I lived in Korea for a couple of months, and yes it is true that many things are expensive in the country, but many Korean people are obsessed with luxury. Koreans often complained about inflation, salaries, and house prices. Still, they spent a lot of their money on eating out in fancy, trendy places, buying expensive clothes, and keeping that lifestyle even if there were less costly options, no wonder they couldn't save money.
我在韩国生活过几个月，是的，韩国很多东西都很贵，但是很多韩国人非常痴迷奢侈品。韩国人经常抱怨通货膨胀，工资和房价。尽管如此，他们依然会花很多钱去高档时尚的地方吃饭，买昂贵的衣服，即便有更加便宜的选择，他们还是会继续保持这种生活方式，难怪他们省不下钱
Since they're aware that they cannot afford a house. They'd rather spend savings on luxury items they. I don't think this behavior is hard to understand.
因为他们知道自己永远买不起房子，所以他们宁愿将积蓄花在奢侈品上面。我认为这种行为并不难理解。
Those who spend on luxuries can't really complain
那些把钱花在奢侈品上的人真的没什么好抱怨的
manonn2006 this doesn’t happen only in Korea. It also happens in Europe, not to mention the USA, where many people live paycheck to paycheck and max out their credit cards.
这种情况不仅仅发生在韩国，欧洲同样也有，更不用说美国了，在美国很多人都是月光族，很多人的信用卡都被刷爆了

@moshiacid6673 Yup. This is what young chinese in china are doing right now too. It isn't even uncommon.
是的，现在的中国年轻人也这样，这并不罕见

Put ourselves in their shoes. These young adults (Gen Z especially) know for sure they will never ever be able to buy a house although they save money for whole life. The property price is just too high & unreachable. Because of this reality, they believe it is useless to save money to buy a house. They spend their money for experiences such as travelling, fancy dinings, etc etc. This happens in South Korea, Japan & China.
我们应该设身处地为这些年轻人想想。这些年轻人清楚的知道即便存一辈子的钱也一样买不起房子。房子的价格实在是太高了，遥不可及。因此他们认为存钱买房是没有意义的。于是他们把钱花在了体验人生上，比如旅游，吃豪华大餐等。这种情况不仅出现在韩国，中国和日本同样也有
This is true for many people who live in some countries in Europe.My friends go on atleast three holidays, buy unnecessary things , have hundreds pairs of shoes, forever buying clothing to throw out the next season , clubbing on weekends and eat out or oder food. I managed with my loan to build a house but I also haved not gone on holidays for ten years.
欧洲一些国家的人也是这样的。我的朋友每年至少会去度三次假，他们会买很多不必要的东西，他们家里有数百双鞋子，他们总是买那些过季就扔的衣服，他们周末会去夜店，要么就出去吃要么就点外卖。而我通过贷款建了一栋房子，但是我已经十年没有度过假了。
i don't understand something. They all complan about high rents, but nobody is willing to take a bank loan for 30 years like we in Europe do, buy a flat with it. This means no luxury spending but at least you have your own house and don't need to pay rent to others.
我有点不明白。他们都在抱怨房租高，但是他们却不愿意像我们欧洲人一样贷款30年买一套公寓。虽然买了房之后就买不了奢侈品，但是至少你有了自己的房子，不需要再给别人付房租了。
@NuclearChild_ Life in Europe is so boring for young people compared to life in Asia. There are so many entertaintment in Asia for young people, life is more exciting. Also....young people in Asia are more fashionable than young people in Europe. They spend a lot of money to be fashionable. You can come to South Korea, Japan or China, and you will see what I mean.
和亚洲的生活相比，年轻人会觉得欧洲的生活非常无聊。对于年轻人来说，亚洲有很多的娱乐，那里的生活更加刺激。而且亚洲年轻人比欧洲年轻人更加时尚。他们会花很多钱去追逐时尚。只要到中国日本和韩国来看看，你就明白我的意思了
@brianmansan nobody can buy house or flat only by saving, that's mission impossible. That's why we take bank loans. It means a lot of sacrifice for 20, 30 years, but if you start earlier you will own your home earlier. 20 years pass very fast. People usually pay off loan with only two incomes (much smaller than average incomes in rich Korea) , without living with parents and splitting costs like Koreans do. I think that Koreans are basically parasiting on parents, living hedonistic irresponsible life.
没有人可以仅靠储蓄买下一套房子或者公寓，这是不可能的事情。这就是为什么我们要向银行贷款的原因。这意味着我们要在未来二三十年时间里做出巨大的牺牲，但是如果你更早开始，那么你就能更早拥有自己的房子。20年很快就会过去。人们往往只能依靠两份收入来偿还贷款，而且无法像韩国人那样和父母同住，分摊生活成本。我认为韩国人基本上就是寄生在父母身上的寄生虫，他们过着享乐主义且不负责任的生活。
@NuclearChild_ Every person has his/her own thinking & belief. This is not about right or wrong. Many foreigners often misunderstand Korea & its people. Many think Koreans are addicted to plastic surgery because they want to look beautiful & handsome, that is just one side of story. By having good appeaeance, it also boosts their chance to get employment. Unlike in Europe....competition in Asia, especially in East Asia, is extremely extremely tight. So if you don't stand out among the crowd....there is a small chance for you to get sexted. This is more like they NEED to have plastic surgery rather than they WANT to have one. And plastic surgery surely cost a lot of money. So they live in dilemma.
每个人都有自己的想法和信仰。这和对错没有关系。很多外国人经常会误解韩国和韩国人。很多人觉得韩国人痴迷于整形手术是因为他们想要看起来更加美丽更加英俊，但这只是故事的其中一面而已。良好的外形可以帮助他们增加就业的机会。和欧洲不同，亚洲尤其是东亚的竞争极其激烈。所以如果你不能从人群中脱颖而出，那么你被选中的机会就会非常小。更加确切的说法是他们需要做整形手术，而不是他们自己真的想要做这样的手术。而且整形手术肯定会花很多钱。所以他们真的是进退两难。
@NuclearChild_ I'm a westerner living in Korea and recently bought an apartment. I don't think Koreans can simply get a 20-30 year loan. When I bought my place 2 years ago, the government required you to have 60% of the total apartment price, meaning the bank would only loan a max of 40% as mortgage.
我是一个生活在韩国的西方人，最近我买了一套公寓。我不认为韩国人可以简单的获得二三十年的贷款。我在两年前买房子的时候，政府要求我提供60%的首付，这意味着银行最多只能提供40%的贷款。
Luxury and overspending are usually done by young Korean women. They tend to rely on Korean men instead of saving money
买奢侈品和过度消费的往往是韩国的女性。他们倾向于依赖于韩国男性而不是自己存钱。
@biber9979 Housing prices are much cheaper in Seoul than in New York. Only some parts of Seoul are expensive. Housing prices are very high in every big city in the world. Already, houses in big cities in developed countries around the world have exceeded the level that ordinary people can save money to buy
首尔的房价要比纽约便宜很多。首尔只是部分地区房价很贵而已。在世界上所有大城市的房价都很高。在发达国家的大城市里，房子已经不是普通人存钱就能够买得起的东西了

