Has your quality of life improved after buying a car?

It has improved compared to everyone else. Before I bought a car, I rode a motorcycle to and from get off work every day. For a young person, I felt very shameless. Don’t laugh, this is a very common face problem among Chinese people. Nowadays, I feel embarrassed to go out wherever I go. Every time I go out to a dinner party and see other people driving there, I feel envious. In severe cases, I even have an inferiority complex. Later, I saved enough for the down payment and took out a mortgage for a car, a loan of several thousand yuan a month. Since I was not married yet and had no mortgage, my salary was quite sufficient to repay this amount, so I did not feel too much pressure. . After buying a car, my whole mood has changed. I like to go out and socialize. It is more convenient to commute to and from get off work. I no longer have to deal with the wind and rain. I feel that my overall quality of life has improved and my happiness is overwhelming, so I feel that my own happiness is the most important, and everything else can come second.

Actually, I think this matter needs to be looked at in a targeted manner. Many people buy cars mainly to solve their actual travel needs and give themselves and their families a better quality of life. Of course, some people will rashly purchase vehicles through loans out of vanity satisfaction, and their income cannot be reasonably managed. As a result, after repaying the loan every month, the money left in their hands is tight. If you don’t have money, you don’t need to mention the quality of life. Today we came out to talk about whether my quality of life has improved after I bought a car.

The first car I bought in my life was a second-hand Alto. At that time, my income was not high, so I spent two to three thousand to buy the car. Including the cost of refitting, the total cost was several thousand. Of course, this kind of price is definitely nothing compared to models worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, but for me who just started working, after paying the money, my life is still tight. It was not until the second month's salary was paid that life became relatively better.

However, after buying a car, the improvement in the quality of life is very obvious. Before buying a car, I had to go to the bus station 40 to 50 minutes in advance to wait for the bus every day when I went to work. I have to spend almost the same amount of time on the road after get off work every day. Occasionally, my colleagues can take a ride on the way. If I work overtime, I have to take a taxi back to the dormitory. The key is that I may not be able to get a taxi. After all, most 4S stores are located in The locations are relatively remote. After buying a car, you can leave whenever you want, and wherever you want, you can do whatever you want.

Although the car is a little broken, at least it can protect it from wind and rain, so that you can leave at any time if you want. There is no need to worry anymore about having to shamelessly take advantage of colleagues, or about working overtime until midnight and there are no taxis available. Moreover, the little Alto is rough and thick, so you don’t need to pay extra for repairs. Compared with the same Alto, the fuel consumption is a bit more expensive, but compared with other cars, the fuel consumption is still very cheap, 4 cents per kilometer. A little more is totally within my tolerance.

From these aspects, after buying a car, it has played a very positive role in my personal work and life. Although I subsequently changed to a Volkswagen Lavida, and later to a WEYvv5, they were still within the scope of my personal improvement in quality of life, and there was not much pressure on me. On the contrary, after changing cars twice, it gave me a better driving and riding experience. At least when I was working, I felt happier.

Compared with my experience, many people are relatively irrational when buying a car, and often pursue one-step consumption results. For example, when your budget is only 100,000, you want to buy a 200,000 or even 300,000 car model through a mortgage. But I never thought that the monthly mortgage payment that I need to bear may be several thousand dollars. Coupled with the cost of maintaining a car, it may cause great trouble to my daily work and life.

All in all, a car is just a means of transportation for daily travel. If you really want to buy a car, you should choose a model that meets your actual ability level based on your actual needs. Don't be tempted to buy a car for a short time, which will cause you to suffer for several years after buying it. Rather than spending a lot of money to enjoy the pleasure brought by a vehicle, it is better to choose a vehicle within your actual capabilities as long as it can meet your daily needs.

It still depends on the demand. Obviously electric cars, motorcycles, buses and subways are very convenient, and shortcuts are still convenient. If you don’t really need it, you buy it for the sake of face or to see others buy it, then it is basically just a decoration. , you can’t get away with even 10,000 yuan a year, the insurance is still paid, and the car is damaged every year, it is better to sell the car early, take a taxi or rent a car when you go out. Domestic cars and 10W family cars sell best because many of these people buy them and keep them at home.

