What 1 Day's Salary Buys in China 🇨🇳 | A Weekend Grocery Haul & Life in My 13㎡ Apartment

What a glorious meal you prepared for your brother and sister. You are a wonderful big sister and work magic in that little kitchen of yours! ✨

❤️ I’d love to hear about your daily life too. How much do you usually spend on groceries each week in your country? Do you prefer local markets, or big supermarkets like Walmart and Sam’s Club? For Sam’s club, I bought a secondary card, it was $12 for one year. A little reminder for our community: I don’t use Telegram to contact viewers.

I'm an American the same age as you from North Carolina! I love watching your videos. The culture difference between where we live is insane. Your videos make me happy and give me something to look forward to! Much love. <3

What many people may not know is that, taking Shanghai as an example, the current monthly minimum wage standard stands at 2,740 yuan, while China’s individual income tax threshold is 5,000 yuan per month. Judging solely by income tax rules, workers earning the minimum wage do not need to pay individual income tax. This marks a clear difference from many Western countries. In numerous high-welfare Western nations, full-time workers on the minimum wage face combined deductions (individual income tax plus mandatory social security contributions) generally equivalent to 30% to 40% of their pre-tax income. Naturally, there are vast differences in tax and social security systems across countries, so simplistic cross-country comparisons are inappropriate. I merely aim to objectively illustrate these two distinctions.

Ting I’m so happy for you that your brother and sister are with you for the summer. Tell your sister I love her smile. She is pretty like you but in a different way 💕 Your brother looks so mature and intelligent.

Ting you are awesome and a good person. I find so much peace when I watch your videos. Thank you.❤

Ting, Your brother and sister are so adorable, and you are amazing with them. One can see the love between you three. They are blessed to have you as their older sister. Tears of joy just flowed watching you all together. Even as they mature and follow their in paths through life, they will always have these warm memories of their time with just you. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Food is way more costly in my country although income, for me, is at enough of a level to cover that expense. However, like you, I always keep my eyes open for the discounted prices to stretch the dollars a little bit more.

👏 to “Little Bruce” for not spilling anything on his beloved new tee shirt 😊

Your recent changes to your apartment have made it look lovely. I think walking up and down stairs keeping you very fit with low blood pressure 😊

This was such a cute video. Watching you spend time with your siblings as you explore a new place and share a meal was so adorable. You're a wonderful sister Ting.

Thanks!

In America the food is double the price but we also earn double the salary or more. But China seems a lot cleaner and less crime. I'm a heavy equipment operator and I take home $1,100 a week I live in Florida. I work 48 hours a week. Is extremely hot here in the summer today it is 104° Fahrenheit. I live in a two-bedroom house with a nice backyard. I pay $1,500 a months in rent which is actually very good usually houses go for 2000 per month. You should come visit Florida. LOL you would have free room and board. I love watching your Channel. There is something very peaceful about it❤

Your blood pressure (84/56) would be considered very low (hypotension) in Europe/UK. If you feel perfectly fine, it is not be an issue. But if you usually feel dizzy, fatigued, or "confused" at times, then it might be a reason why :) Take care!

Much better to shop in your local grocery stores for best value.

This is so sweet. Thank you for letting us see these moments in your life.

It’s so nice to have family with you! Thank you for sharing your day with us. It was beautiful to see you with your sister and brother. 🥰🇨🇦

Ting, working very hard to please her family. You are an angel 😇

Every loves free samples no matter what country they live in 😊

Ting, thank you for sharing the video—it reflects simplicity, respect, and smiles.🌹

That dinner was so beautiful, and it's heartwarming to see the happiness on your faces! You see how funny things are: you bought that equipment for camping, and it was so well used here!
