Hi Thread,
it isn't so difficult to understand this kind of things here

it is very simple indeed, in Schaffhausen you pay higher taxes, but the rents are much lower as in Zürich.....so , don't worry too much about

btw, Schaffhausen is very special and has a lots of pitoresk places to see, the people there are close to country people and if they like you , you'll feel like at home ....I guess you will like this little place....and if not, then feel free to ask for a little helping hand

have a nice start into the new week
greetings from