Anyway, I travel 60 kilometers back and forth every day. Taking the subway costs about 1.20 one-way, and I have to get up early. In winter, I basically leave at dawn and don’t get home until after dark. Driving for 40 minutes is enough. A round-trip subway trip costs 12.6 yuan. To get to the subway station, you need to add 4 yuan to the bus for some distance. The one-day travel fee is 16.6 yuan. If you drive, it costs less than 30 yuan. A ride-hailing trip is enough to save gas for a day.

Thanks for the invitation!

Before I bought a car, I always thought about what I would do if I had a car. I always envied other people who drove cars for all kinds of good things, and I was envious of them. I would like to remind you that if you don’t have enough budget, it is still recommended not to do it. I don’t put too much pressure on myself. I will tell you about the troubles caused by buying a car based on my personal experience.

I traded in the Mazda Angkesela in October 2017. At that time, there was two years of interest-free payment and a monthly payment of 2,500. Now the payment is almost over. During this period, after buying a car, I felt happy and troubled at the same time. Let’s start by talking about my troubles.

1: The cost of using a car has increased, and the quality of life has decreased.

Before I bought a car, I could go to KTV with my friends every month to sing, go out to restaurants, etc. Now that I have bought a car, I am basically isolated from all these. When I think of the car needing gas, The insurance is about to expire and needs to be renewed, or when is it time for maintenance, etc. When I think of these things that are related to money, I always feel my heart bleed.

2: Parking is difficult. I live in Guangzhou. In addition to the restriction of four-stop parking, parking has also become a problem. There are not many parking spaces in the community, and if there are some restrictions, you have to I ran to a place far away from home to park the car. Another thing is that when traveling, I always thought of going on a self-driving trip if I had a car, but now I just go wherever there is a parking space.

3: Traffic jams are a serious problem. In first-tier cities, traffic jams are the last resort. No matter where you go, there are usually traffic jams during peak hours, and even more jams during holidays. A few times when I was stuck on the highway when I was going home, I was ready to get down and buy fried noodles.

4: Traffic violations, I believe most car owners will have encountered them. After driving, they often check on the mobile APP to see if there were any illegal stops, license plates, running red lights, speeding, etc. while driving today. If It's fine if there are no points deducted for violating the rules, but if points are deducted, I feel uncomfortable. After all, there are only 12 points in one cycle. Here I would like to remind everyone: There are tens of millions of roads, and safety is the first priority. You must drive in a standardized manner and abide by traffic rules.

Although there are these worries after buying a car, there are actually many benefits after buying a car. For example, there is no need to quarrel over not being able to borrow it, and it is more convenient to go to work and pick up the children from school. Sometimes It’s quite fun to go on a long trip and have fun and have fun as a family.

I don’t know what everyone here feels after buying a car. Let’s discuss it together.

As a post-80s generation, I have just entered society. It is my dream to own my own car; of course it is also the dream of many people. But in the real society, there are some people who love vanity and show off; then, buying a car has become popular. In our rural hometown, as far as rural people are concerned: as long as they can afford a car, they are rich and have face. There is a popular saying on the Internet: I would rather cry in a BMW than laugh on a bicycle. In this regard, I admit that after you have a car, no matter what your character is or what you look like, you will not worry about a woman falling into your arms.

1. Since buying a car has become much more convenient, it has become more convenient for you and your family to travel wherever you want. It sounds really desirable, but in reality, as the pace of life accelerates, the economy and the pressure of life is increasing. In order to reduce the pressure in life, we have to work constantly and be busy; busy with work when we go to work, and busy with daily life chores when we get off work; even if we catch up with the holidays, we would rather rest at home than go out to toss.

