But still, how would you know its his bank statement? It could still be someone else's bank statement with the details deleted or blanked out?

I think he needs to prove this to us that he has this much money! Its our right as advisers!

Im gonna have a field day next time someone asks for a relationship or dating advice!!!

I'd be sufficiently satisfied if he provided a picture of anyone's bank statement showing 400k in it to be honest

As for the screenshot, it would probably have the date on it somewhere. Of course I can't absolutely prove it's his but it would be enough for me I'm a simple guy.

But I don't think he has the money and I think a lot of people are wasting their time PMing him to feed his ego with their business ideas.

Oh wow, this thread is still going.
Ah well, finances, always a little complicated to be rich eh ... in little Swissieland.

Phil_MCR offered to let you live in his annex in exchange for 400k. You then said you would take him up on it but pay 100k:

Wondered why I got no reply. The Nigerian type scam is probably my genuine offer! I have a multi apartment house in Adliswil 5 mis walk from main train station. Typical Apartment rent is 1400pcm according to an agent. I was offering you an apartment in exchange for the interest on 100k secured loan for between 6 months and 2 year deal. Ideally 2 years. I would pay notary fees for registering the charge on the property at the land registry. Such a deal would be a no-brainer for me for various reasons.

happy now?

I wasn't asking for yours

I am single, no kids/divorcees, similar in age... and I will NEVER have that much money sitting in the bank at one time unless I win the lotto. Knowing I have money not buying anything just makes my skin crawl. Personally I hate saving and investing (my eyes even glaze over the minute someone says "stocks" or "portfolio").

So... I agree with an earlier poster.... go around the world and have fun. Because true, it won't buy you anything in Switzerland, but the other 200k could certainly buy you a vacation home someplace else, like a nice SFH with a pool in Kansas. Why you'd want to vacation in Kansas is beyond my comprehension though.

Or you could just move in with me and take care of my dogs. I won't charge you. haha!

Just a suggestion.

I know. I was just showing off.

(my webpage editing skills)

Phil I did try to PM you but I got some error message saying that your PM was disabled.

Secondly do people really think I would give 100k just like that to people I don't know anything about? Written contract or not even with good friends and family I would think twice before investing in any joint scheme. Strangers on an online forum? No chance!

P1909 you are right I have only CHF40 in my bank account. Just checked it's actually CHF4 now. Makes you feel better? Good can we move on now?

Final decision- To conclude I have decided to buy property outside Switzerland. Will cost me around CHF160-200k. Remaining 200K I will split between two banks. Thanks everyone for your time.

A wise decision buying property, you will not be left disappointed.

Buy nothing. Continue to do nothing except try to get a job. You are confused but I can tell you, money is nice to have but it itself won't make you happy.

Forget about the money and get a job where you can meet new people, feel useful and sustain your lifestyle. That will make you happy.

Thanks for the update and your final decision

If I may ask, what type of place did you/do you want to you get and in what region? South of France in a quiet little town on a lake etc? .

Either way, congratulations and enjoy!
