I want to find out whether it's just a stereotype. "Rich men in Switzerland" is the search term for happiness and a worry-free life.

I am so done living on $2,100 a month after taxes. Boston has gotten so expensive that all I can afford is a shared apartment with my friend Cindy. Together we have barely 650 square feet. Not great. Luckily we've gotten along wonderfully since kindergarten.

Now, I met Melanie in Mallorca on my last vacation. She's from Zurich and has invited me to visit this summer. Unbelievable, because she has a five-room apartment with a terrace, right in Zurich. She has a rich boyfriend and wants me to meet some real men.

Whether my prejudices are justified:

Rich men in Switzerland - what's behind it?

  • they earn more
  • Switzerland is expensive and the men have money
  • Zurich is an interesting place for men
  • Switzerland is sexy

We'll see about that. Either way, I'm incredibly excited about this great city. So far I only know it from two short day trips.

Cindy says: rich men in Switzerland spoil a woman

I always thought it was Russian men who spoil their women. According to Cindy, Swiss men do just the same. She says they treat their women better than other men do. I'm not so sure, maybe she's just blind to it! I'm curious whether she even knows enough rich men in Switzerland.

Mostly I'm visiting her and want to get to know this city. She definitely already has firm plans for me to meet rich men in Switzerland. We're going to three event parties and to some great restaurants. She also plans to take me to dinner at her tennis club, because there are two great guys there. One has been divorced for a year and is already on a dating site, the other has never been married. According to his own words, the time is ripe for him now.

I can hardly wait: meeting rich men in Switzerland

It's almost time and I'm packing my bags. Since she wants to go to great festivals, parties and events, I'm taking everything I own. Our place may be tiny, but I have lots of clothes. Now I can truly say it's my great luck. I have the right outfit for every possible occasion, and if I combine pieces well, it looks completely different and new every time.

I have a knack for outlet shopping and that really comes in handy now. On my last shopping trip I snagged a designer dress for $150.A dream of a beautiful, airy maxi dress. Rich men in Switzerland like beautiful women who know how to dress. I'll get it all right, because one thing I definitely have: style!