2. Then why buy a car? Some people say that it is to show off, but if you are really rich, others will know that you are rich without showing off; if you are really poor, no matter how much you show off, others will know that you are not. Money; and at the same time, this will make others think you are hypocritical. Saying nothing can actually keep you away. What's the use! If you satisfy your temporary vanity, in fact, others will look down on you even more. Since I bought a car, my family has had another expense: vehicle maintenance, vehicle insurance, gas fees, parking fees, fines for traffic violations, etc... In fact, it is a hard life.

I would like to share a car purchase story from a friend of mine: He bought a car in August 2018, a Changan Mazda cx-5, and he was still very excited at the time. After all, I have my own car. Many friends also cast envious glances. It’s great to have a car. My clothes are clean when I go to and from get off work, my hair is no longer as tangled as weeds, and my leather shoes are less polished. I often go out to play with my wife and children on Sundays, and my life is very comfortable. After confirming the theory that having a car is a great thing, he suddenly found that his wallet was getting thinner and thinner.

1. He said that since buying a car, things have suddenly become more complicated. Relatives and friends ask him to use the car more often, and he often pays for gas himself. I used to take the bus to and from work, but now I basically use my legs to drive, which has become a habit. Save money, the monthly gas bill is as little as six or seven hundred.

2. Routine maintenance costs a lot of money. Routine maintenance is essential, costing more than 500 each time. My wife and I usually drive, and there are always scratches on the paint and bumps in the car. If you don't practice it, it will look ugly. If you do it, it will cost three to four hundred each time. What a toothache!

3. Then there is the parking problem. After buying a car, you can't keep it in the sun, but where can you park it in the community? I gritted my teeth and spent more than 160,000 yuan to buy a garage, and finally found a home for the car. Furthermore, it is against the rules.

If you walk on a non-motorized lane, you will be fined; if you run over the line, you will be fined; if you exceed the speed limit, you will be fined; if you don't bring a parking tripod, you will also be fined... Only after I got a car did I truly understand what it feels like to be a "mouse meets a cat".

4. There is also 4,000 yuan for car insurance, and one month’s salary is just gone. Now that I have a car, I don’t dare to buy clothes, and I start to think about three meals a day. Really, if you don’t raise a child, you don’t know your parents’ kindness; if you don’t raise a car, you don’t know how poor your family is.

For me, the quality of life has improved after buying a car. In the past, I always felt that thirty kilometers was far away, and it would take an hour or two to take the subway or bus. After buying a car, my range of activities has expanded, and the world seems to have become smaller. But the premise is that you can’t buy a car beyond your actual payment range.

Before I bought a car, I had always considered a house near a bus station or a subway station. After buying a car, my scope of consideration became wider. It doesn’t matter if the bus or subway station is a little further away. We know that houses closer to subway stations are generally more expensive and have a noisier environment, while houses in a slightly more remote environment have a lower unit price. You can buy a larger one with a better environment for the same total price. For me, I prefer a house with a good environment, so I feel that my quality of life has improved after buying a car.

After buying a car, whenever it rains and I drive downstairs, I always like to sit in the car and listen to the sound of rain and look at the neon lights of the city reflected in the rearview mirror. Smoking a cigarette and relaxing yourself quietly, or lying down listening to music and playing with your phone. At this time, the car is like a secret garden of your own, where you can isolate yourself from the outside world and enjoy your short time.

Whenever you finish working overtime late at night, breathing in the cool outdoor air, like a prisoner just released from prison, you come to the parking lot. All your colleagues’ cars have gone, leaving only your car parked alone. There, like an old friend for many years.

It can be said that walking is always more dangerous than driving. If you are not afraid of hitting others, you are just afraid of others hitting you. With the protection of a car, you will really have a greater sense of security than an unarmed pedestrian. Of course, driving unruly and speeding is another matter.

Of course, if you want to say that it will cause a decrease in the quality of life, it is indeed the case for some people, but for me, the quality of life will be improved. The premise is that you can’t buy a car that exceeds your own financial resources. Budget.

Sincerely invite you to answer, the quality of life is definitely different before buying a car and after buying a car. Whether happiness is improved ultimately depends on one's financial ability and actual needs. Different groups and different classes have completely different feelings about the happiness of cars.

