[quote=JIMMYB,259528]Quote: Well, what’s wrong with renting if you can’t afford to buy? It’s not just in China. It is the same everywhere. You have to buy a house on installment unless you are a millionaire. SHESGOTTOBE. Home means too much for a Chinese. Without a home, they feel that they are just like rootless duckweed in the pond. When they get their own home, they are just like trees that have rooted in the earth. Of course, they can rent a house for living. But they can not rent a house and live in it in their lives. That is Chinese people's traditional concept. Then you can understand why your friend's future parents in law require a house for their daughter. "Marrying later is a trend all over the world. It is because there is less pressure to marry and being single is celebrated as well." Well, some Chinese people would like to be a single and marry later. But many of them have no choice but to do so because they can not afford a house. They marry later just because they face much pressure. Sometimes, parents urge their children to get married because they want to see their grandchildren. " Well, no. I’m already paying my monthly mortgage. If we marry, we can live on it. If he has his own house, we can decide if we want to sell or rent out the other one or buy a different house altogether." SHESGOTTOBE, you are really a good girl. Do you think that they will live on your house if he could not afford to buy a house? I do not know what foreigners do if they were invited to live in their wife's house. In China, most men wouldn't do so. Why? Men usually are the support of the family. If they could not buy a house for his wife, he will be looked down and laughed at by others. Some may say that you are a loser who just depend on women. They won't do it just for the sake of their self-esteem and dignity. [/quote]
