From dating to entering the matrimonial hall, it is a happy process for both men and women. If a man calculates how much money he has spent on marrying her just before their wedding, I wonder if this bride would still walk down that romantic red carpet with him? However, recently, someone online has listed a detailed account of the costs of marrying a wife in different places:
Cost of marrying a Nanjing wife
Following the online statistical method, let's estimate how much it would cost to marry a wife in Nanjing with upper-middle conditions (college degree or above, good figure and appearance, stable job).
1. One apartment (over 80 square meters, downtown), average price at 6,000 yuan, 6,000 x 80 = 4.8 million yuan.
2. Decoration, medium level, 80 square meters, estimated at 500,000 yuan.
3. Appliances and furniture, estimated at 300,000 yuan (partly funded by the bride as dowry).
4. Car, standard for a regular commuting car, estimated at 1 million yuan. Some reasonable Nanjing girls agree to use electric scooters as an alternative, estimated at 1,500 yuan.
5. Banquet, taking a mid-range hotel with 25 tables as an example, including self-brought alcohol, cigarettes, and candies, estimated at 1,200 x 25 = 300,000 yuan. Red envelopes received are averaged at 1,200 per table, 1,200 x 25 = 300,000 yuan, income and expenditure balance.
6. Honeymoon, mainly traveling to Hong Kong, Macao, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Yunnan, Hainan, average cost per person at 8,000 yuan, estimated at 8,000 x 2 = 160,000 yuan.
7. From dating to deciding to get married, including going out to eat, buying gifts, entertainment, travel, giving festival gifts to the girlfriend's parents, etc., averaging 1,000 yuan per month, over 2 years, estimated at 1,000 x 12 x 2 = 240,000 yuan.
In summary, total costs amount to 4.8 + 0.5 + 0.3 + 1 + 0.16 + 0.24 = 7 million yuan.
With a family property of 2 million yuan and an annual income of 500,000 yuan for the man, (7 - 2) / 0.5 = 10 years. The final conclusion is: the man spends all his family's fortune + works without eating or drinking for 10 years = the cost of marrying a Nanjing wife with upper-middle conditions.
Cost of marrying a Beijing wife
1. One apartment (over 80 square meters, not downtown, directly outside the third ring and inside the fourth ring), average price at 8,000 yuan, 8,000 x 80 = 6.4 million yuan.
2. Decoration, medium level, 80 square meters, estimated at 1.5 million yuan.
3. Appliances and furniture, estimated at 0.8 million yuan (partly funded by the bride as dowry).
4. Car, standard for a regular car (usually Hyundai Elantra, now priced at over 1.2 million yuan after discount). No reasonable Beijing girl agrees to use transportation other than a car.
5. Banquet, calculated at a four-star hotel with 200 people (20 tables), including self-brought alcohol, cigarettes, and candies, estimated at 200 x 200 = 0.4 million yuan. Red envelopes received are averaged at 2,000 per table, 2,000 x 20 = 0.4 million yuan, income and expenditure balance.
6. Honeymoon, firmly refuses to go to Hong Kong, Macao, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Yunnan, Hainan. Mainly travels to Australia, Europe, or the Maldives, with the Maldives as the standard, average cost per person at over 10,000 yuan, total cost at 0.3 million yuan.
7. From dating to deciding to get married (courtship period), including going out to eat, buying gifts, entertainment, travel, giving festival gifts to the girlfriend's parents, etc., averaging 2,000 yuan per month, over 2 years, estimated at 2,000 x 12 x 2 = 0.48 million yuan.
In summary, total costs amount to 6.4 + 1.5 + 0.8 + 1.2 + 0.3 + 0.48 = 10.68 million yuan. With a family property of 3 million yuan and an annual income of 0.6 million yuan for the man, (10.38 - 3) / 0.6 = 12 years.
The final conclusion is: the man spends all his family's fortune + works without eating or drinking for 12 years = the cost of marrying a Beijing wife with middle conditions!
Cost of marrying a Shanghai wife with middle conditions!
Currently, taking Shanghai as an example, it is very difficult to marry a wife without a certain material foundation. Marriage requires a house, and Shanghai girls generally do not want to live with their parents, so purchasing a separate wedding house is the first task every Shanghai man needs to complete, and buying a house is naturally the responsibility of the man. Below, I will roughly calculate the various costs of marrying a Shanghai wife with upper-middle conditions (college degree or above, good figure and appearance, stable job):
1. One apartment (over 100 square meters, downtown), average price at 10,000 yuan, 10,000 x 100 = 10 million yuan.
2. Decoration, medium level, 100 square meters, estimated at 1.5 million yuan.
3. Appliances and furniture, estimated at 1 million yuan (partly funded by the bride as dowry).
4. Car, standard for a regular commuting car, estimated at 1 million yuan. Some reasonable Hangzhou girls agree to use electric scooters as an alternative, estimated at 1,500 yuan.
