What kind of life can you have with a monthly salary of 10,000 or so before taxes in Suzhou? I'm located in Wuzhong District, Suzhou, with a monthly salary of 10,000 to the right, 10,000+ before and after tax, but realize that 10,000+ is really not a lot of salary in Suzhou.

At the end of 2018, I bought a current home in Wuzhong District with a down payment, and three months later, I got my first car, and in April 2021, I bought a second one. The reason why I bought two cars is not because I have money in my hand, but precisely because I don't have money, so the house can only go far away from the downtown area, the house is bought far away, the transportation is not convenient, and I can only rely on my own car for my daily commute.

I work in Suzhou's industrial park, and my daily commute is fixed at 100 kilometers. My partner works in the new district, and his daily commute is close to 50 kilometers.

Calculate the fixed monthly expenses. The mortgage is $6,000, and the monthly payments for the two cars are $2,400 and $2,600 respectively. The parking fees in the neighborhood, one above ground and one below ground are 120 yuan and 150 yuan respectively, which is still the price after the annual discount. My company's parking space fee, 180 yuan. Monthly gasoline costs for two people, according to a tank of gas 300 yuan to calculate, two people a month about 1800 yuan. The above is a fixed monthly expense, a **** is $13,250.

Look at the above figure is not quite horrible, but there is no way, this is the real life status quo of the foreign household in Suzhou, and buy a house in Suzhou after 2017.

Monthly salary of 10000 +, sounds a lot, in fact, carefully calculated to really stay in the hands of not much money can be free to spend.

Sometimes I think that if I didn't have a mortgage or a car loan, I'd be better off with a salary of 10,000 per month, but I'm sure I'd be able to realize that I'd be able to buy my way out of it, but I'm not sure I can do that, because I'm a native of Suzhou.

In Suzhou, a monthly salary of 1w before tax, deducted five insurance and gold is more than 8000, if 20-25 years old has not started a family, this income at the end of the month can be left a little, if 25 years old or more have a family or ready to set up a family, this income is a little bit less, need to struggle a little. Simply put, under the current inflationary crotch, the monthly income in the hands of less than 1w, also figure a subsistence bar.
