How I Have Saved Over $50,000 in Two Years in China

我在中国两年攒下5万美元，怎么做到的？

I’m laying it all out for you guys! In this video, I talk about how much all of my bills are in Beiing, China, and for comparison, the averages of what the same things cost in the USA. Due to the low cost of living in Beiing, China, I have saved (I think) a decent amount of money.

我把一切都告诉你们！我谈到了我在北京的账单是多少，对比同样的东西在美国的平均花费是多少。由于北京的生活成本较低，我已经存了我认为一笔可观的钱。

以下是外国网友的评论：

Chaoyang, the area she lives in, would be considered the Chelsea area of both London and NYC. It is a expensive neighborhood with similar vibes.  So the living cost will be higher compared to other areas of Beiing.

Beiing functions on a ring road system. The further out you go from the city center, the cheaper it gets. The east and north side are also more expensive compared to the west and south side.

她住的朝阳区可以对标伦敦和纽约的切尔西区。高端的社区，有着相似的氛围。

因此，与北京其他地区相比，这里的生活成本会更高。

北京是环城公路网，离市中心越远，房价就越便宜。

东边和北边也比西边和南边贵。

Internet speed in China is extremely fast. I went to a small village (!!) during the last Christmas holiday and checked the Internet speed there, it's >600Mbps. I use Comcast's 600Mbps plan in Silicon Valley (!!!) and the actual speed never exceeds 300Mbps. Looks like Internet going to every house in China is optical fiber based, I was so amazed.

中国的网速非常快。去年圣诞节假期我去了一个小村庄，那里的网速>600Mbps。

我在硅谷用的是Comcast的600Mbps套餐，实际速度从来没有超过300Mbps。

看起来中国每家每户的互联网都是光纤的，我很惊讶。

What makes China a good place to retire is the fact that it has no property tax. A retired person basically has no cost of living except food, water, electricity, and internet in China. My grandparents bought their old house in upstate New York for $6,000, the house was evaluated to be $860k by the county and their property tax is $24.5k a year. A bit crazy for retired old couple.

中国之所以是一个退休的好地方，是因为它没有房产税。在中国，一个退休的人除了食物、水、电和互联网之外，基本上没有其他生活成本。我的祖父母在纽约北部以6000美元的价格买下了他们的老房子，房子评估价是86万美元，他们的财产税是每年2.45万美元。对退休老夫妇来说有点疯狂。

It must be noted that the consumption level in Beiing is higher than that in other cities in China.If you live in a small city in China, the expenses will be much lower.

必须指出的是，北京的消费水平高于中国其他城市。如果你住在中国的小城市，消费会低得多。

Wireless Internet is classified infrastructure in China, just like the old Chinese saying, 'Wanna get rich? built a road to your place first'. Speedy internet brings online shop to next level, you can order your lunch box, and it creates more job opportunities.

在中国，无线互联网是一种机密基础设施，就像中国的一句老话：要致富，先修路。”

快速的互联网将网上购物提升到一个新的水平，可以订购午餐，创造了更多的就业机会。

The cost of living in Beiing is among the highest in China. A second or third tier city would be more affordable, and the quality of life is just as good, if not better

北京是中国生活成本最高的城市之一。二三线城市的生活成本更低，生活质量也一样好，甚至更好

U.S. is ranked no.1 in the world on healthcare spending,

yet the average life expectancy of Americans is the lowest among all developed countries

在医疗支出上美国排名世界第一。然而，美国人的平均预期寿命是所有发达国家中最低的

Buying homes in China is different from buying homes in the United States. Once you pay the full price of the purchase, you will get 70 years of use of the house, and no longer pay a percentage of the value of the house every year for life.

The Chinese do not like the various complicated taxes on the purchase of products, the service fees for using products, and the price is the final cost. There is no tip culture, go to the restaurant only pay for the food, of course, now there are some restaurants to learn the tip culture, this is not right!

在中国买房和在美国买房不一样。一旦你支付全款，你将获得70年的房屋使用权，并且不再每年支付房屋价值的一定百分比的税费。

中国人不喜欢购买产品时各种复杂的税费，使用产品的服务费。

中国没有给小费的文化，去餐厅只付餐费，

当然，现在也有一些餐厅跟进给小费的文化，这是不对的

Family of 4 in sugar land Texas. Monthly cost for our household is $6500 per month.   We need to move to Louisiana or Beiing.

一家四口住在德克萨斯州。我们家每月的开销是6500美元。我们得搬去路易斯安那或者北京。

The American people are suffering from inflation.

However, many places in China are experiencing deflation, and prices are lower than a few years ago.

美国人民正遭受通货膨胀之苦。然而，中国许多地方正在经历通货紧缩，物价比几年前低。

In Denver Colorado, you have to make 100k to be considered a middle income person who can afford rent, food and other expenses, but you still won’t be able to afford buying a house, not even close.

