How hard is life in North Drift?

author:Jdoudou

Mention beijing, about the house and hukou, is always a hot topic, in each WeChat group, as long as someone mentions any of these two topics, it immediately opens the conversation box, and the usually lifeless group can also be immediately active ~ brush out thousands of chat messages. On both topics, everyone seems to have their own experience, turning into a philosopher of life in every minute.

The reason why the topic of housing and hukou is always hot is because these two things that can be obtained by biting your teeth and working hard in other second- and third-tier cities have become a distant fantasy in Beijing, for most people.

How difficult is life in Beijing?

The surplus grain at home has bottomed out, last night went to the supermarket to reserve a new round of grain, repeatedly shopping, as far as the eyes can see, I feel that there is nothing I can afford, tomatoes a pound of 10 yuan, peppers a pound of 13 yuan. After thinking about it, I either picked a package of discounted dishes, and found that it was really bad and dirty, and it was estimated that I would throw it all away the next morning, so I gave up.

Steamed bun price

Can't afford to buy vegetables, staple food always have to have, right? So I planned to buy a few steamed buns. A steamed bun for 1 piece 6 ah!! I once ordered takeaway to see a steamed bun price of 2 yuan, 4 yuan, I thought this is just a takeaway shop premium of individual phenomena, who ever thought that the supermarket has been sold to 1.6 yuan ah! My northwest hometown eighteen-line small county town a steamed bun is now 6 cents! In other words, to eat steamed buns in Beijing, you have to pay nearly 3 times more than your hometown.

Surely some people will say, then the income in Beijing is higher than in the hometown, 3 times higher is not a problem, right?

There are always people who think that everyone in Beijing earns more than 10,000 yuan a month and has an annual salary of one million everywhere, but the truth is that because there are too many competitors, usually many positions can recruit better people with lower salaries than similar positions in other places.

The data comes from the web

Posts with a monthly salary of 3,000 or 4,000 can be seen everywhere, and it is really rare to break the monthly salary of more than 10,000, with a population of more than 20 million people in Beijing, and only more than 20 percent of the people with a real monthly salary of more than 10,000.

Even if the monthly salary is more than 10,000, even if it is an annual salary of one million, what can it do? The lowest house is more than 40,000 / flat, the high one has hundreds of thousands of square meters of house, hollowing out the wallet of a family of six, making up enough down payment, and carrying a huge mortgage for 25 years. A monthly mortgage can be as little as 7-8 thousand, and as much as tens of thousands. A family, even if two people have a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan, what is enough to do? After paying off the mortgage, paying the water and electricity bills, property fees, refueling fees, parking fees (most people can't afford to buy a parking space, and the parking fee for an hour in the core area can be 10 yuan / hour), the rest of the money is not necessarily enough for two people to spend a month of steamed buns? Other expenses to increase the quality of life, such as eating, drinking, and socializing, skin care, and tourism, do not deserve to be considered at all. If there is another child, the money to drink the northwest wind is not enough...

Do you think that with an annual salary of one million, you will have an easy life? The annual salary before tax is millions, the payment of various taxes and fees, social security, etc. is about 300,000 (I may not be enough), it seems that there are still 700,000, and the down payment of the house is finally a little hopeful... After the down payment, there are still huge mortgages, utilities, property fees, parking fees, refueling fees, of course, if the quality of the chosen housing is low, then the working capital in hand each month will be sufficient compared to the monthly income of more than 10,000 people. It is difficult to open a particularly large gap between the living conditions and the people with a monthly salary of more than 10,000...

Of course, there is a high probability that many people can save fuel and parking fees, because the license plate number in Beijing is difficult to find, and many people have participated in the lottery for 7-8 years, and still have not got the license plate. The money saved can be used to buy steamed buns, and the child is not in a hurry.

Can't afford to buy a house, can't rent a house?

Of course, most of the people from other places who come to Beijing in Beibu choose to live in a shared house, how can a start get 1500 (it may also be said that it is less)? This price is estimated to commute distance of more than 2 hours, then this is another expense, the monthly subway + bus transportation costs, at least 500 right? The community near the unit can be reached on foot, the rent probability is at least 3,000 yuan upwards, either save money, or save time, two can only choose one.

The two price points I mentioned are basically the worst and most leaky room prices. Renting also means that you may often face various uncertain expenses such as moving, finding an agent to change houses, and defaulting on the lease term. If you add lazy use of the common kitchen, then the cost of eating every month will rise sharply, but it is much more expensive than buying staple steamed buns to cook at home, just order a takeaway at least 25 yuan to start...

If it is a drag of the family, renting a house of less than 10 square meters can not be lived, renting a complete set, as little as 6000-8000, more than tens of thousands of / month rent, can be seen everywhere. Can you still have money left to buy steamed buns in that month's income?