Considering that we are all ordinary people, let’s take myself as an example - an ordinary white-collar worker who was born in an ordinary rural family and came to work in the city after graduating from college (has been working for 5 years, with a salary of one thousand yuan, and a burden of Home loan and car loan, no children for the time being), analyze the real psychological feelings before and after buying a car.

Before buying a car:

Comfortable ①. The salary is relatively rich: excluding the mortgage, daily expenses, leisure and entertainment, rent, water and electricity (the house they bought has not yet been handed over), the two of them still have to pay If you can have 6,000 left, you can still save a small amount in a year;

②. Lots of leisure and entertainment (don’t laugh at the elites): two or three big meals a month (to put it bluntly, eating out, not cooking at home) rice), I went to the supermarket three times to buy fruit snacks, occasionally watched movies, sang karaoke with friends, and had barbecues.

What’s terrible is ③. You don’t have the freedom to travel. When you go out to do errands, you have to squeeze into buses and subways;

④. You can’t just go on a trip;

⑤. Every time I go back to my hometown, it is a psychological stimulation for me, a car-free person. When I see that all my friends and colleagues around me have cars, and I am still taking the No. 2 bus, I can’t help but feel uneasy. This wave will turn into turbulent waves every time I return to my hometown. When you take the bus to the bus center station in the city, you take a bus with a seat covered with a light yellow advertising cushion for treating dead sperm and oligozoospermia. It swings around a few times until it is full of passengers, and then you drive 90 I rushed back to the county town at a fast pace, and then went to the county town for the minibus that sent to various towns. After waiting for two quarters of an hour, I finally returned to the small town I had not seen for a long time. As soon as I got off the bus, I happened to (perhaps unluckily) bump into the elementary school going back to my hometown. Classmate, he slowly rolled down the window and greeted you with a smile, "Hey, buddy, don't tell me when you're coming back. Come on, let's go, I'll take you back." But you are secretly cursing in your heart: What do you have to be proud of? You are a bastard who has not even graduated from elementary school. You have been out for so many years, and now you can only buy an Audi car. I can't afford it. Car, I am investing the money I have saved in a more useful place! But he said: Well, your Audi A6 is a new model, it has very high safety configuration. My friend xxx also has this model.

Comfort level: ★★★

Grief level: In the city ★★★

Back home ★★★★★★★★★★

After buying the car:

Feeling comfortable ①. I no longer feel inferior when I return to my hometown, and I dare to roll down the car window and play car-carrying music before entering the village (but I still try to avoid meeting my Audi classmates);

②You can also take a quick trip;

③Enjoy the fun of speed and driving.

What’s terrible is that ① monthly expenses keep rising, and the car loan and gas bill fees eat up half of the monthly savings;

② I’m either stuck in traffic or looking for money. On the road to the parking space;

③ Worry about driving and worry about parking. You can only feel relieved when you are asleep.

Comfort level: in the city ★★★

Back home ★★★★★★★★★★

Worrying level: ★★★★★< /p>

To sum up: an ordinary white-collar worker, an ordinary citizen, if he buys a car to improve his self-confidence, satisfy his own little vanity, and at the same time make it convenient to travel, then he will buy it without hesitation. Bar. Because this is really an excellent choice to improve your happiness and quality of life. At least the happiness of ordinary people can be obtained with money. If you ask Wang Sicong this question, you are really humiliating yourself.