在科罗拉多州丹佛市，赚10万美元才被认为是中等收入，可以负担得起房租、食物和其他费用，但你仍然买不起房子，甚至差得远。

dlf4298

Yeah We are planning to move back to china next year. Been Live in USA for 4 years now. The cost of living is nuts. Btw. My wife is from the South too! Tennessee～

我们计划明年搬回中国。在美国生活了4年了，生活成本高得离谱。顺便说一句，我妻子也是南方人，田纳西州的

It takes roughly $10,000/month in the SF Bay Area to live as a middle class family of 4.

在旧金山湾区，一个中产阶级,四口之家每月大约需要花费1万美元。

Beiing is one of the most expensive city in China, and Louisiana, i suppose, is not the most expensive state in US... I can't imagine how much cost if you are living in NYC...

北京是中国生产成本最昂贵的城市之一，而路易斯安那州不是美国生活成本最昂贵的州…我无法想象如果你住在纽约要花多少钱……

I live in the US and I don’t have to pay for my insurance. My employer pays for it. As an engineer with 1 year of experience, I am making only ~$60,000 a year though and a raise every year until it is capped out. I pay for my dental for $50 a month. I live with someone so I don’t have to pay for rent which takes some stresses away.

我住在美国，不需要支付保险，我的雇主付了。作为一名有1年经验的工程师，我每年只挣6万美元，而且每年都加薪。我每月付50美元的牙医费。我和别人住在一起，不用付房租，可以减轻一些压力。

在加州，3室2卫的租金是2900美元，不包括水电费。

It is nearly impossible to live in the US. One month of work sometimes isn’t enough to pay for rent. Prices of products went up but my salary did not go up.

在美国生活几乎是不可能的，一个月的工资有时还不够付房租。产品价格上涨了，但我的工资没有涨。

Apartments are cheaper here in Tbilisi Georgia! I only pay $400 a month for rent! I can get a 2 bedroom apartment (if I wanted) for between $500 to $700 a month! And everything is cheap here. WiFi, Electric, Gas, Water and FOOD! I am only living on SSDI ($1600 a month) and I live very comfortably! and YES, I feel safe here!

格鲁吉亚第比利斯的公寓更便宜！我一个月只需付400美元的房租！如果我愿意的话，每月花500到700美元可以租一套两居室的公寓！这里的一切都很便宜。WiFi、电、气、水和食物！我只靠SSDI生活(每月1600美元)，我过得很舒服！是的，我在这里很有安全感

just googled the electricity price in Lousiana, only 9.37 cents, nearly the same price as in China.

我在网上搜索了一下路易斯安那州的电价，只有9.37美分，几乎和中国一样。

Too bad they don’t have retirements visa option.

可惜他们没有退休签证选项，不然过去养老。

user-qm1nq5fk2l

I totally agree with you, because I also live in Beiing. If you want to enjoy life in China and not work, then it is not recommended to live in the big cities of Beiing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen; High cost of living, congestion, car pollution will bring you trouble, of course, here also has the best medical care, services, schools, high-end restaurants, shop malls, etc., respect your choice, wish you a happy life in China!

完全赞同你的观点，因为我也住在北京。如果你是为了在中国享受生活，不工作，那么不推荐在北京  上海  广州  深圳这些大城市生活；生活成本高 ，拥堵，汽车污染都会给你带来困扰，当然这里也有最好的医疗、服务、学校、高档餐厅、商场等等，尊重你的选择，祝你在中国生活愉快！

The bottom line is you make more money in eastern countries and you also save more money.Because in eastern countries they don’t focus on a certain class or group of people unlike America,Germany,France,Canada.When I think of China,United arab emirates I think of new age money.

在东方国家赚到的钱更多，省的钱也更多。因为在东方国家，他们不像美国、德国、法国、加拿大那样关注某个阶级或群体。说到中国、阿联酋时，我想到的是新时代货币。

I'd say the most major part of living in the US is cost in health care and education.

我想说，在美国最主要的生活支出是医疗保健和教育成本。

Curious, what are the popular real estate websites in China? Thanks.

好奇，在中国有哪些热门的房地产网站？谢谢。

gelinrefira

You have to factor in the cost of owning a car because you literally cannot get anywhere in the US without a car. You cannot use NYC subway or any public transportation as a comparison because that is not available for like 90% of the US population

你必须考虑到拥有一辆车的成本，因为在美国，没有车你哪里都去不了。你不能用纽约地铁或任何公共交通工具来做比较，因为90%的美国人都坐不上地铁

ttemp2631

It doesn't make sense to compare cost of living without relating to the income

不考虑收入而比较生活成本是没有意义的

chinaiscoming1017

The problem is that in China, even in a city like Beiing, many people earn less than $500 a month

问题是在中国，哪怕是北京这样的城市，也有很多人一个月收入只有500美元不到
