A rural family
How much does it cost to live in a rural area for a month? This question is indeed difficult to answer, because no one has actually done statistics, so there is no exact data. In fact, rural areas in different places have different living standards and different consumption.
Every day’s basic necessities of life depend on money, including water bills, electricity bills, Internet bills, companionship, entertainment items, food expenses, buying clothes, and a series of expenses that cost an average of 100,000 yuan per month. It costs a lot of money, but how big is the difference in each region?
The first category of regions includes Beijing, Shanghai, and Zhejiang
Most of these regions are located along the coast The region has the most developed cities in my country. Rural residents in these cities have higher consumption levels, and their consumption concepts are on par with those in cities and towns. Rural residents in developed areas have relatively high expenditures on food, housing, transportation and communications, as well as culture, education and entertainment, indicating that these residents pursue a higher quality of life. Living consumption expenditure is mainly concentrated between 3,000 and 5,000.
The second category of areas includes Tianjin, Jiangsu, Fujian, Shandong, and Guangdong.
The cities and rural areas in these areas have coordinated development. Overall, the comprehensive economic level of these areas ranks among the provinces and cities in the country. It is relatively high, but there are obvious regional differences within the province. Some cities have obvious development advantages and are much higher than the provincial average. However, there are also some areas where the development level lags far behind the provincial average, so on average they are at a medium level compared with the national level. Living consumption expenditure is mainly concentrated between 2000-4000.
The third category includes Hebei, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Guangxi, Hainan, Chongqing, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Tibet, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, and Xinjiang
These areas are mostly located in inland or remote areas in the west, with low levels of development. The pace of economic development of rural residents in various regions is inconsistent, and their consumption levels are also inconsistent. Due to the influence of income level, consumption environment, consumption structure, consumption concept, and commodity supply structure, the consumption development of residents in remote rural areas is still relatively backward. Living consumption expenditure is mainly concentrated between 1,000 and 2,000.
It can be seen from the above data that the degree of economic development in different regions determines the consumption expenditure of rural residents to a large extent. According to statistics, the national living consumption expenditure ranges from 3532.9443 to 4807.7334 yuan. Take a look at which area you belong to. Do you feel that your living expenses are averaged out again?
Many people believe that the cost of living in big cities is relatively high, and there are relatively large expenses every month. , so many people yearn for life in rural areas, thinking that in rural areas, they only need to have small expenditures and expenses to ensure a normal life every day. However, many times, living in rural areas, monthly expenses may not be what we think. so low.
Compared with living in the city, the biggest monthly expense saved by living in the countryside is probably the mortgage. When living in the countryside, you often live in your own house. , you don’t need to consider renting a house or paying off a mortgage, but just like living in a city, living in a rural area requires you to pay normal utility bills every month, so in terms of utility bills, the expenses in rural and urban areas are similar. It should cost about two to three hundred per month.
In terms of food expenses, the advantage of rural areas over cities is that you can grow your own vegetables in rural areas. In cities, food expenses for a month often cost around 2,000 yuan, but in rural areas, a family of three can grow their own vegetables. In terms of food, the cost of food should be half of that in the city, which is only 1,000 yuan. However, in rural life, if it is communication costs and home Internet fees, they are the same as those in the city, and in daily transportation On the one hand, transportation in rural areas is not as convenient as in cities, so the cost of travel in rural areas is much higher than in cities, and cities need better transportation, medical and other supporting facilities.
To sum up, for a family of three living in rural areas, their monthly expenses are often around 3,000 yuan. Compared with ordinary families living in cities, if If you don’t have a mortgage, living in a rural area will actually save you a lot of money compared to living in a city.