Without comparison, there is no harm, without comparison, there is no effect, and without comparison, there is no impression: 1. If you don’t have a car, you have to take a taxi to work on rainy days, it’s not easy to get one, and it’s hard to wait for the bus; if you have a car, you don’t need it. Don’t worry, set out with peace of mind. 2. If you don’t have a car, you’ll be scolded by women; if you have a car, you can take her to work attentively, all the way to the door of the guard room. 3. If you don’t have a car, you can drink beer and liquor as much as you want; if you have a car, you won’t have to drink and call for a driver. 4 If you don’t have a car, you’ll go from house to house and squeeze into the bus; if you have a car, you’ll walk around casually. 5 If you don’t have a car, moving things is called Dian Ma; if you have a car, you can move things by yourself through sweat. 6. If you don’t have a car, even if you take a car, the expenses won’t be big; if you have a car, the annual insurance and gas fees will be equivalent to raising Xiaomi. 7 If you don’t have a car, you can walk and ride if you can; if you have a car, you must drive whenever you go out. 8. If you don’t have a car, you can exercise by walking and cycling; if you have a car, your neck will be stiff and your shoulders will hurt. 9. If you don’t have a car, no one will care about you; if you have a car, your relatives and friends will borrow it frequently. 10 If you don’t have a car, traveling is safe, environmentally friendly and energy-saving; if you have a car, traveling will cost you money and pollution. Whoever uses the car will know! Quality of life...the mute knows what he is eating glutinous rice balls with! I wish all car owners to avoid drunk driving and travel safely!

With the development of society and the improvement of living standards, buying a car seems to have become an essential thing for every family. The purposes of buying a car are also different. Some people do it for work, and some do it for work. People do it for life, some do it for family, and even worse, they just follow the trend. No matter what your purpose is for buying a car, your quality of life will change after you own a car. Basically all my colleagues have bought a car. Let’s listen to what a friend said about his quality of life after buying a car. .

After buying a car, my quality of life has been greatly improved. I can go on outings with my wife and daughter on weekends. This winter, my wife and daughter have had a warm winter. This is all thanks to my Roewe Dabai. .

In fact, the car purchase plan was originally scheduled for this year, but due to the special circumstances last year, I had to advance the car purchase plan. This can also be regarded as a New Year gift to my family. The main reason I bought the car was because it was too inconvenient to pick my children up and back from school. My wife used to take her children to school, but last year my wife changed jobs and it became a big problem to take her children there. It was very troublesome to have to back up the car every time I took my daughter to school. , so in order to make it easier for my wife, I decided to buy a car last year, so that it would be more convenient for me to send my children to school every day.

When I was buying a car, I mainly had to choose between Civic and Dabai. I struggled for a while, but after comprehensive consideration, I found that Civic did not have any other advantages besides its brand advantage. advantage, so I chose Dabai in the end.

Friends who bought a car, what changes have taken place in your life? Please leave a message to share...

My quality of life has not improved much after buying a car. The reason why I bought a car was not to prove that I own a car. I just bought a domestic brand car for about 100,000 yuan. Mainly because a friend introduced me to a relatively strong discount at that time, and I felt that the price/performance ratio was pretty good, so I bought it.

Why do you say that your quality of life has not improved much after buying a car? Although I bought my own car, I basically choose bus transportation when commuting to and from get off work. I still get stuck in traffic when I drive, but there are city bus lanes when taking a bus and there are no traffic jams, and there is no traffic jam when taking rail transit. Driving to and from get off work by yourself seriously affects your mood, and every day you leave home 20 minutes earlier and get home half an hour later than if you choose public transport. For commuting to and from get off work, buying a car also reduces my quality of life. There are many traffic jams and high fuel consumption. The annual fuel cost is a lot, plus the extra parking fees, insurance premiums and other expenses of buying a car. It costs almost more than 20,000 yuan per year. It is still a financial burden for an ordinary family like mine. In this regard, buying a car has not improved my quality of life, and I even have the idea of ??selling the car.

The main purpose of buying my own car is to make it more convenient to go back to my hometown during the New Year and holidays. But with my own car, I no longer have to wait in long lines for long-distance buses. Also, you can go back to your hometown to bring more local products during the Chinese New Year, and you no longer have to travel far by car. In this regard, the quality of life has improved.

However, considering the frequency of using a car and whether buying a car brings convenience to oneself, the quality of life after buying a car has not improved much. Nowadays, many friends buy cars and only use them when going out occasionally, and usually choose public transportation.

Everyone feels more that as cars become more popular, they should own one instead of buying a car to improve their quality of life!
