Those salaries, specially the Swiss ones, aren't that big after taxes, insurances, and the overall cost of living.

Yes, you might get 140K CHF, but be ready to pay 20 CHF for a meal that would be around 8 euro in neighbouring countries.

Let's also say 5 euros in neighbouring countries.

In Italy it might be possible, food is quite cheap here. Usually the "lunch voucher" we get as employees is 5,16 EUR

A pizza Margeritha for example, which would cost you around 16 CHF on the other side of the border.
