@redeemed76 Gouzi00:As I laid out the above is based on a budget for the
average family of 4 living on what most people in Switzerland would have in their live. I specifially mentioned that yes, as always you can shave off costs if you reduce things to the absolute minimum, depending on your needs and preferences.
But the price is reasonable:I would not like having no TV OR Internet/Wifi at home with 2 Kids!(I have no TV but good internet and Netflix for the kids which ends up costing some 35CHF/month)
I couldn't (easily) find "unlimited" internet for less than 12.95/mt and that is some lidl (maybe BlackFriday deals are better?)
So in the end it comes down to Convenience and Prefererence. You can slash the budget post to almost half and still stay quite decent. You can slash it to a quarter and get the bare minimum if this is not something you care about.
I would assume that money will flow to other things you do care about.
Budgets are starting points that you adjust to your life. It is useless to criticize one part of the budget only as it is always a whole.
