then do not come to Switzerland, I had a burger yesterday in Zurich and I do not go out much either for the reason that I got reminded of yesterday:
40 bucks for a burger and a cider... I am still hurting, lol
I know we make more money here but still its painful
For me it will hopefully be the first steemfest and I should be able to afford this myself hence I will not try to take part of any of the contests, there are others with less (some even have to paint bars) that need those tickets more then me...

good luck on the contests and on the saving (hoping my small upvote helps you along the way)
