Big cities, small cities, high housing prices, low incomes – where to go...
Thread Content
As the title suggests, how should everyone make their choice? I’ve been graduated for over 3 years now, but at 28 years old (I started school late), I still don’t have a house, a car, or a girlfriend – I’m the typical person with nothing of the sort. I now live in a \"big city\" where housing prices are incredibly high – often over 10,000. Since my parents back home don’t have any money either, they certainly can’t afford to pay the down payment. If there was a down payment, I wouldn’t have any problem with the monthly payments. It seems like the house price keeps rising continuously, and it’s impossible to keep up with it! It’s difficult to find a girlfriend without a house, and getting married seems extremely hard. Now I wonder if I made the wrong choice back then – I shouldn’t have stayed in a big city – but who could have known there would be such extreme stress in life at that time? It doesn’t seem so easy to return to a small city these days. Not to mention the job aspect, I’m already 28 years old and can’t afford to go through more hardships. What should I do? Are there any siblings in a similar situation to mine? What are you thinking now? Should we evacuate the big cities or continue to stay here and catch our breath? The family can’t provide a down payment for a house, and it’s simply impossible to buy one using one’s own salary; are there any other ways to make money? It’s driving me to miss the land reform! Hehe, but that’s impossible..... What’s the problem? Am I myself or society? Or maybe some of my own beliefs need to change? Are there any other better solutions? Welcome, colleagues. I appreciate the guidance from those who are more experienced; thank you very much! (Points are awarded to those who leave comments)

It seems that points cannot be added in this version. Also, it’s not that easy to get by in small cities; if that doesn’t work, try looking for a job.
Just like me. Also 28 years old, and also a person with no job, no residence, and no family. I am in Nanjing. Everything has to be done on one’s own, which is quite difficult.
The chosen one of heaven? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Most of them are workers in big cities! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
What are the elite of the world? Many of these so-called elites earn less than migrant workers. Those who work physically on construction sites can earn over 3,000 per month. How many college graduates can earn that much within 3 years? (I’m not talking about those who might be able to do it; among all college students across the country, how many can achieve this?) ), although educational backgrounds may differ and future prospects might also vary, what lies ahead for you is getting married and having children. At least you won’t have to worry about buying a house in the city. By the time you’re in your 30s or approaching 40, you might be able to afford a house, but young girls in their 20s won’t have the same opportunities as you; it’s better for them to find someone who is divorced. It’s truly a tragedy.
Good heavens, aren’t you talking about me? I started school late, had to repeat a grade, and then ended up in this era, which became a tragic characteristic of my life

Reply to 8# *aquan: So what are your plans now? :handshake
What plans could there be? Just thinking about it gives me a headache. It really doesn’t matter to me whether I get married or not; it’s sad to see my parents’ hair turn white while they’re still single... A few days ago, someone from my hometown introduced me to a divorced person. I wasn’t very interested, but she was extremely enthusiastic. Then another person introduced someone who had a university degree; however, her family thought that someone with a university degree might not be stable enough, so they rejected that option and wanted to get married to the person without a college education who had been divorced. They were about to go through with that marriage. This second candidate seemed to sense my reluctance, and after hearing that I had met someone else, they became even less interested. It was a really complicated situation. It’s truly a tragicomedy.
