How long can I live in Zhejiang with 10,000 yuan?

I will tell you the answer based on my personal experience of staying in Yuyao, Zhejiang for 15 years.

I currently live in a small town in Yuyao. Prices here are far lower than in my hometown in Sichuan. You may not believe me if I tell you, but it is indeed true.

Most of the people working here are a family, or a couple, and the whole family lives here. They should be a little more particular about the rental conditions, at least not to wrong their children.

For couples or individuals here, it’s very casual, as long as it can protect you from wind and rain.

In fact, the rental houses below are not the shabbiest. There are even worse ones, priced at 150-200 yuan a month.

The mentality of workers is that they earn money when they come out and enjoy returning to their hometown. So as long as there is a bed to sleep on.

I once saw with my own eyes a room rented by one of my Anhui friends by her parents. I was particularly shocked. Why?

The room is only 15 square meters, really only 15 square meters. The small bed is 1.5 meters tall. It is made of many wooden boards and is divided into wardrobes. There is a gas stove in front of the bed. They never cook because There is oil fume. So just boil noodles or steam steamed buns.

The landlord charged them 80 for this room. If I hadn't met such a frugal couple, I think it would be really difficult to rent out this room.

If a person rents a bungalow here, it costs 200 yuan, which is 200 12 = 2,400 yuan a year.

Most of the factories here include lunch. If you look for a small factory, If you have to bring your own rice to steam, then go to Dachang. Dachang provides free lunch.

In order to save money, many outsiders here do not want to use gas or electricity to boil water. Many of them use this kind of boiling bucket to boil water. One bucket can wash one person's bath.

Many out-of-towners, who have elderly people at home, will boil water slowly throughout the day. In this way, they will save a lot of money in a month.

Why is it so cheap? Because we are in a town. If we were in a village, it would cost one piece per piece.

Calculated in this way, the monthly rent is 200, water and electricity bills are 20-30, living expenses are 900, and phone bills are 100, which is almost 1,500 a month.

If you tighten your belt, ten thousand can last for half a year.

I don’t know if other cities have such a consumption level. I think it’s very suitable for saving money here and the pace of life is not fast. Anyway, I really like it here.

In the summer there are bayberries to eat, now there are bamboo shoots to dig, tea leaves can be picked in the mountains, and during the factory holidays you can go to the hillsides to find firewood. Why don’t you think you can’t save money!

"How long can you live in Zhejiang with 10,000 yuan?" This question uses my own 17 years of personal experience in Zhejiang to tell you how long you can live in Zhejiang with 10,000 yuan!

In 2004, on the recommendation of my relatives and friends, I went to work in a small county under the jurisdiction of Zhejiang Province. I have stayed in Zhejiang for 17 years. In Zhejiang, I learned their local language. It can be said that if I didn't tell you that I was a foreigner, you might really think of me as a local.

Let’s get back to the question of how long the legend can live! I returned to my hometown in July 2020. Because the living standards in Zhejiang in 2020 will remain the same as now.

I rent a private house in Zhejiang. This house is a two-unit residential house. In 2020, the rent is 650 yuan per month. If you rent a single room, it will cost between 200 and 300 yuan. It depends on whether the location of the house is convenient and whether it has a separate bathroom.

Because we are tenants from out of town, the electricity and water bills are set by the landlord. In 2020, my electricity bill is 1.2 yuan per kilowatt hour and water is 3.5 yuan per ton. Because the climate in Zhejiang is different from that in Sichuan, the monthly electricity bill is particularly high. Especially in summer and winter, the air conditioner is turned on more often, and the average monthly electricity bill is between 100 and 150 yuan. As for the water bill, the monthly maximum is no more than 20 yuan. Because I eat in the factory at noon and sometimes work overtime and don’t eat at home, the water consumption is not very large.

After the problem of accommodation is solved, there is the problem of food. The normal cost of living in Zhejiang is not very high. In comparison, it is not as high as in the Mainland. The monthly living expenses for the three of us are between 2,000 and 2,500 yuan, and the food is pretty good!

There is also the monthly entertainment for colleagues, which adds up to an average of about 500 yuan. Because life is about normal consumption, it does not include smoking and drinking! So I calculated the minimum consumption bill for a month in Zhejiang based on a person's normal living standards: rent 200 yuan/month, water and electricity 50 yuan/month, and living expenses of 1,500 yuan for three meals (cooking by yourself).

In Zhejiang, it costs 1,750 yuan per month for a person to have simple food and accommodation. This is frugal consumption. In this way, 10,000 yuan can live in Zhejiang for about 6 months.

My calculation of whether this account is true or false would be for friends who are still living in Zhejiang. You will think that my calculation is more accurate. Do you think Zhejiang has this standard of living?

