Chapter 529: The Castle of Happiness on the Beach (2)
In order for their children to go to university, someone emigrated. Because the difficulty of university admission in various provinces (cities) in China is very different!
Don't look at the admission rate of ordinary universities in 04 has increased to dozens of percent, but the key universities that people are striving for are still only a few percent.
More parents are more concerned about the zoning enrollment of primary and secondary schools, and the so-called "school district room" is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Because the admission to these schools has nothing to do with grades, there is only one corresponding, that is, where your family has a house and a hukou, even in the same city, people are divided into several levels!
"It's all about the kids!"
Some people take it for granted, because the money is in their pockets, allowing them to reach the top of their wealth!
Some people grit their teeth, and how much helplessness there is, the savings of a lifetime, the hard work of a large family is just not enough, and they even need to pay the possible income of the family for ten or twenty years in the future!
Some rich and powerful people have already made a lot of money.
In the future, a certain richest man can easily drink a cup of tea and inadvertently say a legend!
"For example, set a small goal that can be achieved first, and earn 100 million first!"
And many low-level people are suffering and displaced. Those who cannot afford to buy a house are often asked to have their rents raised, otherwise they will have to live on the streets, and those who buy a house need to be "house slaves" for many years, and how many times they are awakened by nightmares in their sleep.
"Faith" and ideals have gradually become illusory and distant, and many people are completely left with only a pair of skins, like walking corpses, people in a trap, wearing masks every day, and they can't find themselves. Although they keep shouting: I want to be a better version of myself, I want to show myself, realize myself, reflect on myself, I have dreams. And the reality is: live it the way you want to live. They don't want it, but they can't change anything.
A very small number of people are enjoying life, while most people are simply struggling to live!
"I'd rather sit in a BMW and cry than sit on a bicycle and laugh! This kind of love concept of some girls seems to have begun to appear, and all people criticize her life for being too materialistic, but how many people have thought about where did this too materialistic concept of life come from? Of course, some people love vanity and covet enjoyment, but there are also people who have experienced a lot of helplessness!"
When Lao Tian rested after lunch, he was a little disapproving, discussing some phenomena in society with Zhao Hong.
"In real life, most ordinary families are financially vulnerable. The income in the countryside is very low, and most of them have to continue to be put into reproduction, while the income of people in the city seems to be quite high, but with the rise in housing prices, in fact, many people have become real "losers", most of the income needs to be returned to the bank, in fact, cash flow is also very tight. Urban average-income and low-income families may have little left except for houses. Once there is an accident, such as another interest rate hike or a family member is sick or unemployed, it is likely that there will be a problem with cash flow, and you will basically have to take a break. ”
Zhao Hong thought carefully and said to his old friend.
"Yes, many people in society have gradually begun to walk on the road to middle age, both old and young, afraid that their children will get sick, and they are afraid that the elderly will get sick, and they are even more afraid that they will get sick! ”
"I'm worried about my children going to school, because the school needs a higher and higher "school choice fee", because I'm worried that my child will lose out at the starting line early.
Worried about how to provide for their old age in the future, because most of the cities are already only children, how many parents want their children to cope with the pressure of fierce competition on the one hand, and need to take care of both parents on the other?
Of course, you also need to worry about losing your job from time to time, because the state says that this is the continuous upgrading of the industry, but who will worry about ordinary people who have lost their familiar jobs?
How many years of hard work, thrifty and thrifty for a lifetime, but once you need to buy a house, you realize how poor you have become! All your savings have been swept away, and you have to raise some money everywhere, and you still need to take out a loan for 10 or 20 years!
Pray every day, bless every year, be safe and smooth, not expecting to be rich and rich, but just worrying that once there is a wind and grass, the fragile family will be squeezed with powder!"
Lao Tian complained a little weakly about his various worries, but who had a good solution?
"The most terrible thing is that if the worst happens, the family may have to sell the property, not only will it end up empty, but even a lot of debt! And the population of such a city is constantly increasing! There is an example of this near my home, where a family that was doing very well was ruined all at once!"
Xiao Li also echoed softly, and the regret on his face was also very strong.
"When you make a lot of money, hello, me, and everyone! But what if it's the opposite? There is no shortage of people who are icing on the cake, but it is very difficult to send charcoal in the snow! There are many people who cannot afford to pay back because of some unexpected difficulties?"
Xiao Wang also took the initiative to join the discussion.
"Even if they can afford to pay back, will people who are in debt really feel happy? Just like my neighbor Lao Chen's family, although they are labeled as "the new middle class of the city", it sounds like how glorious it sounds, but in fact they are also living a very hard life!"
Yes, there are many young people who, after graduating, work in all kinds of hard work, vowing to work hard to earn money so that they can retire at the age of 35 and go to work in a career that they are really interested in.
But when they really reach the age of 35, they find that they are carrying huge loans, have to pay for their children's school fees, have to maintain a house, and have to maintain a car, and they must work harder and continue to exhaust themselves half to death.
In the not-too-distant future, for most people, houses and children have already killed most young people on the beach. At that time, as a middle-aged person, what I was most afraid of was unemployment, what I was most afraid of being eliminated, and what I was most afraid of was a salary cut.
Feelings are all other people's! Being a "slave" of money is actually a kind of luck! Don't you see that there are still many people who have no houses, no cars, and no wives?
As long as housing prices continue to rise, more and more people will be kidnapped by life. There is only superficial glossy and false prosperity, and it is more through overdraft consumption and spending future money to achieve today's status and scenery. It's not so much that they're living a delicate life, it's that life controls them. Housing loans, car loans, loan sharks, credit card loans, living expenses, water bills, electricity bills, telephone bills, network fees, property fees, transportation expenses, communication expenses, favor expenses, maintenance fees, smoking and drinking money by yourself, wife shopping to buy cosmetics, bags and clothes, children's milk powder raising and education money, parents fishing and playing cards to respect money. Every day when they open their eyes, there are all kinds of fees and expenses, and they can't move.
Families kidnapped by high debt are vulnerable and cannot tolerate a single change. It seems that they are the masters of the house, but in fact they are only slaves of the house; I think I have a lot of "wealth", but in fact I can't spend it at all.
In the final analysis, many Chinese people just lack a chance to get rich, and there is no crisis that can be solved by not getting rich. A lot of people's wealth is a fixed asset, and if you don't sell it, you're just temporarily owning it. And if you sell it, you may no longer have the strength to buy it.
Even some so-called "social elites", who are still directors, chief engineers, managers, directors and the like today, may be fired tomorrow, rolled up and left, gotten out, and marginalized. Today, he is still a small boss, a certain president, and a shopkeeper, but tomorrow he may go bankrupt and close his shop. Everything is impermanent, the future is uncontrollable, what is the future? 2k reading web
