Even though housing prices in the city center have fallen a lot recently, they can still steadily reach 60,000 yuan per square meter.
In other words, no matter how hard they work and how thrifty they are, they can only earn enough for one square meter of a small space in a year.
Ten years is ten square meters.
If they wanted to buy a small apartment just big enough for themselves, it would take them about 60 years of hard work and thrift to afford it.
At that time, they were already over eighty years old.
Why bother buying a house?
Why not just use the money you've saved to buy a cemetery plot?
What?
You ask why I don't take out a loan to buy a house?
Good idea.
However, the interest is basically the same as the principal.
What used to take 60 years to save money now takes 120 years.
The longest mortgage term is only 30 years.
That's fun.
A mortgage that would normally take 120 years to pay off can now be paid off in just 30 years!
The pressure is increasing dramatically!
Even if they didn't eat or drink, they still couldn't afford to pay their mortgage every month!
The result of doing this is that you'll die even faster!
If the loan is cancelled, you'll lose the house and the down payment.
All our efforts were in vain, and we lost everything!
Then you'd really be a complete clown!
Therefore, their only hope is to either become a senior executive in the company on their own or start their own business and become a self-made millionaire.
Alternatively, you can marry a local from Shanghai and settle down there.
Clearly, the second method is the most effective and fastest.
But the locals in Shanghai aren't stupid either!
Why should I marry someone who's rich?
She could easily find someone younger and prettier, right?
There are plenty of college students in Shanghai. They are a treasure to Chen Tai, but they may not be so in the eyes of others.
"Sigh, what Chen Tai said is really true. Trying to buy a house in Shanghai on your own is nothing short of a pipe dream."
"That's right, so many young people have no choice but to ask their parents for money in order to buy a house."
But not all parents are wealthy, nor are they willing to spend money on their children. Children from average-income families often have no choice but to live in cramped rented rooms.
"Who can argue with that? So young people these days have completely given up, since no matter how hard they try, they can't afford a house anyway."
"It feels so sad. Young people in the past were so energetic, with ideals and aspirations, and willing to dedicate themselves to others."
"And now, the ideal for young people is to own a house."
"Sigh, it's all the fault of capitalist lackeys like Chen Tai, and the exploitation by those capitalists! Young people these days suffer too much!"
...
"I once met a socialite."
Please don't think of "social butterfly" as a bad term.
On the contrary, in my eyes, being a socialite is a very impressive profession.
Do you think being a socialite is just about being good-looking and able to drink?
No, no, no, you're wrong. That socialite has an incredibly vast network of connections.
Some people go to great lengths to ask others to act as matchmakers, otherwise they simply cannot do business!
That's the kind of person who truly treats connections as a resource!
