Many people don't understand why they know it is almost impossible to buy a house in a big city. Why do many people still go all out? Many people will eventually return to their hometown and choose a stable job and life. If they can't buy a house, they will be unstable. Many people are destined to be passers-by in this city. It's only a matter of time. What are the attractions of big cities for young people? How high is the cost of living in a big city?
There are also many post-90s generation in the company and around. Every time I have dinner with these young people, I always discuss these issues with them. In fact, regarding the choice of cities, the reasons why many people are keen on big cities and are unwilling to return to their hometown towns are mostly attributed to three points:
1, I am still young. I want to see the outside world. Although small cities are good, life and work are almost obvious at a glance. A small city can't hold back its restless heart. I always feel that everything is possible in a big city, and all the resources, stages and opportunities are for myself.
2. Believe in your own ability, and you can carve out your own world in a big city. More importantly, big cities have high tolerance and understanding. In my hometown and small place, I don't have to accept the shackles of secular vision, and there is no evaluation and comparison from relatives and friends. You can devote yourself to what you want to do. A simple understanding is to be yourself.
For your next generation, trying to buy a house in a big city can make your next generation win at the starting line to a great extent, and the resources in education, medical care and public facilities in a big city are definitely incomparable to those in a small city. It is also for these resources that you try your best to take root and settle in big cities.
But often the better we think about the future expectations of young people, the reality will give you a blow and the result will be very different. Buying a house in a first-tier city like Beishangguangshen and Shenzhen is impossible for most ordinary people. Some time ago, there was news that 5 million North drifters were fleeing from Beijing. Because of the impact of the epidemic, many people have made the choice of having to go.
A big city seems to have all the opportunities and resources for people to turn over successfully, but before you succeed in realizing wealth and freedom, you need to bear the high cost of living behind you. Why do so many North drifters choose to leave? Maybe a lot of people really only have ticket money left in their pockets. Behind the prosperity and vitality of big cities, the rising cost of living is just the beginning of destroying many young people's dreams of settling down.
So how high is the cost of living in big cities? The post-90s generation who worked and lived in Beijing gave their own experiences and answers.

From April, 20 18, the number was shaken in Hangzhou, about 34 times. In fact, when I first came to work in Hangzhou, I didn't say that buying a house was necessary or urgent, but later when I attended a party before my friend got married, the couple prepared a new house for the wedding. When I was sitting on their sofa, at that time, I felt that owning a house really belonged to this city. That's what you think at this time. It's called life. But when you turn your head back to reality and look at the surrounding housing prices, it seems that life is hopeless.
As a nonlocal office worker, buying a house in Hangzhou requires a lottery, otherwise it is useless to have money. Although there is no money, if you win the lottery, you can leave the idea of buying a house. At least you are qualified. There are basically no buildings around my company, and I like that I have not wavered. In order to save money to buy a house, I run Didi two hours in advance every day. I go to work when it's time to go to work, and I continue to run Didi after work at night until 12 o'clock in the evening. When I get home, it's already 1 o'clock.
After working for five years, I have saved 300 thousand, but for a house with an average price of more than 20 thousand in Hangzhou, the money saved in recent years is not enough. In recent years, the development of Hangzhou is getting faster and faster, and the speed of wage increase can't keep up with the speed of house price increase. If you want to settle here, you may not even be able to pay your parents' money. The cost is too high and the pressure is too great.
In a few years, I will be 30 years old. I may want to settle in the city more and more. I may bite my teeth and borrow money to buy a house like many people, but I may also choose to go back to my hometown because I really don't have that much money to buy a house. If my salary doesn't increase greatly at work, the pressure of buying a house will be enormous.
But when I really want to go back, I will still ask myself: Do you really want to? I'm definitely unwilling. I definitely want to stay. After living here for five years, I met all kinds of friends, and sometimes it was hard to give up for one year, let alone five years of work and four years of study.
I walk in its street, I take its bus and I make friends here. I think I actually belong to this city. Why can't I belong to this city? I believe this is the expectation of most young people who come to big cities to work hard and hope to settle down. I believe this is also the unwillingness and stubbornness of most young people after encountering real pressure to settle down. I think I belong here. I should belong here.
During my nine years in Hangzhou, I asked myself this question 100 times.
Although big cities are good, it seems that behind the quiet years, everyone is bearing the burden of moving forward.
Sales industry? 29 years old? Xiaoding
After giving birth, for various practical reasons, I bought a house in Hangzhou as quickly as possible, found a good job, and then took over my parents. But in fact, it seems that I bought a house, but there is endless pressure behind it every day, and I dare not lose my job or get sick. Now think about it, I really don't know why I chose to buy a house so bravely.
As the first generation born after 90, our generation wants to settle in a strange big city. For many ordinary people, buying a house can empty two generations, parents' money and their own money, but in fact there is not much money. When they decided to buy a house, their parents-in-law paid a lot, sold the house, and then came to Hangzhou to buy a house and take care of the children together.
Of course, the money to sell a house in my hometown is far from enough. There are bank loans and credit cards behind them, and you can maintain a relatively stable life by relying on various debts. I have eight or nine credit cards in my wallet. There are also bank loans. In order to pay back the money on time, seven credit cards kept going back and forth, robbing Peter to pay Paul, and taking the money from this card to pay back the money from another card. In this way, all the money earned in recent years has been given.
Sometimes people who think they can let go can live more chic. Most of us have too many inner worries and things that we can't let go, so troubles, fetters and pressures may follow. Every time it's time to pay back the money, I had mild depression some time ago, and my husband stayed with me for a month without going to work.
The 3 million house is actually a second-hand house with a small area. Its own funds are about 700,000 yuan, and the rest are either credit cards or bank loans. For ordinary people, the cost of living in a big city can really drain themselves. Basically, I will work in a bank all my life. what can I do?

Hangzhou is a good choice for people in a small city. Every time I get off work, I choose to run home, because the off-duty time in this industry is not fixed, and sometimes it will be photographed very late. After working in Hangzhou for two or three years, I also had the idea of buying a house and taking root in this city.
But the cost of living in a big city is too high, and you may not be able to buy a house for life on your own salary. But some people want to live here. I hope that one day, I can have my own nest in this city. Let's go
Everyone wants to settle down in a big city and enjoy the social resources here, but for many people, the cost of settling down is often huge. Empty the savings of two or even three generations, it can't be said that life is unfair, because life is fair to everyone. Whether or not to settle in a big city is actually not a question of whether or not, because many people will eventually become passers-by. After accepting this cruel reality, we should rationally analyze what we can get.
In fact, for today's young people, there is not much need to dwell on the problem of buying a house in a big city, because for most people who rely on wage income, the house price in a big city is simply sky-high. Cao, the king of glass, said that in fact, young people do not have to empty their wallets to buy a house and be house slaves for life. They can do whatever they want with the money. They were bound when they were young, and may never have another chance.
The cost of settling down in big cities is high, but buying a house is not necessarily everyone's just need. See what kind of mentality you use to treat yourself and the city.