5. Banquet, calculated at a mid-range hotel (Xile level) with 25 tables, including self-brought alcohol, cigarettes, and candies, estimated at 1,000 x 25 = 0.25 million yuan. Red envelopes received are averaged at 1,200 per table, 1,200 x 25 = 0.3 million yuan, profit at 0.05 million yuan.
6. Honeymoon, mainly traveling to Hong Kong, Macao, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Yunnan, Hainan, average cost per person at 6,000 yuan, estimated at 6,000 x 2 = 0.12 million yuan.
7. From dating to deciding to get married (courtship period), including going out to eat, buying gifts, entertainment, travel, giving festival gifts to the girlfriend's parents, etc., averaging 1,800 yuan per month, over 2 years, estimated at 1,800 x 12 x 2 = 0.432 million yuan.
In summary, total costs amount to 10 + 1.5 + 1 + 1 - 0.05 + 0.12 + 0.432 = 14.002 million yuan.
With a family property of 5 million yuan and an annual income of 0.6 million yuan for the man, (14.002 - 5) / 0.6 = 15 years. The final conclusion is: the man spends all his family's fortune + works without eating or drinking for 15 years = the cost of marrying a Shanghai wife with upper-middle conditions! The above is for reference only for gentlemen and applies to wives in other cities.
Cost estimation of marrying a wife in Shenzhen, do you still want to get married?
Taking Shenzhen as an example, it is very difficult to marry a wife without a certain material foundation. Marriage requires a house, and many Shenzhen girls come to make their way in the world alone, so purchasing a wedding house is the first task every Shenzhen man needs to complete, and buying a house is naturally the responsibility of the man. Below, I will roughly calculate the various costs of marrying a Shenzhen wife with upper-middle conditions (college degree or above, good figure and appearance, stable job):
1. One apartment (80 square meters, inside Guan), average price at 7,200 yuan, 7,200 x 80 = 5.8 million yuan. (This is the price of the City Center bought by a friend just at Bijiashan)
2. Decoration, medium level, 80 square meters, estimated at 1 million yuan.
3. Appliances and furniture, estimated at 0.5 million yuan (partly funded by the bride as dowry).
4. Car, standard for a regular commuting car, estimated at 1 million yuan.
5. Banquet, calculated at a mid-range hotel (Shanghai Hotel level, cheaper at Chaotai) with 20 tables, including self-brought alcohol, cigarettes, and candies, estimated at 2,000 x 20 = 0.4 million yuan. Red envelopes received are averaged at 2,000 per table, 3,000 x 20 = 0.6 million yuan, profit at 0.2 million yuan.
6. Honeymoon, mainly traveling to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand (cannot go due to tsunami), Yunnan, Hainan, choose South Korea instead, average cost per person at 6,000 yuan, estimated at 6,000 x 2 = 0.12 million yuan.
7. From dating to deciding to get married (courtship period), including going out to eat, buying gifts, entertainment, travel, giving festival gifts to the girlfriend's parents, etc., averaging 1,500 yuan per month, over 2 years, estimated at 1,500 x 12 x 2 = 0.36 million yuan.
In summary, total costs amount to 5.8 + 1 + 0.5 + 1 - 0.2 + 0.12 + 0.36 = 8.58 million yuan.
With an annual income of 0.6 million yuan for the man and no family money used, 8.58 million / 0.6 million = 14 years. The final conclusion is: the man spends all his family's fortune + works without eating or drinking for 14 years = the cost of marrying a Shenzhen wife with upper-middle conditions!
Cost of marrying a wife in Guangzhou
1. One apartment (over 80 square meters, downtown), average price at 8,000 yuan, 8,000 x 80 = 6.4 million yuan.
2. Decoration, medium level, 80 square meters, estimated at 1.5 million yuan.
3. Appliances and furniture, estimated at 0.8 million yuan (partly funded by the bride as dowry).
4. Car, standard for a regular car (usually mid-range, now priced at around 1 million yuan after discount). No reasonable Guangzhou girl agrees to use transportation other than a car.
5. Banquet, calculated at a four-star hotel with 200 people (20 tables), including self-brought alcohol, cigarettes, and candies, estimated at 200 x 200 = 0.4 million yuan. Red envelopes received are averaged at 2,000 per table, 2,000 x 20 = 0.4 million yuan, income and expenditure balance.
6. Honeymoon, firmly refuses to go to Hong Kong, Macao, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Yunnan, Hainan. Mainly travels to Australia, Europe, or the Maldives, with the Maldives as the standard, average cost per person at over 10,000 yuan, total cost at 0.3 million yuan.
