In the 1980s and 1990s, when everyone was poor, people in rural areas were worried about food and clothing and accommodation. The family lives in a small space. At that time, there was really no money, and eating was a problem. But at that time, raising children was very simple and the cost of having children was very low. There is no need to go to the hospital every month when you are pregnant, there is no need to vaccinate your child frequently, and there is no need to cultivate your baby's hobbies.
Just because of the cost of living, people are afraid to give birth now. They are afraid that they can't afford to have children, have mortgages to pay, car loans to pay, property fees to pay, and a lot of money to travel abroad. Nowadays, people are afraid to have children. If they have children, they will buy houses for them in the future. They may never save enough down payment. In the future, they will buy cars, insurance and work for their children. By then, the bride price may be millions.
This is the reality, not only in rural areas but also in cities. When it comes to marriage, their parents worry about eating and drinking. If you can't change society, you can only change yourself and try to make money.
Let me tell you something about me. My brother's children spend about 60,000 yuan a year in primary school, 30,000 yuan in tuition, 20,000 yuan in remedial classes, and other expenses 1 10,000, and about 360,000 yuan in primary school for six years. When they enter junior high school, they will be higher. When they enter high school, they will begin to prepare to buy a house for their children. In the future, they will have to marry a wife. Without a house, they can't go to college.
