>>13354548i'm swiss and living in the area arround zurich (swiss biggest city but not capital)
anyway as i am in my early 20's i make about 5.2k now after finnishing my apprenticeship
i can afford living alone and pay 1.6k for some small but modern appartment near the outskirts of the city
also i pay about 700 for all the obligatory insurances (it's a lot but i can't get it cheaper because they don't accept people with bad health for cheap)
food is about 600 but i could get it cheaper if i tried
at the end of the year you have to pay taxes wich is about 7% of the money you made in the whole year
i pay also a lot for communication (350 per month including smartphone and shit)
i work about 50 hours a week with 5 weeks of vacation per year you also have to consider there are many other costs for example i pay 2.4k just for public transport per year and i even have to pay for disposal of trash and shit
the insurances are obligatory btw
