For China people, perhaps a deep-rooted concept is that you must buy a house to get married.
But for Japan, a person who is so free that I ... this concept is not too deep.
In other words, if you have a house to live in, why should you own it?
It's a bit embarrassing to say that they can't afford a house. The housing price in Japan is actually not high for their income. After all, although the place is small and there are few people, it is not as crowded as we are.
So basically it's not that you can't afford a house, but that it's not appropriate to buy a house.
After all, it is easier to understand not buying a house, because many young Japanese couples choose not to have children, and there is no need to leave any real estate for their children.
The second reason is that renting a house is romantic.
Why is renting a house romantic?
Because, living without a fixed place!
Imagine that every once in a while, you can change your environment and live in another place. This year you live in a romantic French-style house, next year you rent a house full of China elements, and the year after that you want to live in an American-style house.
You will have more friends and neighbors.
Everyone has aesthetic fatigue, which is true for people and things (anyway, I am tired of watching mobile phones for a month). Renting a house can solve this problem well, and you can have a group of new neighbors and a new living environment every once in a while.
Think about it. Is it comfortable?
I have to say that young Japanese couples are very good at it.
The bed, table, floor and sofa are all brand new, even if they are not new enough, they are novel enough for you at least.
According to people's reaction to novelty, it can probably bring you a good mood for a while. Besides, what do young Japanese couples want to do after they get married? I believe everyone has an X number in their hearts. For them, different environments can also bring different creative postures. It's good to think about it ~
The third reason is that you don't have to bear the mortgage.
Although we said it in the first reason, it is not necessarily that we can't afford it.
But not everyone can afford a house.
Buying a house in full means living with a mortgage.
It's tiring to find a way to decorate and maintain the house (Keke, you feel like a Japanese girl).
So for these young couples, renting a house will save a lot of unnecessary troubles and save a sum of money for them to play. Why not?
In addition, in fact, in Japan, this model has become the norm. If you let them buy a house, they will feel very strange. After all, newlyweds in China are more keen on buying houses.
