I spent half my salary renting a house, and I was scared myself.

In another month, 22-year-old Liang Jun will "wander" in Beijing for one year. He calculated an account: the monthly rent is 2,700 yuan, and the salary obtained during the probation period is about 4,700 yuan, which means that 57.4% of the salary should be paid to the landlord every month. The figures were accurate to one decimal place, and he was really startled.

"When I got my first salary, I gave up the idea of saving money." Liang Jun said that the monthly income is barely enough. This year, "Shuang 1 1" spent more than 90 yuan to buy a health pot for her mother, and never bought anything again.

Liang Jun rented a house through an intermediary in August, which is the peak season for renting houses. The rent is high and the housing is tight. His work unit is in the East Second Ring Road, so he carefully looked at the map of half a circle. The northern, eastern and southern parts of Beijing are under consideration, especially in Tongzhou District, along the Batong subway line, Huilongguan and Songjiazhuang.

He found that a second bedroom of 15 square meters costs about 2300 yuan a month, even outside the North Fifth Ring Road of the subway, it is 1 more hours away from the unit. Like most recent graduates, he started a "carpet-style" housing search mode, constantly swiped the housing search App every day, and finally rented the current house-on the edge of the East Second Ring Road, walking 10 minutes to the company. The two bedrooms are divided into three bedrooms, and he lives in the second bedroom with shading, which is about 10 square meter. He feels good.

Is it extravagant to spend more than half of your salary on renting a house? In Liang Jun's view, renting a house around the unit costs four or five hundred yuan more each month than living in a house far away, but "the cost of transportation and time saved is far more than four or five hundred yuan". After work, he kept the habit of going to college to watch movies and buy books, but he also had to give up his hobby of collecting animation and creative products. He felt that he would hardly consider the economic cost when he went to school, but now he has to consider it. "I will get together with friends occasionally, once or twice a month."

"I haven't seen a performance after work, and I won't pay attention to it now. I went to college in Xi 'an and watched a New Year concert in 680 yuan. "If he has enough money, Liang Jun plans to learn some skills needed for his job, such as Japanese, film shooting and post-production.

"Sometimes I think, how many years do I have to work before my life can change?" Liang Jun sent a tearful smile and a sentence "I have no idea" in the WeChat chat.

"Now it is 2350 yuan per month, accounting for 47% of the salary. Is it too bad? " Speaking of his own rent, Zhang Ni told China Youth Daily and Zhongqing Online reporter.

Zhang Ni graduated from the City University of Hong Kong in June 2005 and came to Beijing. More than a month ago, in a second bedroom in the East Fifth Ring Road, she put down her luggage. This is her third move in Beijing. She introduced the "tossing" of this year and a half with her finger: the first set, two bedrooms, her own house is less than 10 square meter, and it is 2600 yuan a month, because the internship period is the rent paid by the family; The second set, two rooms, my own room is 15 square meters, 2500 yuan a month, but far from the unit; This newly moved apartment with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, room 10 square meter.

The house Zhang Ni is looking for is close to the subway, only 3 minutes' walk, and two stops from the company. She calculated that it would take half an hour from the door to the door of the unit. Her principle of finding a house is clear: no more than 2500 yuan per month, less than three people's toilets, next to the subway station.

Around Zhang Ni, there are many cases where two people share a room, but she almost "never considered it". She thought it would be embarrassing to share a room with a stranger, and there were also security considerations. Sharing a room with friends can be considered, but it is not the first choice. "There are still some privacy considerations. After all, it is a place to live and I hope to have private space. "

Zhang Ni provides youth apartments with an annual rent of 6,000 yuan, which she hasn't considered yet. The unit is in the North Third Ring Road, but the apartment is in Daxing in the south. It takes more than 4 hours to commute by subway. She feels far away and needs to "queue up". Anyone who joins this year can't line up. What she envies most is the male classmate who works in another media company. He and Zhang Ni joined the company almost at the same time, but three months later, his classmate's unit provided a dormitory, so that his rent accounted for less than one-thirtieth of his salary, from one-third of the original.

