I mean it sure depends on how much you make but this could still easily fall into 'who cares if you pay $500 more for something when you pay half of the taxes'

  If Swiss daycare is anywhere like Seattle's, for 2 kids 1 year would cost $50K, which is a high percentage on its own all the way up until $200K income. And for FAT retiring low income taxes are compensated by wealth tax.

    $25k per child sounds about right for full-time child daycare here too. However my calculation is different let's say Germany or Luxembourg might be 'only' $15k that's 'just' a $10k difference (highly doubt it's so much less, especially at the same quality) Those $10k are more easily leveled out by a 20%+ tax difference. However children is a completely different topic anyway as different countries have totally different ways of helping parents monetary here in Europe. Most people here in Switzerland wouldn't actually pay the full $25k out of their own pockets.

      Why not full 25k?
