Having a child in Switzerland is not worth it, as with the loss of income from my wife, nothing can be saved anymore. Switzerland is by far not as child-friendly as Germany, and without family nearby who can partially take care of the childcare, it is extremely difficult.
Waiting forever with the child is also not an option for my wife.
After my training 8 years ago, I immediately earned 36,000 gross. After 6 months, we moved to Switzerland, where I have now almost doubled my starting Swiss salary. So I don’t believe that I would only get 42pa.
We have basically already secured financing of 480,000. The interest rates are not the best, but we are only committing for 5 years and then will reassess the situation. If I’m lucky, I can continue my current job remotely as a freelancer, which would make it super easy. However, freelancers do not get loans, so we would have to finance now to keep this option open at all.
