- I’m laying it all out for you guys! In this video, I talk about how much all of my bills are in Beijing, China, and for comparison, the averages of what the same things cost in the USA. Due to the low cost of living in Beijing, China, I have saved (I think) a decent amount of money. Do you guys think these prices are fair? What do you spend where you live? Leave a comment and let me know! Thanks for watching!~

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.
That's insanely expensive. I'm paying $4000 per year for our 3 bedroom house in a good suburb here in Canberra, Australia and I think that's a lot.
There are a lot of retired folks who have to get by with $24.5k a year from their pension!
That is a crazy amount to pay! Based on all the perks in China, including the no property tax thing, I am considering retiring here
@@beeroseinchinagood luck with your visa. 😅
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 Beijing.
Beijing 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.
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😂
Drugs. It is a huge contributor, all thanks to China.
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.
Now I understand why you are so laid back and chill on your videos. You are from the south of the US!
you know it!! 😉
It must be noted that the consumption level in Beijing is higher than that in other cities in China.
If you live in a small city in China, the expenses will be much lower.
exactly!!
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 shopping to next level, you can order your lunch box, and it creates more job opportunities.
The cost of living in Beijing 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
thanks for watching and really appreciate your support ❤️ more to come soon!
You have to strike a balance between how much you earn, you get and spend. I believe Beijing gives more high end job opportunities and higher income, at the end net saving and convenience justifies.
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 tipping culture, go to the restaurant only pay for the food, of course, now there are some restaurants to learn the tipping culture, this is not right!
In the USA , you got bills almost every day of per month, too much bills
When I went back to the States recently, I had reverse culture shock when I realized I had to tip again. It's nice not having to tip in China!
After 70yrs you can pay maybe $4000usd to get another 70yrs . I think.
@@peanut0brain If we assume that an adult is 20 years old and can control his income, when you use 20-30 years of savings to complete the house purchase process, you still have 40 to 50 years of use time, by this time you are 90 years old.
@@nuo.not1033 pay the 4k and save the house for the kid or let him her sell it for a profit
The American people are suffering from inflation.
However, many places in China are experiencing deflation, and prices are lower than a few years ago.
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.
Thanks for the cost of living in Beijing. 👍🏻
Hi BeeRose,
Can you tell us how you ended up in China, how you master the Chinese language and how you met your husband.
Looking forward to your videos.
I would love to talk about this stuff soon! Stay tuned~ and thanks for watching 😄

Suggestion: Make multiple videos, one for each topic. Limit each one to 10 minutes or less.
In California is $2900 for 3 bedrooms and two bath. Not including utilities.
this is so expensive 😓
guess you don't live in big cities. in Manhatan or SF, one bedroom is more than $5000.
It takes roughly $10,000/month in the SF Bay Area to live as a middle class family of 4.
It's amazing! Thank you very much!
BBC,CNN：so you took CCP"s money
😂
😂😂😂😅
Cost of living is incredibly affordable!! Melbourne Australia would be 4-5x the cost.
Also kudos to you for changing clothes for each section, that's effort! 😆
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.
5:18 so true.
❤❤
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！
my house in florida, water is more than $100 per month just for watering the lawn😭 even i don't live there for a single day,
Curious, what are the popular real estate websites in China? Thanks.
for renting, Ziroom is very popular amongst foreigners. www.ziroom.com/
for buying, beike and lianjia! bj.ke.com/ and bj.lianjia.com/
@@beeroseinchina Thanks for that info.! 👏
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～
Too bad they don’t have retirements visa option.
Vet bill is way off. My dog gets annual check up in Denver Colorado for roughly $550 every year.
❤
Beijing 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...
I'm paying 4000rmb per month for a 160sm 4 bedroom apt in chongqing , nice modern remodeling 😂
lower costs of living also comes with lower wages and vice versa. this only makes sense to people who are looking for places to retire and are on a fixed income, but then again why would you want to retire in a country with a gazillion people. it sounds stressful and not very relaxing if you ask me.
I am paying $110 Canadian for 150mbps in Toronto. My rent is $2300 Canadian per month for a 55 sq meters
so expensive holy moly 😓
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Internet in China surprisingly very cheap!! I wonder though, what's the average salary in China and can they afford that monthly costs vs US salary,
In fact, the Internet expense in this video is very expensive.
