This is really the best arrangement for HKers. There are very few places were you can retire and basically retain your culture, language, food, custom and yet stretch your money so much farther. This is also good for the new place as new money and consumption is coming to the region. This will also help further develop the region. For us, Americans, would be like having Mexico o Costa Rica in our suburbs....and just be one car ride away from "home base".

[@debl5848]

HK is very expensive. Mainland is not very far off esp. now with the excellent railway and road links. Famies can still visit each other easily.

[@yellowsheeps]

That's not true because China is "Socialist" which means home ownership is a right for ALL and not only the people who have money. This is why the CPC is intentionally popping the real estate bubble. Note, this is not easy for the China to implement because there are many Chinese who are brainwashed with Western "Finance Capitalism" who don't think about how to maintain a healthy "Civilization" and just care about getting rich NOW. Just look at the homeless situation in the West (i.e. USA/Canada). It's out of control. Rosa Luxemburg said it best, "it's either Socialism or Barbarism".

China is a great place to retire.

[@jjlim]

Most Singaporeans don’t understand how fast and efficient it is to get to Shenzhen/Guangdong from HK. One can cross the border by Private Car/Subway/High-Speed Rail/Traditional Rail/Ferry/Bus with a total of 13 border-crossing checkpoints. There are virtually ZERO TRAFFIC JAMS (except for the Shenzhen Bay crossing) and scanning the ID card (home return permit) takes less than 5 seconds to process. No passport required (for HKSAR PRs). In short, it makes the crossing from SG to JB sound so convoluted and complicated (which it is). If there are no traffic jams at the causeway, what do you think would happen to retail and real estate in SG? Well, that scenario is already playing out in HK. The only real deterrent from Singaporeans living and spending in JB is the traffic jams and the perceived lack of safety. SZ from HK does not suffer from either of those issues.

[@private6708]

well said

[@keith6371]

This story happened in Fushan, not SZ. SZ is still very expensive. I have an apartment close to the boarder crossing, in the financial district, it costs 2 million USD for 160sq meter. Yes, it is still cheaper than HK, but way more expensive even comparing to LA

[@ivanshi839]

@@keith6371 Look further in Longhua District, Shenzhen. There are more affordable apartments within short distances to Shenzhen North Station. I own a mortgage-free apartment of 220 sqm in Bao'an District. The idea of trading my current comfort for living in crowded, congested Hong Kong is suffocating to me as my Asia's World City-based sister suggests I migrate across the border.

[@Amidat]

The checkpoints will go away in another 20 odd years. By the time a 40 year old retires they wouldn't even have to think of it.

[@MeJackson-zt1qo]

That's because we are from the same country. It's just that Hong Kong's political system is different from mainland China. There is basically no difference in other aspects.

[@robocop581]

If you own a residence in HK which 69% do then retirement is very affordable. To those that are still renting at the age of 60 and about to retire then it's better to move elsewhere.

[@pastasoo]

the last census data on home ownership in HK in 2021 has home ownership at 51.5%, how did you come to 69%?

[@robocop581]

​​​​@@pastasoo15.7% own public housing. 52% are private homeowners. I used to rent a public housing flat when I arrived in HK. I was paying the owner of that Public Housing flat $6,000 a month. The waiting time for a Public Housing Flat is a little over five years

[@pastasoo]

@@robocop581 Reread that information again because you don't seem to understand at all. It says around 52% LIVE in private housing, it doesn't mean they OWN the private housing, a large percentage of them are renting in private housing. That's why the last statistic rounds out the home ownership rate combined in private and public housing to be 51.5%

[@brandonchan8255]

HKers could easily rent out their own private flat and use the rental income to live in the Greater Bay area of China in luxury! Of course, after another 5 or 10 years, the living cost gap may or may not be as great, as equilibrium may be reached.

[@yellowsheeps]

@@brandonchan8255 You could do that BUT is that sustainable when we consider "civilization". That is, living, having a family, children, grand children etc etc...? In HK and other parts of the World where "Finance Capitalism" is supreme, when home ownership continues to go up and the creation of jobs with decent wages continue to get reduced, the end result is extinction. If extinction is the goal then perhaps your way of thinking works.

Heavy taxes and poor transportation, deteriorating medical services (not enough family doctors!) and inconvenience in many aspects in life, thus making Asian countries far better choices for retirement. Also, it is even tougher than HK to earn and save money in Canada, unless people earned enough money and no need to worry about money there.

Not going to England is the smartest choice.😂

[@hailyrizzo5428]

wow, great video. you just gave singaporeans the idea to retire in malaysia. heck, they may even decide to live there and work in SG like people from JB.

For the last part, when Mandy said that spending without using a calculator makes her happier, rather than looking what is left then only spend is spelling out disaster.

[@robocop581]

I definitely don't spend HK$500 a day. If she included rent, utilities and transport that figure is accurate but for daily expenses like food and entertainment then she's out of control financially.

[@DanielHYNg]

@@robocop581 Like it or not, she just have to sit down and do the math.

[@woojongson5431]

I do mental math.

[@pastasoo]

It just means she doesn't want to have to calculate every single little thing. I'm sure she's still counting the big expenses.

[@lowengkok1201]

Yes,she still counting but not extreme no headach but less worry and in control.that is what i think of her.at least she is in a mission.i think that is what life is about.❤😊

[@raichisan161]

SG isn't cheaper heard before some Singaporeans would choose to retire in Malaysia or Thailand (not BKK) 😅 I am still young kinda don't wish I'll live till even 60 pathetic to be low income and old in SG

[@lexluong8155]

China for hong kongers is like mexico for US retirees. But even closer. Cheaper everything but can go visit birthplace in 1 hour. 😂🎉🎉

[@luk2k3]