It makes no sense to ask this. There are beautiful women in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. It takes less than a week to become a boss with 10,000 RMB, and it is not a problem for one person to have free food and accommodation for half a year. It’s up to you to decide how to use the money in your hands, and children all know this.

I rent a single room in Dongyang, Zhejiang, with a shared bathroom. The monthly rent is 260 yuan. The electricity bill is 1 yuan per unit, and the water bill is 10 yuan per month. I eat fast every day. Meat is 10 yuan, and vegetarian food is 8 yuan. 歺, 5 yuan for breakfast, 1,000 yuan for monthly living expenses!

In the countryside of Yongkang, Zhejiang, I grow vegetables and burn earthen stoves. Ten thousand yuan is enough for one year. A haircut costs eight yuan. Buy rice, buy meat, buy beans to pay. In summer, you only use electric fans, not air conditioners. Use charcoal for the winter fire. I am a local farmer.

Take Yiwu as an example, let me do the math for you.

After coming here, you have to rent a house first. To rent a single room with a bathroom, you need to pay 500 per month for at least half a year. In addition to the deposit, cable TV fees, Internet fees, etc., you have to spend 4000-5000 at a time. Here is 4500 for you.

After renting a good house, you have to buy some things for use. Pots and pans, clothes hangers and mops, quilts and pillows...I won't give you any extra calculations, let's just call it 500.

After doing this, half of the 10,000 was gone, but I finally settled down.

The next step is living expenses. The rented house doesn't have a kitchen, so you can't cook, so you can only eat outside. Three meals a day are calculated as RMB 35. If you occasionally add meat, it will cost you at least RMB 1,200 a month, and you can only stick to it for another four months at most.

If you include water, electricity, phone bills, transportation, drinks and other expenses into the deposit, if you rent a house, 10,000 yuan can last for up to four months.

But this time is enough. Even if you spend half a month looking for a job, your salary will only be reduced for half a month at most. You will be able to receive your salary after two months. The extra two months The salary can be used to pay the rent for the second half of the year, and my life is guaranteed.

Of course, you can also choose a job that includes food and accommodation. If you save some money, 1,000 can last until the day when your salary is paid, and the remaining 9,000 can be saved if you don’t need it.

If you don’t come to Yiwu to work and make money, then it depends on what your purpose is?

For travel, not counting tickets and the like, if you stay in a small hotel for 50, and spend more than 50 a day, 10,000 should be enough to last three months.

If you want to lie down, sleep in a park for free, eat one meal a day... Occasionally make a daily settlement, and you can still have 10,000 left over for travel expenses home at the end of the year.

If you want to experience the life of a wealthy person, then 10,000 can only be calculated on a daily basis. First open a five-star hotel, and then go to a bar to drink some at night... If you drink too much, you might have to run away the next day.

The monthly rent is about 1,000 because I share it with my roommates. As for food expenses, I occasionally cook and eat out most of the time. The monthly rent is at least about 1,000. Transportation expenses About 300 per month, and some daily necessities, which cost 10 per month. And as a boy, I have at least 50 cigarette money a month, and then occasionally buy clothes and shoes, etc., in a month I have at least It’s about 200, and there are some entertainment activities, such as surfing the Internet, watching movies, and drinking milk tea. The monthly expenses are at least 30, so the monthly expenses are at least 3,500, so 10,000 can only be used for about 3 months~

How long can I live in Zhejiang with 10,000 RMB? This depends on how many people live in the question. Based on my experience of living in Taizhou, Zhejiang for five years with my husband, it is roughly as follows:

Geographical location: Yuhuan County (City), Taizhou City < /p>

1. Living standard:

The rent of a slightly better house (with independent bathroom, air conditioning, etc.) is now generally around 700 yuan/month, water fee is 8 yuan/ton, and electricity fee is 1.2 yuan/degree. The rent, water and electricity are about 1,000 yuan per month. One thing to note here is that the rent here is paid half a year, which means a one-time payment of 4,200 yuan is required, and the water and electricity bills are paid monthly.

2. Living expenses:

If two people cook by themselves, they may have to save a little. The price of vegetables per day is only about 30-50 yuan. In a month, including daily necessities, In terms of various expenses such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, phone bills, and occasionally going out to eat out, the living expenses for two people a month are about 2,500-3,000 yuan, and we can only buy a lot of clothes.

3. Medical expenses:

If the company buys social security, the medical expenses are still quite small. Many friends around me use social security to go to the hospital for medical treatment and medicine, which costs basically 100 yuan. You only need to pay more than 10 yuan, and the rest will be reimbursed.

