I just figured out that I could rent my home out, pay a 30% management fee to an agent, Move to China and live *VERY* well without even touching my pension!
If it’s a government pension do you think that would continue in China? It might get cut off. Makes it tricky if you have to do maintenance on your house here.
@@miriam2909I know a few British expat living in China still getting their UK pension without problem. Frankly the British government would much perfer the OAP leave the UK so they can cut back on NHS and not vote for UKIP or Reform. The bigger difficulty is getting a Chinese residentship, which is notoriously difficult without a Chinese spouse or a work visa.
My road in South East London, 10 miles form the centre. 65 sqm. 2 bed. split level. To rent would be +/_ £1,500 per month (At least! according to local agents on the internet) Electricity £40-50 Gas £30 (average) Water £40 Internet. +/- 50? (I use my phone as a hotspot so much less) Services n/a . So rounding up, £1,700 and with the exchange rate at 9Rmb /£ That's About 15,300 rmb PER MONTH (Yes, Fifteen THOUSAND) .... And I'm NOT in a particularly expensive area
Nice to know about Russian Christmas and New Year. Is water drinkable from the faucet or does it need to be boiled? How fluent are you both in Chinese?
I'm glad you find it useful! We drink water that we buy at the water vending machine in the yard. I honestly don't risk to drink any tap water anywhere. About our Chinese - we can freely communicate about any daily topic, but I bet it still sounds quite weird for natives😄

@@accentedlife Damn. Malaysia here that will only get us 100mbps. BUT rent is extremely cheap if you live 2nd tier cities outside the capital. RMB 820 for round the same size as your apartment but single story terrace house. Outside food prices is around the same.

@@moss550 that’s the British. I think Australian rules are different
Compared to how many expats who're living here in Sydney Australia, you're both very fortunate to be living in a very modern affordable lifestyle.
Yeah, I really appreciate that! How it in Sydney?

ooo。。。expensive
Oh damn... That's a lot. I think the plan about renting out your house and moving to China is not a bad idea :D
@@accentedlife I agree with you 👍👍
If you stay in major cities like Beijing or Shanghai the rent will be at least double or more
Merry Christmas and happy new year to you my Russian friend.
Thanks! Happy New Year! 🎉

Nice apartment ,have a nice day
Thank you! You too👍
Nice apartment. You wouldn’t get that in Australia for less than $600 a week. Not that close to the city
$600 a week??? It's not a typo?
@accentedlife not a typo. It would be $2400 per month but we pay weekly in Australia
Love the bumblebee shark.
How much for internet?
170 RMB (23,8 USD) for unlimited home WiFi for 1 Gb/sec per month

Even better! Nice!
Oh wow, that's really good! Would love to go to Malaysia one day!
Comfortable , so what percentage it costs a normal, say middle class family's income?
China's middle-class families do not rent houses. More than 95% of Chinese people own houses.
In Indonesia home also use that kind of flooring, we use ceramic, or granite. My home use granites but bathroom use ceramics.
Very convenient 👍 Love your country btw!
廚房面積不算少.香港更少!!!!
Oh god, how to cook there then?

Oo…Ra❤
我告诉你为啥中国的电梯没有4，那是因为4这个数字读音很像死，所以电梯是不可能有4的
他不是解答了吗？
WTH.
He already explained in the video.
Looks like you skipped that part.
