To tell the truth, prices in Shanghai are not ridiculously expensive. What is outrageous is the house price. If your 4 thousand doesn't include rent, it's actually a very good life in Shanghai. Of course, if your 4 thousand still needs to pay the rent, then you can only live a tight life.

First of all, to solve the housing problem, there are more than 1 000 rented houses in Shanghai every month, which are either located in remote areas or shared with others. It's up to you, because the house price itself is very expensive, and it's hard to find a cheap and good house in the lot. A lot of information on the internet is hung up by intermediaries to fool you.

The housing problem has been solved. In fact, the problem of eating is very simple. I think it's cheap to order takeout in Shanghai, but it's only worthwhile if two people work together. I ordered delicious stir-fry, maocai, spicy pot and wonton. It only costs 20 yuan for two people. Eating out is also cheap. There was a seller of mixed rice near where I worked at that time. It was delicious, and a meal was only a dozen yuan.

You can cook by yourself, but the cost of water, electricity and natural gas will be slightly higher, but the price of vegetables in Shanghai is really cheap, especially in supermarkets. The cheapest foreign eggs I bought were 3.9 1 kg, and local eggs were a little more expensive, but they were all cheaper than Wuhan. There was a supermarket similar to a convenience store where I lived. I forget what it's called. This supermarket is relatively small. It mainly sells vegetables and some other supplies, but vegetables are really cheap. Three big potatoes 1.9 yuan. Anyway, I often buy hot pot dishes.

So take care of yourself and don't always think about going to the restaurant to order cooking. Eating is still not a problem. A month 1500 can eat well.

4000 yuan a month. If you need to pay rent, it is basically enough to eat, drink and live. But if you don't need to pay the rent, after deducting the money for food, you can at least have more than 1000 left.

Most companies in Shanghai buy five insurances and one gold. Unless you are a salesman, you will buy it after working for a long time. If you buy it at a minimum wage of 4,000 yuan, you may deduct more than 600 yuan a month, but if 200 yuan is a housing provident fund, the company will give you a 200 yuan, so you can actually get about 3,600 yuan a month.

A monthly salary of 4 thousand can only be said to be a living in Shanghai, but it is not enough to have quality. You must be careful.

If you can accept this life, it's actually fine, but if you feel that life is very wronged, I suggest you either change your job or go back to your hometown. After all, it's depressing to live this life all the time. You came to Shanghai for a better life. Now you have no money to eat and live for a flower. You might as well go home.
