Students who haven't seen you for a long time, come to play, do you need to rent a good car?

Comparison of consumption level between China and Australia

After returning to China for two years, I obviously feel that the living standard in China is not worse than that in Australia. Although the domestic price level is high (I mean the purchasing power of local currency), China people are richer than Australians. In China City, no matter what, every household has tens of thousands of dollars in deposits. In Australia, the average household owes 300,000 housing loans, and the handling fee is RMB (children under 20 years old), RMB. I often see people living in big houses and driving good cars on TV, but because of sudden illness at home, I don't have thousands of dollars, so I have to ask the society for help. What's going on here? Let me talk about it. This is not good. Do not hit me.

After paying taxes for a week, I have a little more money. Let's see how this 1000 yuan is spent:

Eat: rice, 1 block/kg; 0.7- 1.5 block/liter of edible oil; Salt, sugar, 0.7- 1 block/kg; Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar, soy sauce and Shaoxing cooking wine, 1 piece/bottle; Tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes, onions, broccoli, green beans, etc. , 2-4 pieces/kg; Shrimp, 12- 17 pieces/kg; Oysters, 8- 14 pieces/12 pieces; Fish, 10- 15/ kg (variety, size, price, double the price of live fish); Portunus, 10- 14/ kg (live); Big blue crab, 30-40 pieces/kg (live); Abalone, 1-4 pieces/piece; Pork belly, lean meat, tenderloin, large steak, 6-8 pieces/kg; Trotters,13; In chicken wings, 3-5 pieces/kg; Chicken breast, 8- 10 piece/kg; Eggs, 2.7 yuan/gram, double the free range.

Plasma TV is about 42 inches, LG and Samsung are cheaper, and Sony is more expensive. LCD TV 42 inches-about my Toshiba seat. Refrigerator, the seat is about one liter, which is bigger than my Mitsubishi. Bigger, about Shuangmen block. The best is GE or European products, which will increase by about 1 0,000. Washing machine, our LG, 6.5 kg automatic, gear. The size here is basically the same, and the price is similar. Computers are basically brands, such as Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Compaq and other blocks are top-notch, and notebook blocks are top-notch. Not to mention small household appliances, rice cookers, electric fans and so on. Only 100 dollars. Electricity, 90 yuan/quarter, water, 30 yuan/quarter, 30 yuan/month, we use less. Within 0.25 yuan/time. Regardless of time. For domestic calls, 10 yuan's card can be used for about 5 hours. Cost, block/quarter, property fee,/quarter, gas, 90 blocks/quarter.

Automobile: gasoline, 1.2- 1.4/ liter, which was 78 cents a liter three years ago. Car maintenance, registration fee RMB/year, basic insurance RMB/year, or all insurance RMB/year, plus maintenance RMB/year. Car, Korean car is the cheapest, like Hyundai and Qiya, the best model is 30 thousand, followed by Japanese car, Toyota, small car10.5 thousand, Xinjiamei, about 30 thousand. Four-wheel drive is more expensive, Ra40,000 or so, overbearing, land cruiser, 60,000. , 1.5 million, Accord Deluxe Edition, 30,000, European Edition, 35,000, leather seats, sunroof, GPS. There are Mitsubishi, Ford, Horton and so on. Between 30,000 and 40,000, and the four-wheel drive is 50,000 to 60,000. There are European cars on it, such as Volkswagen, Renault, Citroen and logo. It owns 30,000 vehicles including Volkswagen Beetle and Jetta. Passat needs 45,000 vehicles and four-wheel drive needs 80,000 vehicles. Even better, Lexus, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Saab, Jaguar and so on. Like BMW I, mercedes benz c, 60,000. Almost all of them cost more than 65438+ 10,000. Just like the BMW X3 I saw last time, the offer was 82,000. X5 at least 65438+ million. It is Porsche 654.38+ million, Ferrari 200,000, Bentley and Rolls-Royce 300,000. Generally, it costs 40 thousand to 50 thousand to buy a good car.

Dining out: McDonald's, KFC set meal, Hamburg+Coke+French fries, 6 yuan. Chinese food, three dishes for two people, 30-40 yuan, seafood is more expensive. I ate a lobster last week, about half a catty+fried steak, 70 yuan, two people. Western food, steak, like Long Star, 20 yuan alone, plus one often has coupons. Pizza hut pizza, 5.95 yuan for a large portion. Ok, beer, a cup of 3-5 yuan, about ml. Starbucks coffee, 3, a cup of 4 yuan.

Tourism: Package, 5-day tour in Hawaii, around RMB, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia, 5 days RMB. This includes round-trip air tickets and accommodation. No group, play by yourself. If you travel in China, a week is almost the same for one person. These figures may not be accurate, but they are similar. I played by myself, one-day tour in Canberra, 30 yuan, bus ride, student price, organized by the school. National Forest Park, tickets, 10 yuan/car (car), maximum 5 people. After playing in the Gold Coast for 5 days, several students rented a van to drive, kilometers. Accommodation, playing and eating total * * * yuan/person. Of course, the student period is relatively provincial. Admission to the theme park is 50 yuan/person, and all items are free after entry. For example, dolphin show, sea lion show, roller coaster, pirate ship and whitewater are all free to play.

It looks good, but it adds up to a lot of miscellaneous things. I feel that the price in Australia is lower than that in China. How can Australians have no money? Mainly consumption habits and children.

People in China or Asia like to save money and spend it, while Australians or westerners are used to paying back the money after losing it in borrow money to spend. For example, my colleague's travel expenses last year have not been paid off yet, and the annual interest is 17%. So all the money earned was given to the bank. Many people spend more because they earn more, and they are always in a state of paying back the money. It is said that Australia now owes 1 USD per card on average. I have three cards, which is relatively small. Calculate how long it will take everyone to return it. Fortunately, I never owe money.

Of course, the biggest project is children. Slaves have just appeared in China, and most people here have been slaves for several lifetimes. At present, the average loan for each house in Australia is 300 thousand, and the loan in Sydney is higher because of its high price. The Sydney area is flat at 540,000. 20%, that is, about 400,000 yuan for each loan. Borrowed 300,000 yuan, to be repaid every month, with a repayment period of 30 years. That is to say, 50% of my salary has been paid to the bank, and it will be paid back for 28 years. Think of those 670,000 children. No wonder the central bank raises interest rates, and many people earn less than 50 yuan a month. If you rent it, like my son's rent is nearly one yuan/week, it's worse.

Generally speaking, the basic price level is lower than that in China, such as food and clothing, but the money in the pocket is not as much as that in China. I have worked in a bank for half my life because everyone is in debt.
