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.

You mean lower end for cheap cantons and upper end for expensive ones?

Your "chubby" might be somebody else's "lean" - also a seemingly simple, non-luxurious lifestyle can be expensive in Switzerland, having kids for example. Most people would probably consider 200-300k CHF pA withdrawal rate to be the start of "chubby" for a single, 3-500k CHF for a couple with perhaps one kid.

3-500k for a couple with 1 kid is a little absurd…what would they spend that money on…?
