Americans have more medical insurance and old-age insurance when they are old, and have no worries about the future. In addition, the inheritance tax is relatively high and it is not economical to leave it to future generations. Social stability and economic stability have not changed much for decades. Trade unions are relatively developed, so as long as you work hard, you basically don't have to consider being fired. With a developed economy, it is simply too easy to satisfy food and clothing.
Wear it on your body, look good, please others, eat it on your face and enjoy it yourself. It is understandable that an official travels thousands of miles, eating first, then wearing clothes. Everyone has a different lifestyle and pursues different things. People in China exchange clothes, watches and cars for money. The less money they have, the more afraid others will know. That's why I've met people who can't afford gasoline when driving a Mercedes. They don't need to see anyone abroad, as long as they live their own lives and are comfortable. They go to play when they are free, and they are all family-oriented. There are few friends gathering, so people rarely consume goods with poor cost performance. China people are willing to compare and show off, always pretending to be a bit.
It is said that Americans have little money left after deducting fixed expenses from their monthly income. How much money do ordinary China people have left after deducting fixed expenses every month? Mortgage, children's education, five insurances and one gold, as well as gas costs, do we have a small fixed expenditure? How much do we have after deducting these? Do we have 800 yuan RMB? Can 800 yuan RMB buy 150 USD clothes in the United States?
Everything involving labor is expensive, and the income involving basic materials is relatively cheap compared with that of the United States. For example, you get a haircut, for example, you ask others to help you decorate your house, for example, you ask others to repair your broken electrical appliances, and so on. There are also dozens of dollars of clothes in China, in fact, quite a lot.
Most Americans earn around 50,000 a year. After deducting all kinds of taxes, insurance, mortgage and car loan, how much is left? Since you are in Seattle, haven't you observed which groups usually spend more money? Besides, Seattle is already a high-income area in the United States. How many Seattle are there in America? I'm also in Seattle. Why don't I feel that America is rich? My wife is studying languages at a community college in Bellevue. In class, the teacher asked a China classmate what to do on Saturday. She replied that she bought a pair of shoes without doing anything and asked how much it cost. Answer 800 yuan.
As a result, the teacher's eyes almost fell out, and the whole class was talking about these shoes. For ordinary Americans, it is inconceivable for 800 yuan to buy a pair of shoes. University teachers are not poor, are they? Even if they haven't bought it, they won't be surprised to that extent. This shows that they have never heard of it at ordinary times, so they are shocked. Most people who buy those luxury goods in Seattle are from China, and of course many of them are purchasing agents. Most Americans don't have much money. Didn't you see the investigation report of that bank? Eighty percent of the American people can't afford a thousand dollars emergency, and 60 percent can't afford a four hundred dollars emergency. What is this concept? I believed it at first, but now I believe it. After calculating most of my salary, I can spend no more than 20 cents after deducting the tax of 7788. Where can I save money? The income of most working-class people in the United States is estimated to be $3,000-5,000 per month. More than 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a month. Besides, prices in America are really not low. 10 yuan can buy a mobile phone case on our domestic Taobao. Even including postage.
I do Amazon in the United States, and the mobile phone cases sold to American customers are all more than six or seven dollars, which is equal to forty or fifty RMB. Mobile phone cases that sell a few dollars at home have become dozens abroad. In contrast, the price level in China is still low. It is incomplete to draw the conclusion that the price level of the United States is lower than that of China by comparing individual commodities.
American middle class is unwilling to spend money on clothes? Then why did I see many people wearing Armani suits with thousands of dollars at the meeting? Many people wear expensive watches? Just wear different clothes on different occasions. Wear cheap clothes at ordinary times, and rent high-end clothes even if you rent them at meetings. 800 yuan can provide a family with food for a month in the United States. Can I eat air when I buy clothes? Every time I return home, people in China say that Americans don't save money because they spend money in advance. Americans travel, exercise and so on all day, as if living a very happy and sunny life. Let me ask the person who said this again, have you ever been to America? Shit, I've never been abroad. It's all hearsay
The salary of most people in America is not high. After deducting taxes, insurance and other messy expenses, there are not many expenses that can be used for living. Every month counts. The annual salary of 50 thousand belongs to the middle class in the United States After deducting 25% income tax from 50,000 yuan, and then deducting the unavoidable expenses such as medical insurance, home insurance, property tax and mortgage repayment, the remaining living expenses are running out. Of course, there are still 800 yuan left. But you have to spend money. Many American husbands work, and their wives take care of their children at home until their children graduate from high school, and then women go out to look for jobs. Why? Because American kindergartens are too expensive, the salary is sometimes not enough to send children to Xiao Yuan. Why don't you take care of the children at home and let people buy 800 yuan of clothes? That must be reluctant. Don't brag about America. More than half of those who boast about America have never even been abroad. Some people travel as if they know the whole world. It's really funny.
