Many readers may look at this topic and say that the subject must be unrealistic. It’s not too difficult for a programmer to save a million dollars in ten years. But put money in the bank, eat interest, a month want to take 6 thousand interest is very difficult!

But I don’t want to talk about topics. That’s a little boring. I’d like to talk about what lies behind the subject, which reveals a mood of apathy towards rural life and weariness with the struggles and struggles of urban work.

Just brush a movie, the type of animation, Tiannv Plain clothes accidentally came to huaguo Mountain, immersed in the beautiful scenery can not extricated themselves, linger, she sighed: “Life is very boring, not as interesting as this Huaguo mountain, if I can stay here all the time.”

The mentality of plain clothes is the same as the mentality when we go out to travel during holidays. After living in the city for a long time, we will be tired of feeling tired. We don’t want to work, don’t want to traffic, and want to escape from the city, so we will go to scenic spots and countryside in our spare time to find carefree happiness.

Just to the scenic spot is happy, comfortable, but to play the second day, the third day, will be inexplicably out of another mood – or go back to work ah.

I think it is because I have worked too much overtime and become exhausted, so I want to explore the possibility of another life.

Ten years of hard work in the big city, some savings, back home to live a comfortable life.

If he is comfortable working and living in a big city, I don’t think he will want to go back to the countryside.

I came from the countryside, every time I go back, the village will give me such a feeling: “depression”, “cold”, “lifeless”, as if in a short time will be eliminated by The Times.

But this does not prevent me from another feeling, if I have money, must build a villa in my hometown, when I am old, go back to retirement, as my holiday resort.

When we are tired, what we need is rest, what we need is quiet, instead of blindly playing chicken blood:

Subject, give up your unrealistic illusion, you still have to work hard, you still have to struggle! If you are 25 years old now and only 35 years old in 10 years, a million won’t be enough for your retirement. The bank interest rate is so low, a million fixed deposit for five years, the annual interest is only 33,000, the average to a month only 2750, far from a month of 6000 interest!

This kind of blood will only make us bored, will only make us more tired.

Take me for example, the software environment in Luoyang is really unsatisfactory. When I feel frustrated, I also have the idea of going to Zhengzhou or even going to Guangzhou or Shenzhen to struggle. But after the impulse, I become calm, now that I am back, I should look for new income, in addition to salary.

Programmers are not “retarded”, as if in addition to typing code really can not survive; It seems that once you leave the big city, you only have to deliver food and drive didi.

No!

We have brains, can think, can learn, can do, not BB. I joined the work in 2010, so it has been 10 years since then. He didn’t save a million, but he did survive in Luoyang. Even if I can’t survive in the future, I will find another way out and not starve to death.

In other words, the subject is taking one million, return to rural life, also won’t eat interest only, I believe he will have other income, the lowest, pick up some remote outsourcing total can?

Some readers may wonder: What about marriage and children? Is a million dollars still enough?

It is true that in some places, especially in rural areas, the cost of getting married can be prohibitively high, to the point of breaking the bank. But if you look at it that way, two million, let alone a million, won’t do it. And then there’s sickness and accidents — if you take all that into account, you can’t stand it in a big city, let alone in the country!

I do not recommend readers who have no savings and have not bought a house to suddenly move from a big city to a small city, because although the cost of living is lower, the income is also lower – it will not change the helpless and miserable state.

But if had deposit, had bought a room, can try to return small city life really. If nothing else, maybe I’ll have a friend to drink with and talk to.

Do not solidify thinking, do not easily to another state of life to make negative.

Before the rocket group chat, “Tencent first net red” (Aobing added) shuaidi said, “I most envy the life of the second brother.”

To be honest, I’m not particularly happy with my life. On a scale of one out of ten, I’d give it a seven. The three points lost include:

  • Not a desirable job (handsome in Tencent, I am very jealous);
  • Lack of friends to spend a lot of time with (hehe);
  • I couldn’t ask for anything more.

Jacky Cheung has a song “Worry Song”, I particularly like, there are such lyrics: “Get hands do not need, desire to have not. It really speaks for most people.

Handsome ground say envy my life, but say true word, I quite envy handsome ground and ao third’s life condition, they are young and promising, be in a line of big factory, the job is ideal model job, side business does wind fresh water to rise again, the future is boundless.

Ask myself, I have countless times and the subject of the same idea, have a million deposit, whether in the bank or yu ‘ebao, or buy some capital preservation fund, eat some interest every day, maintain the basic living condition, and then do a freelance earn some pocket money to supplement the family, feel happy.

Need not like now, bear the pressure of mortgage, bear the pressure of family expenses, the whole person can not stop completely, dare not stop, run and run.

No, put on your headphones and code.

Life does not need too much money, too much money will bring trouble

Overweight backpack, excessive petulance, what do not call together, without trouble, in addition to breathing other not important in addition to now what forget, worry like feathers, floating more free and unfettered
