    HELLO SWITZERLAND!!! This is perhaps the world’s most expensive country… so I wanted to challenge myself and see how fast I could spend $1,000 by doing normal tourist activities. That means eating at normal restaurants, sleeping at normal hotels, and visiting normal sights. Can you guess how many hours my $1,000 lasted? Hint: less than 24!
    I just want to say that Switzerland is a great country - so pristine and beautiful - l and I hope to be back here again very soon!

    I wouldn't say the sticker is to drive legally, it allows you to use the highway for an entire year. You don't pay tolls in Switzerland, so if you are a resident, it's quite cheap.

    • @EliasLabordus
      @EliasLabordus Před rokem +15

      But he does have a point that you will get a fine if you drive without one, thus making it illegal, right? But yeah it's not too bad. You just have to remember it when you cross Switzerland. Here in the Netherlands there is no tolls (except for a few highway tunnels in 'Old' Zealand). We do however pay a fee for every road using vehicle that you own. This will pay for the road maintenance, but also for services like getting you off the highway to a safe spot when you are stranded. All the best!

    If you ever come back to Spain please visit one of these:
    -Granada: the last city to be under control of the moors, it has a beautiful islamic palace that is a unesco world heritage site
    -País vasco: this region in northern Spain has its own language and culture(although spanish is more commonly spoken) the language is in no way related to any other language in the world, I think it could be interesting for a video. It also has the beautiful lush green landscapes and mountains that can be commonly found throughout the north.
    -Cádiz: THE oldest city in the country with nice beaches and lots of history
    -Ceuta/Melilla: these two spanish cities are just like any other spanish city but are actually in northern africa, this means it has the EU’s most fortified border. I think this could be interesting for a video.

      For longer stays you have to buy a Halbtax for 165 CHF (even possible as a foreigner) which will halve all your ticket prices which is very worth it. Expect 40 CHF to go the neighbour city next door (20 CHF with Halbtax) and 100 CHF if you travel from one city to another (50 CHF Halbtax), one way. It's all based on distance/ number of districts you travel through.

    What does $1,000 get you in Switzerland? A coffee. That's it.

    The first step to successful investing is figuring
    out your goals and risk tolerance - either on your own or with the help of a Financial Advisor. If you can get the facts about savings and investing with a well detailed plan, you should be able to gain financial security over the years and enjoy the benefits of managing your income.

      I think the pandemic have really taught
      people the importance of multiple streams
      of income, unfortunately having a job
      doesn't mean security.

      Successful people don't become wealthy
      overnight. What most people see as a
      lance wealth, a great career and luxury is a
      result of smart work.

      It's not how much money you save in the
      bank, but how much money you earn and
      how hard it works for you. Money devalue
      over time, investment is the best option as it
      grows over time

      @@eddiejohn8506 I think the key thing here is working with a
      professional. Yes people have devoted their
      lives to making profits in the market, but
      those of us who haven't but are interested in
      investing can simply work with them.
