ChubbyFIRE wealth level depending on residence canton

Hi there, I'm a 28M Spanish guy, and my wife and I recently decided to move within ~2 years to Switzerland for good (already started learning German and so on).

I know that there's no such a thing as a magic undisputed wealth number to be considered as ChubbyFIRE, but I'm curious how this approximate level can vary from canton to canton because of taxes, cost of living, home prices... Has someone any data about it?

Danke und LG.

This is a complex question and heavily depends on what you want to do here and where you want to do it. Are you able to share further details?

Yep, I think the messiest part is to quantify what "chubby" is. Let's say it is to have a net income from liquid assets that is 10x (?) the usual family expenses (taking into account children as well), including average mortgage payment.