I have a friend who lives in Wuhan, and his monthly Internet (Broadwidth, 10M，can share to all equipments) fee for his house is RMB23, which is equivalent to USD3.24.
for locals, the average salary can be within a wide range of about 3,000RMB-13,500RMB
It doesn't make sense to compare cost of living without relating to the income
Didn't she paste in the thumbnail that she managed to save USD50K in two years? Thats 25k per yr or ~2k per mth. Thats ontop of her monthly expenses of ~2k a month. So her income should be ~4k-5k a mth
@@calvyncraven1141 nothing is mentioned about this in the video, remains guessing
unfortunately, I can't legally disclose what my salary is because of the contract I signed. But it seems like @calvyncraven1141 did the math! 😉
500 for electricity still a lot for that big apartment
I agree, I think we need to cut back somehow as a family and use less!
Why western girls in China dress modestly but not in America?
把你妹妹介绍给我呗，我还惦记着呢。would you please introduce me to you sister? I am still thinking about it. I have three apartments in Chengdu, we could live a pretty chill live style.
but u earn much more salary then us in Beijing,so ...
in france i pay what... 39$ unlimited data on phone 5G and 1000M internet, free education (yes including university) and we get (almost) free healthcare, does not mean life is not expesnive otherwise in france.
also ... various cost of living in various countries without an income reference per year is ... well uselss.
private school in china can be pretty expensive, my friend has a kid and he pays 50k usd a year in xiamen.
The average monthly salary in Beijing is around 13,442 yuan (approximately $1,920 USD).
Average in NYC $8,925
so .. yeah ... i mean basically who would have guessed things get more expensive when the average salary is higher ? flabbergasted
if you want to make thing actually fair.
State your income, and put various spendings as a total of your income. then you can comapre % spending from one country to another.
your apartment costing 5000RMB is the minimal wage (3500RMB) of most workers in my factory when i worked in sichuan for instance.
The French love to complain about their country, but I think life is pretty good there if you have a decent job of course.
I can't disclose my salary because I signed a contract saying I wasn't allowed to do so. if you google it though, you can get a rough idea. Also, it's hard to compare Beijing to Sichuan as rent in Sichuan is way cheaper on average
@@beeroseinchina you could just combine your household income without breaching anything. since you would not be stating related to your own only.
Your answer also perfectly goes with my statement, if you cannot compare beijing to sichuan both being in china, how can you realistically compare china to usa the way you do it.
Just lke i said without a reference, in your case Average income where you live and also your own household income, it's just numbers, nothing more.
And regarding the legality of said NDA:
such an NDA is deemed too broad and unreasonable, since its not related to trade secret or confidential business information and is generally deemed unenforceable in any chinese court as it directly goes against basic labor rights of workers to freely discuss and disclose their salary.
if i were you i'd ask the legality of that NDA to a lawyer because its dubious, just like a lot of things companies try to force own your throat when signing contract in china.
Show the Americans , Chinese bullet trains😂😂
How to love china?
step 1. Love communism!
step.2 Say Maodedong and Xijingping is the best!
step 3 Say Taiwan belongs to china
See this is how u love china 😎 also say china is the best!
Yes, you managed to save so much money after you carry out iron fist style control over your husband's money. Hee hee hee hee 😁😁😁😁
I pay 199 dollars water feee per month in California, most of the fee from the local government, the real water I only use around 20 dollars, the government charges a lot of weird fees which I really don’t understand
that's a lot to pay based on only $20 of water usage!
Housing market in CCPland is collapsing….haven’t you heard?
Western propaganda 😂
I would disagree on that. She hasn't arrived at that phase yet. Raising kids in China is the most expensive in the world. Due to the population size competing for the limited resources or jobs, parents invest a lot in their children's education. Watch this. She will most likely send her kids back to US for education when they are older.
Someone told me there is social credit and organs harvesting in China. Is it true?
Have you watched too much BBC,CNN？
Yes. Talk to people that been through it (Chinese in the US or outside of China). They usually protest outside of the Chinese embassy in the states.
Social credit is a like our credit rating. However, if you have bad credit in the US, you will just pay a higher APR.
In China, the government can lower your social credit if you do something bad (like critic Emperor Xi, or default on your mortgage).
You will not be able to take public transportation (except regular train). Can't register for government services (that includes your kids and their education/school).
Organ harvesting is pretty much well documented. There are even vans that kidnap people if you get matched with a powerful official.
In the west, you need to wait months or years for an organ. In China, with the right red envelop (bribe), you can wait for hours. ;)
The people that makes these claims and protest outside the embassies belong to the US-funded Falun Gong cult 😂. They believe the cult leader is the one true omnipresent God, more powerful than J Christ or Buddha, and with magical Creator powers. These claims are a golden ticket to political asylum in Western countries and the social welfare system. In Australia these people go on the dole and spend everyday standing outside the embassy, with no intention of ever working
@@drflat9223Did your brains got harvested ?😊
@@tkh2944 Your mom harvested my seed with her mouth very nicely son.
🏞️🤔tq for answers between the two
