Many people say that after buying a house, they become "house slaves", carrying the pressure of repayment, which affects the quality of life.
People who claim to be "house slaves" seem to be self-deprecating, but in fact, they are also arrogant behind them, after all, not everyone can realize the desire to buy a house. Especially in first- and second-tier cities, millions or tens of millions of houses, people who can afford to buy houses are either rich or expensive, which is a symbol of status and status.
People don't pay attention to how much loan you have to buy a house, how much money you have to pay back every month, they just think that you are a "homeowner" and will look at you with envy.
Those who claim to be "house slaves" may be showing off to you, and slightly sensitive people will be stimulated by the other party's show off and have an inferiority complex. Isn't life a face?
At the 2022 NetEase Economist Annual Meeting, Dong Fan, director of the Real Estate Research Center of Beijing Normal University, believes that the real house slaves are renters. These are remarks and opinions that we did not expect before.
Dong Fan said: "You are forced to rent a house, forced to give your money to your homeowner, help the homeowner repay the loan, and you still can't earn value-added." "So, the real house slaves are actually people who rent a house.
As soon as the expert's remarks came out, it caused a lot of controversy, and many netizens expressed their disagreement.
Looking closely at the comments of these dissenting netizens, we found a fact: people who rented houses were stung by the experts' remarks!
It is precisely because you can't afford to buy a house that you choose to rent a house, pay rent, help the homeowner repay the loan, the property appreciation has no dime relationship with the tenant, the renter is not a "house slave" What is it? And the homeowner enjoys the tenant to help repay the mortgage, enjoys the wealth brought by the appreciation of the property, and enjoys the identity and psychological comfort of the "house owner", how can it be related to the word "slave"?
The term "house slave" is a hot topic of social concern in recent years, generally speaking, "house slave" refers to the high debt rate caused by buying a house, which affects the quality of life.
But why don't people who rent a house affect their quality of life because of their rent? More critically, year after year of rent spending will only drain your wealth and will not add any value.
Most people who choose to rent a house are helpless in their hearts, can buy a house, who wants to rent?
The reason for the phenomenon of "house slavery" is not because of buying or renting a house, but because of high house prices. The rise in house prices exceeds the income level of most people, whether it is buying a house or renting a house, the cost of living is overwhelmed, so many people feel that they are "enslaved" by the house.
Only if the house price is within the range of income affordability for most people, there will be no so-called "house slaves".
People have their own houses, which is a common good wish of people. It is hoped that one day, people will no longer be plagued by "high housing prices".
