1700 SFR (something like 1450 Euro) for my 2 room-flat (something like 40 square meters I think). What is actually a good deal for the area I'm living (hipster area with lots of Cafés and Bars).
Actually very comparable to Copenhagen (A bit more expensive in Zürich), despite Denmark having rules and relegations, that prevents rent going thru the roof (on soem property).

Meh still coming out on top when i pay less than 1/2 the % of my paycheck in taxes that you do. And to be fair the rent i am paying is because of where i choose to live. A little over a year ago i was paying about 1/4 of my current rent

I used to pay 800 for an 85 square meters flat with a living room, bed room and bathroom.

I think you can get a very fancy place in Antwerp for 1450. That seems incredibly expensive.

We are in extreme shortage of housing in Copenhagen. A simple 60 square meter flat is easily close to 300.000€. A room (~10 square meter) for a student goes for around 600-700€

Good thing I bought my apartment 5 years ago €€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€ :baus:

It's just that your insurances don't compare at all to what we have.

Wouldn't wanna rely on yours if i was to get sersiously sick.
If you have insurance, you don't have to worry about anything. I had to pay $100 for an appendix surgery which is nothing. My mom paid nothing for a surgery she had to get. Insurance covered it all. It's when you don't have insurance that it becomes a problem.

I racked up a pretty steep medical bill once in college for a lengthy ER visit and some stitches.

Didnt die of any preventable infections and didnt go into crippling debt either. Paid about 75$ in total.

Or when you have bad insurance.

How bad are we talking? I was under the impression standard insurance covers whatever you may need besides experimental procedures.
Actually a lot of insurance is shit. Too expensive or when affordable there are high deductibles limited options, forced to stay within network etc.

The way to get good insurance for a good rate is to buy insurance through your employer
