Not really. If they were really, really frugal, the most I could see that lasting is 2 years.

- Macuyiko 8y agoSee another comment in this thread: "$10,000 is typical for bride-price in China and only a bit higher than average annual Chinese income. The Chinese do save more than 30% of their income so that is about three years of savings for average earners in China". That seems more in line with my experience (and the $10,000 price is also something I've heard often). I could easily see my grandparents in law (who live in rural China) be able to live of $10k for three years, given that nothing exceptional happens.
- throw930336 8y agoI see what you're saying. I guess it depends on how people interpret "a lot." To me it would have to be at least 5x the average.
- dEnigma 8y agoIn rural China? I can live pretty comfortably on 10k for two years in an Austrian city with my cheap apartment and by abstaining from luxuries.