If there is no social security, it is best to take medicine yourself for minor illnesses or pains, or find a small clinic for treatment instead of going to the hospital. I have tried it myself. For a small fever and cold, go to the hospital for a blood test and get medicine. ,, it cost more than 130 yuan, and finally I had to go to a small clinic to get medicine and I was cured.

If there are no car loans, housing loans and other expenses, this is the most basic expense. So if both of them don't go to work, 10,000 yuan will only last more than a month in Yuhuan. Yuhuan is a heavy industrial city, and the wages for those with skills and brains are considerable. For those without skills, the wages are generally around 5,000-6,000.

Can 10,000 yuan really last a lifetime? I used to be cheated out of 5,000 yuan once I went out. This incident has always bothered me, so much so that now I dare not accept some given on the road. Flyers.

Let me not talk about these for now. Let me first talk about how long this amount of money will last in rural areas. Let’s talk about our family. Our family is from Zhejiang. In a rural area in Zhejiang, our food every day is mine. Mom grew it herself, but you said she didn’t do anything to raise her children, buy them clothes, or provide them with education.

Even if these don’t count, just imagine that you live alone in the countryside, with fields and land at home, and the vegetables you eat are all grown by yourself. Then, you don’t have to spend money, no. It's a place you spend money on, isn't it?

In fact, this is not the case. I don’t know about other places. Our village stopped raising pigs, chickens and ducks a few years ago because it would pollute the water source, and we stopped growing rice a long time ago, because rice of pesticides will affect other people's mulberry trees.

Everyone knows about the mulberry tree. It is used to show prestige to silkworm babies. Silkworm babies are very weak and will burst into pieces if they are not careful.

Therefore, when the rice is sprayed with pesticides, it is easy for the wind to spread it to mulberry trees far away. It is useless at all, so no one in the village grows rice.

So if you don’t grow rice or raise chickens, ducks and pigs, if you want to eat meat, do you have to buy it and spend money? Let’s calculate it as if each person eats one chicken per month and 3 pounds of meat. It costs about a hundred yuan a month.

In addition, I have to buy rice and salt every month. Although my family knows how to make rapeseed, this is not included. Rice, salt and seasoning cost about 100 a month.

These are the most basic. Let’s do the math again. The vegetables we usually grow ourselves are not counted artificially. Do we need to buy vegetable seeds? Many people may say that we can save the seeds from the previous year for sowing. .

This statement is correct, but not all vegetable seeds can be saved. You still have to buy many of them yourself, and vegetable seeds are not cheap.

Also, farming is not just about planting. There are many things that require chemical fertilizers, such as corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes. You may need to buy chemical fertilizers.

However, our family does not grow potatoes, only sweet potatoes. Because the village has a large population, the land allocated to each household is definitely not as much as in the north.

If you ask others to plow the land like you did when you were a child, you will still have to pay for labor.

These are the most basic needs for living in rural areas and farming on your own, and now the house uses electricity, such as TVs, refrigerators, lights, mobile phones, and the monthly phone bill and electricity bill must be at least dozens of yuan.

Moreover, we now have to pay rural social security every year. Last year, we paid 600 for medical insurance and 300 for pension. This amount is 900.

Even if you don’t buy any other clothes and only some meat for vegetables, just follow the minimum requirements I mentioned. I wonder if ten thousand yuan can last a lifetime.

So it’s great to know where the people who can live for a lifetime with 10,000 yuan come from.

In fact, money is very useless nowadays. Rural people will also go to the town to go to the market, buy some of their favorite food, or follow the trend and buy some impractical things.

According to the life of normal rural people, if you are not hardworking and simple, you can only live on 10,000 yuan, even if you can eat vegetables and drink water for free, you will not be able to live for a few years, and you will still be in good health.

The most important thing why rural people think they can save money without spending money is that they are diligent and plant all the land they have. If they plant more than they can eat, they will sell it, or they usually do small jobs to earn some money. money.

Moreover, in rural areas, you don’t have to rent a house and don’t have to buy a lot of food, so you can see a lot of savings.

This is a 10,000 yuan budget for living in rural Zhejiang. Counting daily living expenses and miscellaneous necessary expenses, it is at least 3.4 thousand a year, excluding children, only counting your own phone bill, electricity bill, and rural social security , eat some meat every month, buy seeds, phone bills, etc.

If you have 10,000 yuan in a city in Zhejiang, you can live on it for a year and a half, and you can live on it for a day or two if you can't.

What I remember most is myself. I was working in Hangzhou at that time, and I left my job with a friend out of loyalty.

After leaving my job, I still had 5,000 yuan left on hand. Later, I withdrew all the unemployment and provident funds. Because I only worked for a year, I didn’t withdraw much. It seemed that I had withdrawn a lot. 6,000 yuan.

The total is 11,000, and my friend also has 78,000. We both agreed to find another job or interview together.