7. From dating to deciding to get married (courtship period), including going out to eat, buying gifts, entertainment, travel, giving festival gifts to the girlfriend's parents, etc., averaging 2,000 yuan per month, over 2 years, estimated at 2,000 x 12 x 2 = 0.48 million yuan.
In summary, total costs amount to 6.4 + 1.5 + 0.8 + 1 + 0.3 + 0.48 = 10.48 million yuan. With a family property of 3 million yuan and an annual income of 0.6 million yuan for the man, (10.48 - 3) / 0.6 = 12 years.
The final conclusion is: the man spends all his family's fortune + works without eating or drinking for 12 years = the cost of marrying a Guangzhou wife with middle conditions! (The above calculation does not include gifts, depending on the bride's parents.)

7. From dating to deciding to get married (courtship period), including going out to eat, buying gifts, entertainment, travel, giving festival gifts to the girlfriend's parents, etc., averaging 2,000 yuan per month, over 2 years, estimated at 2,000 x 12 x 2 = 0.48 million yuan ((not counting if negotiations break down later) (exceptions for speed-dating individuals))
In summary, total costs amount to 8 + 1.5 + 1 + 1.5 + 0.3 + 0.48 = 12.78 million yuan. With a family property of 2.78 million yuan and an annual income of 0.6 million yuan for the man, (12.78 - 2.78) / 0.6 = 16.6666666666 years.
The final conclusion is: the man spends all his family's fortune + works without eating or drinking for nearly 17 years = the cost of marrying a Hangzhou wife with middle conditions!
Cost of marrying a Suzhou wife with middle conditions
Suzhou ladies, is this correct? Taking Suzhou as an example, it is very difficult to marry a wife without a certain material foundation. Marriage requires a house, and Suzhou girls generally do not want to live with their parents, so purchasing a separate wedding house is the first task every Suzhou man needs to complete, and buying a house is naturally the responsibility of the man. Below, I will roughly calculate the various costs of marrying a wife with upper-middle conditions (college degree or above, good figure and appearance, stable job):
1. One apartment (over 100 square meters, downtown), average price at 6,000 yuan, 6,000 x 100 = 6 million yuan.
2. Decoration, medium level, 100 square meters, estimated at 1 million yuan.
3. Appliances and furniture, estimated at 0.5 million yuan (partly funded by the bride as dowry), so estimated at 0.25 million yuan.
4. Car, standard for a regular commuting car, estimated at 1 million yuan. Some reasonable girls agree to use electric scooters as an alternative, estimated at 1,500 yuan.
5. Banquet, calculated at a mid-range hotel (Xile level) with 25 tables, including self-brought alcohol, cigarettes, and candies, estimated at 1,000 x 25 = 0.25 million yuan. Red envelopes received are averaged at 2,000 per table, 2,000 x 25 = 0.5 million yuan, profit at 0.25 million yuan.
6. Honeymoon, mainly traveling to Hong Kong, Macao, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Yunnan, Hainan, average cost per person at 6,000 yuan, estimated at 6,000 x 2 = 0.12 million yuan.

In summary, minimum total costs amount to 6 + 1 + 0.25 + 0.015 - 0.25 + 0.12 + 0.36 = 7.495 million yuan.
With a family property of 3 million yuan and an annual income of 0.6 million yuan for the man, (7.495 - 3) / 0.6 = 7.5 years. The final conclusion is: the man spends all his family's fortune + works without eating or drinking for 7.5 years = the cost of marrying a Suzhou wife with upper-middle conditions! (The above is for reference only for Suzhou gentlemen)
Cost of marrying a Wuhan wife
There is no doubt about the cost of marrying a Wuhan wife. However, can this money be counted as "cost"? This is a question. According to this logic, the corresponding term to "cost" is "profit", so how should the "profit" of marrying a wife be calculated? Is the "wife" considered an "asset" or a "liability"? Is it "fixed" or "current"? Therefore, not everything can be studied using accounting methods.
1. One apartment in the city center (over 80 square meters), down payment at 0.8 million yuan. Monthly payment at 0.08 million yuan.
2. Decoration, find friends' connections for affordable home decoration, 80 square meters, estimated at 0.5 million yuan.

5. Banquet, calculated at a four-star hotel with 200 people (20 tables) at 800 yuan per table, already quite good. Estimated at 20 x 800 = 0.16 million yuan. Red envelopes received are averaged at 2,000 per table, 2,000 x 20 = 0.4 million yuan, earning back 0.24 million yuan. But cannot be misused as future favors need to be returned.
6. Honeymoon, since there is a grand banquet, the honeymoon can wait until after resting well and going next year. Total cost: saved.
7. From dating to deciding to get married (courtship period), including going out to eat, buying gifts, entertainment, travel, giving festival gifts to the girlfriend's parents, etc
