Some ambiguous attitude towards apartments. I open the newspaper, emphasize the ads: one -room apartment in my area costs 27,500 at. e., Little family $ 23,000, extreme floors – a couple of thousand cheaper. We are already so accustomed to high prices that these figures personally do not seem to me sky -high. What is $ 20,000? At the same time, you get a roof over your head, moderate comfort and relative independence, which most modern youth seeks.
We are already used to prices, yes. We calmly perceive such amounts and understand that in a country where everything is expensive for housing can not be cheap. I begin to transfer the amounts of dollars into Belarusian rubles and I think so: the same 20 thousand in Belarusian transfer – 170 million rubles. After laying a month one and a half million, you can pick up the indicated amount after 10 years. It is not possible for me to postpone anymore. But this is me, a single guy. A young family?..
With the advent of children and indeed, with age, needs are growing, and the need for comfort is growing even more. Remembering my student years, I can say, now I would have done with a huge non-profit what I did in my student years with enthusiasm: I went to the other end of the city, fulfilled someone’s requests only because someone needed it that way. Now I’ll think a hundred times before you get. No, of course, if a friend asks for help-I will help without question, but in order to prove something to someone-my good faith or trouble-free-here you can leave.
10 years – not many, if you start putting it on an apartment at 15 years old. You look – by the age of 25 you are already collecting the right amount. But it is so arranged in our country that at the age of 15 to start postponing and earn such amounts is simply unrealistic. And at 25 start to accumulate in order to get the necessary by 35-it’s too late. It’s the time when I want to start a family when you want comfort, you have to amuse yourself with hopes.
It turns out that we are already accustomed to prices, and life has remained unbearable to this issue. We are used to it, but our salaries are not. We have plans and aspirations that are sometimes broken about realities. Life constantly makes its own adjustments to these plans.