But at that time, we had a little money and felt that we were not in a hurry to find a job, so we rented a house first for only 800 per month.

In fact, there are cheaper ones, the 4.500 one, but they are on the top floor of the attic. It is extremely hot in the summer and there is no air conditioning. We thought at the time that it would be temporary and not to make ourselves too uncomfortable.

Moreover, my friend and I were from AA for 800 yuan, so each of us only needed 400 yuan. The day after we rented the house, we went out to look for jobs.

But it was summer at that time, and every time we went out we felt hot before we went far. We thought we would go the next day when the weather would be less hot. As a result, day after day, we never found a job.

Once we wanted to go to the mall to see which clothing store needed people, and then we walked to the entrance of the mall. My friend said she had to go to the bank for something to transfer some money to her family, and asked me to wait for her here.

Before I had waited for a few minutes, a person handing out flyers stopped me. She pushed me with flyers while pulling me, and while pulling me, she told me that my skin condition was too bad.

She said that their store has free care kits, so she walked on the first floor of the mall.

It was only a few steps away. At that time, I listened to her talking non-stop, and I couldn’t control my feet. followed her and walked over.

When I arrived at the store, she asked me to lie down directly on a nursing bed. There were many people lying on the bed next to me.

I don’t know what I was thinking at that time, but I just heard her say, it’s free, I’ll give you free care, and you won’t have to pay a penny after the treatment.

At that time, I thought it was free anyway, so I could give it a try, so I lay down obediently. Unexpectedly, I finished the facial care and massage. She told me that the spots on my face were due to melanin deposits and that I needed to use their massager to wash out the melanin.

I didn’t understand this either, so I asked if there was any charge. She told me that the massage equipment was free, so I followed her to a recliner.

At first she put something unknown on my face, and then used a massager to wash my face. After washing, she showed me that a lot of black stuff had been washed out of my face.

I looked at it and saw that it was really dark, so I believed her. Later, after washing, she asked me to go to the front desk to pay.

I was stunned and asked: "Isn't it free?" She told me that the massage equipment was free, but the massage cream was very expensive.

I couldn't refute it at the time, so I could only accept the loss and just pay the money.

Unexpectedly, when I was about to pay, she told me that the melanin on my face could be completely washed away by washing it a few times. If you are a member, you will not be charged a penny if you use this product in their store in the future.

It is also said that a member can have sex twelve times. If you pay one time, it will cost 9,600 yuan, and one-time sex will only cost 5,000 yuan.

At that time, my body hurt, but the spots on my face were my biggest pain, and I always wanted to get rid of them. I thought it would be good if I spent this money to really get rid of it, but I couldn't believe them and felt that they would definitely cheat me.

At that time, I really didn’t want to be a member, so I told her that I didn’t have enough money with me. She said it was fine, as long as I had a card. I was really reluctant at the time, but she kept There she said: "There are two cash machines on the first floor of the mall. How about I accompany you to withdraw money."

Later, I had no choice but to withdraw 5,000 with her company. I signed up for a membership and walked out of the mall after signing up. I happened to see my friend waiting for me there. She asked me where I was and said she wouldn't answer the phone.

When I looked at my phone, I didn’t know when I had muted it, so I told her what happened before. My friend told me that I was stupid and that I had been tricked.

I am too embarrassed to talk about this kind of thing everywhere. I can only admit defeat once and stay away if I see this kind of thing in the future.

But because of this incident, I only had 5,000 out of the 11,000 I had, and the money I spent when I wasn’t working was several times more than when I was working.

When I go to work, I leave early and come back late. The company has dormitories and meals are also provided by the company. I only go shopping and buy clothes during holidays, and I only spend a few days a month.

When I am not working, I have to buy food every day, or go to a restaurant. A meal of fried shredded potatoes only costs 8 yuan, so at the end of the day, a person has to spend at least 20 yuan on food.

Because I don’t have a job, I go out shopping more often, and I often spend money unknowingly. I spend it until I run out of money, and then I realize that the money has been spent.

I remember that we spent all the money within less than 2 months of playing. I really don’t know what we spent it on.

So it’s really hard to say how long you can live with 10,000 yuan. Everyone’s level of spending money is different. In terms of normal expenses, prices in Zhejiang are not too expensive, and the rent may cost 1,800 yuan a month.

So if you don’t get tricked like me, please cook some food yourself.

Including phone bills, electricity and water bills, an average house costs about 2,000 yuan a month.

So ten thousand yuan should be enough to live on for about half a year. I didn’t cook for myself at that time, mainly because I lived temporarily and didn’t want to spend money on pots and pans for cooking.

This varies from person to person. Some people only need one month, and some people only need two months. I am more economical and can live for 5 to 6 months.
