What is the biggest headache for foreigners living in Beijing?
Rich people are happy everywhere, and people without money are uncomfortable everywhere. Since it is difficult, it must be aimed at low-and middle-income people. If the income level is the same, it must be comfortable for local people. In addition to housing prices and rents, the cost of living in Beijing is actually not high, and the price of vegetables is cheaper than many places. If the local people are only satisfied with a place to sleep, at least they don't have trouble with their houses. Moreover, the Beijing municipal government also has various preferential policies for residents, such as social security and application for affordable housing. There are many people with low wages in Beijing, and they can only get three or four thousand in January in the depressed old state-owned enterprises. If outsiders have problems estimating their livelihood with this salary, Beijing locals can live a leisurely life. Because there is no rent pressure, they can earn a few dollars for eating. This kind of old state-owned enterprise, which earns three or four thousand yuan, is usually not busy, and nobody cares if it comes early and leaves early. If they have nothing to do, they can go to the food market and study the menu at home, and they can be good cooks in half a year. If you feel that you don't have enough money, you can rent the house and move back to your parents' home for the elderly. Plus salary and rent, it will cost more than 10 thousand in January. You don't have to spend money on food and accommodation, and you can spend more than 10 thousand on pocket money Don't be too chic. Think about the same foreigner, how much he wants to have such a level and how much he wants a monthly salary of 20 thousand. First, he has to subtract thousands of rents and mortgages. Since he is not a local, he always has to save some money in case of unemployment and illness, and the rest is what he can control. With a monthly salary of 20 thousand, overtime is common. Don't even think about cooking by yourself. I think of you working overtime until late at night, buying a lunch on the road and coming home tired, and seeing your local neighbors drinking at the gate of the community. What's the difference between your 20 thousand and his 3 thousand?
