Yeah, in Switzerland I live decently but I am not rich by any means. To visit friends I frequently travel to Germany and everytime I realise just how big a difference it is for many things.

In the beginning I always had the feeling of something wrong when going to a supermarket there, because for me the gap was so crazily big.

But wouldn't you also make less for the same job in Germany, making the relative ratio of income to cost not all that dissimilar?

Sort of, but zurich, basel, and geneva are right in the top 4-5 most expensive countries to live in on earth.

That is true, I only wanted to share my experience and provide some anecdotal evidence for the parent post :)
