My dear myloters! In this economic recession maybe you don't meet my situation but I wanner hear your advice. I graduated from a famous university in my country with a master degree. But now because of the high house price I cannot suffer the pressure in the city which I have studied for 6 years! Most of my friend are still stay here using all of them salary to buy the house. My friends try their best to save money to buy a house, so they cannot play with us, cannot buy new clothes, cannot have a baby, cannot not fall ill even get a cold. The worst thing is they have to use their parents' money to get their new houses, so the same bad thing happen to their parents. The parents should keep peeny pinching and healthy! In my country every is working for a house now instead of the future! However, if I go out of the city I will lost all of my friends. And I have to adapt to the new enviornment and find a new job. It's reall hard for me to choice! Maybe it's not only my voice but millons of the youngs in my country.I have said to my friends that our country is so crazy to depend on the real estate market to stimulate the economic. And the people is mad too. They will use all of their money to buy a house or houses when they have money. They don't want to invest the high-technical industry. What a pity to my country and my people!!!!!

Yeah, i think you should get out of there. You should rather adopt a new and friendly environment rather than staying there in whatever country that is. I honestly pity you and you just want to live a life and it sounds pretty hard to live there so you should go to another country and live a better life.

I cannot go abroad just because of the high house price. But maybe I could chocie to live in another city. And I think maybe there are different problems in other countries. So think over then stay here!
