Hi Folks,

I maywell feel the EF rath for this question but in your opinion do the below deductions from a 70K salary look correct.

Also is this managable for a sensible life style for a 26 year old? I have been reading some postings and some state it is on par with a student lifestlye and others say it's doable.

Any help much appreciated.

Tax looks high, my salary is higher with lower tax. But it could be true.

Is salary 12 or 13 times?

Food is way too high, unless your eating out a lot. Myself and my partner spend 600-800 a month, that's for 2 of us.

It's enough to live on, if your out of the city like me. My salary is barely more than yours and I live quite comfortably, but I do live in the sticks.

Cheers

Looks reasonable, and it's perfectly doable.

In fact, it's not a bad salary at all.

Agreed. It's perfectly doable, especially when you consider that you could realistically halve your estimated food bill and still probably put on weight

Cheers guys. I'm Looking to move in the next week or so....i'll be on here quite a bit.

Chat soon

I struggle to get by on 320k, but then again, the markup on cocaine is ridiculous here.

Tell me about it, the hookers ain't cheap either.

don't even get me started on trying to make it rain in the strip clubs with coins. smallest paper currency being 10 francs can really cut fast into your strip club rainmaking budget.

And that is before you start asking for "special services"

You did ask for it..................

You just need to see prices in proportion, like in "The line costs as much as a pizza" or "The hooker only costs as much as a 20 kph speeding ticket".

I knew all along that something wasn't right with you..

if your in Kanton Zurich i think your tax will be lower , more like 9-10% most of the other looks good , maybe your food bill is high if you can cook , but if your eating out drinking posh wine then double it ....health care depends on your cover , i pay 220 for me with Swica .with good cover but a high limit (2000chf) .

12 weeks.. Better to use 13th month?

Which hookers you use then ?

I had to look it up: 20 kph too much within city limits already gets you a fine based on an assessment of your income. Pretty much like prostitutes, really...

If you say so old chap, i bow before your superior knowledge.....

No. On that salary you'll be taxed at source, so there'll be no benefit to having your salary in 13 instalments.

That's for the rich ******** (over 120K) who have to remember to pay their tax each year and find it useful to have a bit kept back for them.

I just use dead hookers - they're cheaper and don't talk back. Bit smelly though.

I beg to differ It's always nice to have a month when 2 salaries arrive at once - even if you are taxed like hell that month. I'm already considering what toys I'll buy with it in January