Compared with, those who worked hard in Beijing were once rich. This undergraduate girl who studied in a key university of the "985 Project" in China went to work in a central enterprise in Beijing after obtaining a master's degree in the United States. She spends 2400 yuan on renting a house every month, accounting for 20% ~ 25% of her salary.

In her view, living conditions "will directly affect their working status, work efficiency and ability to make money in the future", so it is acceptable to rent a house at a higher cost.

The rented house is in the East Third Ring Road, shared by three households, and it takes about 20 minutes to walk to work. In this 9-square-meter room, she smiled and said "no slippers". "Because sitting on the bed, sitting on the bed, turning around, I arrived at the door." She said there was a bed, a table and a wardrobe in the room, and there was not enough room left for a clothes hanger.

She smiled and said, "The house I rented is small, but we are seniors." This house was built in the 1970s. The whole house is about 40 square meters and is divided into three bedrooms. Except the house where I once lived, the other two places are10m2 and13m2 respectively. "The living room is a corridor, and the bathroom and kitchen are about 5 square meters." She admits that her income is relatively high among new colleagues. When the graduates of her unit first came in, their salary was five or six thousand yuan. Before renting a house, she also consulted her colleagues around her. Most of them choose to share the rent. The rent is more than 2,000 yuan, and rarely more than 3,000 yuan.

She thinks she can accept it. For the high housing prices in Beijing, she said that she had long had psychological expectations.

Chen Xue, 23, has the experience of sharing a bed. She and two friends rented a studio in the North Fifth Ring Road and spent * * * 3,200 yuan, each sharing 1 0,000. There is a single bed and a double bed in the bedroom, and Chen Xue doesn't feel any inconvenience. Three girls chattered and chatted, and went shopping together on weekends. Under such a rental model, her rental expenses account for about a quarter of her salary. Chen Xue envies her friends who work in remote areas. For example, one of her girlfriends lives in the "southwest corner of Beijing" and rents a two-bedroom apartment for about 2000 yuan.

Li Lei, a graduate student who graduated for one year, is now doing research on housing enterprises in a company in Guangzhou. In the first half of this year, she and her boyfriend bought a house in Foshan. It costs 65438+ 05% of salary to rent a house every month, and the rest is used to pay off the mortgage and some daily expenses. She feels that compared with Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, Guangzhou has less pressure on housing prices. "After the house is delivered, it takes 50 minutes to get to the unit by subway, and it feels acceptable. And it will definitely appreciate in the future. "

Li Yiwei left early last year. At that time, facing college graduation, he chose to return to his hometown in Guangxi and entered a good publishing house. In his city, the rent for a two-bedroom apartment in the downtown area is 1000 yuan ~ 1400 yuan. He is now in the "absolute city center", sharing a two-bedroom apartment with friends, and the price is *** 1000 yuan. 10% of his salary is enough to pay the rent every month.

"It takes less than 5 minutes to walk to work, isn't it very happy?" Li Yiwei told his friends who are still in Beijing without showing off. He still remembers the scene of crowding the Batong Line during his internship in Beijing, and he still remembers renting the smallest three-bedroom apartment, with a monthly rent of 1500 yuan.

Li Yiwei is the only one of the 50 students in the class who "broke into Beijing". His classmates envy his experience and life. "If you choose to stay in Beijing, don't you sometimes insist on waiting for something like waiting for Godot? But I always feel that my waiting is absurd. A person here can only encourage himself mentally all the time. Others have told you that it will be fine in a few years, but some things may never wait. "

During the Spring Festival of 20 15, Li Yiwei's mood when he came home from Beijing was particularly complicated. The night before he went home, he left a lot of selfies at his residence. At that time, he "didn't know if he would come back."

Now he is sure that he will never come back. "I am no longer eager to stay in Beijing for a long time, but I want to play occasionally. For example, if I go to Beijing for business, I will be very happy."

The city of Beijing, in his view, is a place that "enriches his life" and makes him "insecure".
