to earth on that, and so is she. We have contingency plans, and we are not doing it so blindly.
Now, every one says search: I did search before I even joined. And I put results of my search, and I was asking what might have missed .
And then started the weird talks, as if some anger management class has been missed.
Now, even among veterans here, people still give different opinions AND numbers. So how can anyone think that by searching the forum only, you get all answers?
If that is the case than a summary of the forum would be enough and no need to open discussions.
I appreciate all the constructive replies, and this topic was not meant to be a punching ball for others on me, or "same old retarded questions" for other...
So thank you for all those who answered and gave me proper infos.
Have you uploaded your excel sheet yet?
I've supplied my tax sheet to a few folks on here in the past, I've now been inspired to make a sticky in the tax section.
not sure if the wife salary is included in the 140k or if she has a similar salary. if the latter, you might want to consider getting divorced to reduce your taxes!
Are you mad? You really want me dead!
Her salary is not included. Trust me, I prefer to pay taxes but not anger a woman!
"Love has no price"
Not yet, I am just checking what one person posted earlier on how to upload things
You obviously don't have too much idea about living here, and you now say your Excel is the bees' knees.....
If you budget every Chf 30 x2 expense it must be VERY big !
I truely don't care about your opinion.
Get lost!
Do you really think anybody cares about your spreadsheet ?...
Put your toys back in the pram
They would care more about the sheet, than about the porky twat that you are...
I shall call you from now on Lard All Mighty: tips 4000CHF a meal, a legend in Switzerland
hehehehe
I'm here........you're not yet and with that attitude won't belong before your leaving.
No need to be rude. As you yourself said in one of your previous posts.
HI Ragnar78,
140K is more than enought to have a good quality life in Zurich.
The basic expenses go up until 50k-70k so you will still have 70K to extra things, restaurants, fitness center ...
Sure lard boy, sure...
To a certain extent. I'm not gonna be talked down by a rabid dog.
Read carefully the threads and you might change your mind
Thank you for your comment. I hope it will be
Well, I did that before I replied.
No, afraid not.
But anyway, good luck with your plans.
There are many trolls here. Just ignore them and move on.
I find it amusing that people who are sick of your question which is 'one of those generic questions asked many times', actually gave a damn to reply. If it annoys one, why bother spending a few minutes on this annoyance?
Anyways, it's a good salary, can live and can save. You're definitely not at the bottom rung of the income scale. The minimum needed to survive appears to be CHF 2.5k a month per adult.
What's the purpose of this? You planning to make an investment somewhere so you need to know how much you can save? Or just wanna know if you can survive?
