im not sure about Switzerland, but there are areas in Germany, where you can.

I doubt that very much. Sure there's places where the rent is less, but there's no jobs there. So a very low rent will still be over 40% of your pay (ie. nothing)

  • Then maybe actually check places yourself?

    I am looking at a 4 room apartment in a very nice villa next to a small national park right now, for 560€, with a train going twice an hour 15 minutes ride to the town with my potential next job. (In germany)

    So salaries there are lower, but so is apparently rent. Way less than 40%, more like 20%.
