And this is the National Institute of Economic and Social Research prediction for the next five years... you guessed it 4.5% down by the end of this year and 10.5% by 2015 after inflation has been accounted for... (which means that depending on what inflation will be the price might not necessarily change but the money you get is not worth as much as it did a few years before...)
food for thought... | The following 3 users would like to thank The_Love_Doctor for this useful post: | |

I am off to book a cheap holiday as I can't pick an investment direction yet. Meanwhile Post Finance can hold on to my money for bit longer.

also our fellow said that he is a free spirit and doesn't really need any advice on new things to try etc
we are merely philosophising on what he should do with CHF400k
maybe the title could be changed to reflect the reality... | This user would like to thank The_Love_Doctor for this useful post: | |

You could volunteer to work with your favourite charity organization or somewhere you find by yourself (teaching English or something) in Nepal. Meanwhile get an apartment/parking spaces or something in or near Zürich to rent out.
There's so much you could do
On a more subjective note, long term relationships are extremely rewarding. Don't underestimate the value of having a partner to share your life with. Men benefit particularly from it, so I've read. Maybe this is the cause of your need for a reevaluation? \2cents

I don't know why people are so against non long term sexual relationships? There is nothing more spiritual than consensual sex in my humble opinion.

Sorry, I've had to pick up the pieces of a friend who was hopelessly attracted to the "I'm a free spirit" types who are actually looking for a no strings attached shag.

There is no point in a lifetime of regrets after a quick drunken fumble.
Be it herpies, unwanted pregnancies, or a dreadfully broken spirit.
But i am sure you know what you are doing...

| | Re: Reevaluating my life and need advice please. | Quote: | |  | | | It is not easy. Lots of new blocks going up with parking as competition.
People are moving away from personal cars, especially as public transport improves, Mobility type schemes get better and oil prices rise. Once interest rates start to rise, 6% might not look so attractive for an asset in decline. You might have to sell on with 8% yield. Properties in former East Germany
can yield 20% easily. Yield and possibility for capital gain. I wouldn't necessarily advise that though. | | | | | About "Properties in former East Germany can yield 20% easily."
20% yield in euros that have declined 20% in value against the CHF recently? So I would have made nothing?
