dream to have my own house

522 views. 2011-8-3 11:23

I have  been here more than one year, but  I still live in the dorm of my company. there is no refrigerator,no washing machine.i felt very inconvenient. we have a kitchen, but half of the machine can not work. I have asked someone to repair, but some of them cannot work again. they are too old, I talked to my boss, but it's no use at all. our company rented the house for my colleagues, we have two dorms altogether, the other one is much better, most of colleagues lives there. mine only have two person. one of my colleagues lives in the main room which is much bigger and clean. I do the cleaning including the kitch and the living room because outside the main room is all my space.actually the other rooms are empty. After work, I prepare the dinner for myself. later, I will read some books before I go to bed. but now, Iwant to rent a house by my own. because every month I have to pay a lot of money for electricity and water which is not used by me. my room mate search the internet very late everyday, and he never turn off his air-condition in the evering. Iam quite bother  by this. Idon't know how to deal with this. am I too mean? my colleages advise me move to another dorm, but I think it's not proper for me to do so. what can I do? to have a talk with my roommate? but how? Oh, my god? I will crazy!

two points here:
1)  Maybe you really should have rent some house else, if it cost not too much or just as lot as you spend now.
2)  why not live with your boyfriend, if have not yet, try to find one.
good luck!

Yes. It is really hard to live with so much inconvenience. Washing clothes by hand is so tiring and nobody wants to do it especially in the cold days of winter and hot days of summer. A washing machine can save a lot of time for rest. The kitchen should also have good basic appliances. If the kitechn is not efficient, you will not want to eat after cooking because you will be so tired.

I also lived in Baiyun area of Guangzhou. The average worker earns 1800-2200 per month, The rent for a reasonable house would be 500-900. You also have to pay for electricity water etc. In addition you also have to buy food and pay for transportation, so nothing is left. Most people have to share rent and food to have some money savings for use in emergency.

Many things are easy to say but not so easy to do. My sympathy for you.

It is really a good thing to have a house own by oneself. you can enjoy the freedom, the comfort, and you can apply your time flexibly. Good Luck to you.

i guess you have to tolerate the inconvenience for the time being. as a new member of the workforce, it is kind of impossible to buy a house of your own. maybe you can rent a place together with one of your colleagues. hopefully things will change for the better in 5 years or so.
