      There are also tons of affordable housing options and public transit. So that 22,000 yuan can go a long way. It's not poverty wages like we have in america, where 60% of your money goes to rent, 10% to car, 20% to food, and the last 10 might be lucky enough to get saved (but usually put into emergency expenses).
