Each country has different cultures, and therefore different social habits will be formed. For example, Chinese people attach great importance to the concept of "family", and most people value the family, so the demand for houses may be higher, although the current Prices are soaring and houses are very expensive, but many people still want to have their own homes.
However, in the United States, due to cultural differences and the gap between China and the West, the United States also has a very different status quo from China. European and American cultures value hedonism, especially in the family and house, although it is also It attaches great importance to the family, but there is no enthusiastic pursuit of the house. This has also resulted in the fact that even if the price of the house in the United States is very cheap, there is no competition to the point where the crowds are empty.
For the Chinese, most people are still good at taking precautions, their consumption concepts are more conservative, and their sense of crisis is more sufficient. Saving money can be said to be one of the Chinese characteristics. Saving money to buy a house is even more normal. However, the United States is here. It is slightly different in terms of consumption. The concept of consumption is more inclined to enjoyment, and the concept is more open. It is basically difficult for the younger generation to save money to buy a house, let alone spend the whole family to buy a house, and more people even rent a house. The idea of happier than buying a house.
Secondly, it is still a living habit. Chinese people pay attention to "parents stay, do not travel far". Many people will live in one place for the rest of their lives. Few people will be used to drifting around. For Chinese people , Having a suitable house can also make you feel more at ease. However, the American living habits are also the opposite. The population flow is fast. Unless settled, most people are more willing to run around the world. Many people are more yearning to live on the road. It may not be necessary for them.
The last and most fundamental point is money. It is well known that although housing prices in developed countries basically meet the income level of most people, buying a house itself does not actually cost a lot of money, but buying a house requires To pay a lot of taxes, if the house needs to be inherited to descendants in the future, you will have to pay a high inheritance tax. In addition, the repair and maintenance of the house includes various miscellaneous expenses, which add up to a very considerable amount of funds. For Americans, renting a house may not have a high cost of buying a house, and if the money from buying a house is used for renting, the money saved can also be invested in financial management or upgrade themselves. For Americans who pay more attention to pleasure, how to choose It's clear at a glance.
But no matter how you say it, life is your own. Only by choosing a way you like can you live this life well.
