The rich grasp the trend, while the middle class only imitates!
Be willing to be a pick-up man, and strive to imitate everything in high society, from food, clothing, housing and transportation to hobbies!
Several major packages of "being a dead pseudo-middle class": 1 buy a school district house, 2 learn piano, violin, ballet 3 immigrate abroad 4 buy international famous brands to arm yourself!
Caught in a "high mortgage", the spouse does not go to work, neglects to improve himself, and allows his children to go to an international school!
A series of high expenditures ignore the family's disease risk and pension problems, resulting in the whole family's ability to resist risks is extremely low!
There is a girl next to me who has been learning and practicing the piano for nearly 8 years, and it seems that her family has given up. This girl's family is really a proper "fake middle class".
The girl's parents were originally programmers, and the income was quite good in the local area. When she was 3 years old, her mother gave birth to a second son, but fortunately, both parents were local, and it was not too hard. finally survived until the second child was about to go to kindergarten, and my mother actually resigned, saying that she wanted to accompany the two children well.
I was a little puzzled at the time, when the second child needed someone at home, my mother went to work, and the second child also went to kindergarten, which was completely liberated, and my mother actually returned to the family?
After her mother quit her job and stayed home, she bought a piano for her daughter and began her piano career. It is said that her family worships a famous teacher, and a class costs nearly 300 yuan when she is enlightened, and the mother and wife have been taking the bus to the teacher's house to take classes in order to save money. But how much money can be saved?
Her family practices the piano for 2 hours a day, and if it encounters a competition, it takes 3 hours to make the bottom, and there is no cap. How can a child in elementary school have so much time? Therefore, as long as her daughter does not have Chinese, mathematics, and English classes in the afternoon, her mother will give her leave of absence for all afternoon classes to concentrate on practicing the piano at home.
The little girl, almost never comes out to play, wears glasses in the first grade, is more than 400 degrees myopic in the third grade, and is as thin as a bean sprout, and now in the sixth grade, she is not as tall as her third-grade brother. At night, we walked in the community, her family lived on the lower floor, passing by her house, I could always hear her practicing!
Now the girl is in the 6th grade, her academic performance has fallen from the middle of the class to the middle and lower levels, and although her father has not been laid off, his salary has been reduced.
On the other hand, her famous piano teacher hinted at the price increase, and asked her to report various piano competitions, this kind of competition is basically a prize, but it is often a foreign competition, the registration fee is a few hundred yuan, and the accommodation ticket is the big one, and the mother and child spend 5000 is considered to be less.
Recently, in the face of Xiao Shengchu, her family finally gave up the "piano edification" that she had insisted on for so many years, after all, her wallet and academic performance had collapsed!
Another colleague's family income is okay, about 600,000 yuan, which is an ordinary family in Shanghai. A family of three lives in a 50-square-meter old and dilapidated house in Changning District, and 10 years ago, in order to pursue a luxurious life in the countryside, they went to Fengxian Bay in the suburbs to buy a seaside villa. When I bought it 10 years ago, the unit price was 20,000 yuan, and now it is still 20,000 yuan, and it can't be sold. The ordinary new houses in downtown Shanghai have risen from 30,000 yuan 10 years ago to 100,000+.
I don't have money to install any big money, and I don't have money to live in a villa to show anyone.
The villa is not at all affordable in the production capacity, there is one or two million, obediently buy a high-rise or bungalow in the city center, for the sake of face, buy a far suburban townhouse or superimpose to satisfy vanity, in the end it is found that it seriously underperforms the market, and directly slides from the middle class.