@NuclearChild_ the problem is even if you loan it's still not enough. The maximum I can loan is 4B won. The average price of the house is 10B won.
问题是即便你向银行贷款也依然买不起房子。我最多只能贷款40亿韩元，而房子的平均价格是100亿韩元。
And don't forget their obsession with expensive cosmetic surgery.
不要忘了他们还非常痴迷于昂贵的整形手术。

as someone who's from the Netherlands and who lives in Korea, apartment prices are crazy. For a place of 84m2, which is still considered small in my country (although you get 2 bathrooms here haha), where I live it starts at 1 million USD
作为一个生活在韩国的荷兰人，我认为韩国的公寓价格实在是高的离谱。在我们国家84平米的房子算是很小了（尽管如此韩国84平米的房子里面还装了2各洗手间），但是在韩国我住的这个地方起步价就要100万美元。

Near Seoul is much cheaper. The place they said is the center of Seoul
首尔附近的房子会便宜很多。他们说的是首尔市中心，那里的房子肯定更贵。

@user-fz6hz3uc9x I live in Gwacheon, Gyeonggi-do and it's similar prices but that's because it's 10 min from Seoul.If you move further away then it gets cheaper yes.
我住在京畿道的果川市，这里的物价和首尔差不多，但这是因为这里距离首尔只有十分钟的路程。如果你搬到更远的地方的话，那么物价会更加便宜。
It is this bad also in the Netherlands though. All major cities have a housing crisis. And 84m2 is not considered small anymore in the cities. Of course, in the smaller towns, you can buy a bigger house for the same price.
但是荷兰的房价也很高。只要是大城市都有住房危机。在城市里面，一套84平米的房子已经不能算小了。当然在小城镇，你可以用同样多的钱买到更大的房子。
If you look outside of Seoul, the housing prices are dirt cheap compared to Seoul. You can get much newer bigger places for $200K to $300K that you can't get in Seoul. The problem is that everyone wants to live in Seoul, so those cities are slowly dying. Pretty soon, Korea will only have Seoul as a big city, the rest of the country will be in a state of shock after the demographic bomb explosion. Even in Seoul, the home prices have halved compared to a couple of years ago. In 5 years, the home prices will have crashed totally, and pretty much you won't find any people complaining about the home prices anymore. The problem is the economy will be so bad that they still wouldn't be able to afford Seoul house prices. But rents in Seoul are not high. Right now you can rent clean, big, apartments for $700 a month in Seould.
如果你去看看首尔以外的那些地方，那么你就会发现和首尔相比，那里的房价真的非常便宜。你可以用20到30万美元买到一套更新更大的房子，而这在首尔是做不到的。问题是所有人都希望住在首尔，因此那些城市正在慢慢死亡。不久之后，韩国将只有首尔一个大城市，其他地方将在人口炸弹爆炸后陷入休克状态。即便是在首尔，房价也比几年前下降了一半。五年后，房价将会彻底崩盘，到时候你就不会再看到有什么人抱怨房价了。但问题是到时候经济将会非常糟糕，人们将依然承担不起首尔的房价。但是首尔的房租却并不高。现在每月700美元就能在首尔租到一个又干净又大的公寓。
