I quit my job for a 'mini retirement' in Switzerland

The speaker discusses her decision to leave her job for what she calls a 'mini retirement' in Switzerland. She explains that by the time she left her company, the decision felt easy because she was highly motivated and had accumulated enough savings to sustain herself for an extended period. Financially, she and her partner maintain separate accounts and split expenses with her partner paying 65% and herself paying 35% of shared costs. Their monthly rent is $6,300, with her portion being approximately $2,200, which she considers reasonable for Switzerland given the location and quality. The couple values financial independence and deliberately keeps their finances separate. She provides a tour of their four-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment, highlighting features like the open kitchen that allows both partners to cook simultaneously, and two terraces that offer beautiful views. She particularly enjoys the smaller terrace where they spend hours drinking coffee in the morning, and appreciates the larger terrace for its sunset views. Throughout her description, she emphasizes the freedom and enjoyment that comes with their current living and financial arrangement.