Recently, there are often all kinds of videos of housing cars in Beijing on the Internet, you think that it is more money to burn, purely to experience life, but the fact is that it is really more cost-effective than renting a house, and even better than the quality of life of renting a house, at least do not have to share the kitchen and bathroom with several strangers...

Beijing CBD

Many people want to come to Beijing because they feel that there are no job opportunities in other places here, and it is easy to find a job.

But do you think that any individual can stand out and compete successfully? There are the largest number of 985 and 211 colleges and universities in the country, including the Qing, Bei, and people are located here, and there are also highly educated graduates from famous universities around the world who come here, and Oxford, Yale, etc. are also commonplace. Among these cattle people, people facing the pressure of unemployment and the crisis of 35-year-old middle age are also everywhere. Are you sure you can beat them?

Here, positions of the same level as in the field can recruit better candidates with lower wages. It's not that you're not good, it's that the people who compete with you are too good.

If you have a good job here, the income is more than 10,000 yuan enough to pay off the mortgage, and the six wallets in the family can help you make enough down payments, then congratulations to the lucky you can have the opportunity to get on the station in this big city and achieve the first major success. This is a major success that millions of North Drift dreams of!

Celebrate the New Year with joy

Hukou is another problem, if you happen to be a fresh graduate and have found a job with a hukou indicator, then congratulations, you are so lucky!! Welcome to Beijing!

And the cruelty of reality is often that such luck belongs to only a very small number of people, and this number is negligible.

As for other ways to solve the Beijing hukou, such as the most common points settlement, then you must continue to pay Beijing social security for more than 7 years to have the qualification to apply for points settlement; if you want to really settle down through this way, then you may still have to have a house in Beijing, at least bachelor's degree or above, it is best to live and work in the suburbs, you must strive to be a model worker or do a good job, the probability of success will be greater... Of course, you can continue to study for a postdoc, there may be a chance to solve your and your spouse's account, but there are also postdocs who can't find a job...

Some people will ask, why do you have to have a hukou?

If you're not ready to settle down here for the rest of your life, you don't. And the family who wants to settle down and live here, without a Beijing hukou, means that your child cannot take the college entrance examination in Beijing, and when you go to school, the school assigns a seat, and your child will always be placed behind the child with a hukou. Of course, you will never be able to get all kinds of subsidies and social security services linked to the Beijing hukou.

Come to Beijing to drift, meet the so-called unseen world, meet a few big people, attend several bullish occasions that have not been encountered in other places, and see the Forbidden City, bird's nest, water cube that are not available in other places... Then wave your sleeve and go back.

But if you really want to settle down here (I don't think it's a peaceful life), then you must make more than 10 times the effort in the second-tier cities and support the whole family to have hope...

The law of two eights can be seen everywhere, especially in terms of life in Beijing. The resources are always in the hands of the twenty percent of the few people, who have hundreds of millions of luxury houses, hundreds of properties, and monthly cash flow of tens of millions and hundreds of millions. Ordinary people can't shake the license plate number, but the owners of listed enterprises and dignitaries who hold dozens of car license plates in their hands also abound.

And most of us are those eighty percent ordinary people!

After the argument of fleeing the north, Shanghai and Guangzhou gradually faded, many people began to say: Beijing cannot tolerate the flesh, but it can tolerate the dreams of young people!

How do you live up to your dreams?

This is a very circle-oriented place, talking to others, without exception, every time I will hear who I know who is who, who can be how how...

So, young you, do you deserve to sit with who is equal to whom?

Want to start a business? Rent an office, the cheapest 1 square meter a day 5 yuan, how many square meters do you plan to rent? Recruit employees, a person's monthly social security cost is at least 2000s, and provident fund, how many people do you plan to recruit?

Go out to ask people to talk about things, high traffic time costs, a day can talk about 2 things, about 2 bureaus, count you high efficiency, if you can about 3, you are definitely a diligent little bee.

Dreams are achieved through hard work

The realization of any dream is to experience hardships, to have the corresponding resources, funds, skills to support, and in Beijing, the requirements for comprehensive conditions are only worse, and the competition will only be more intense.

Any dream can come true here, but are you sure this is the right place to be?

The only constant in this world is constant change. As long as you have a young heart and are willing to keep trying and fighting, whether you come to Beijing or not is not the most important thing. Whether you can settle down in Beijing or not is not the most important.

Perhaps, most importantly, we never lose ourselves, always know what kind of person we want to be, always remember the mission we set out for, and remember the goals we want to achieve.

Job hunting or starting a business to realize your dreams, even if you are a small businessman and a hawker, you can do it anywhere, and Beijing can do it. If there is something to lose, something will be gained. Although life in Beijing is sad and hard, there are still people who firmly stay here and continue to live the life of north drift, perhaps this is the charm.
