Can there be a home without a house?
Here's a sampling of opinions on the China Daily Mobile Phone Newspaper forum on marriage and housing:
"As a woman of the post-80s generation, I think a house is one of the economic fundamentals of love and marriage. Apart from love, a home of her own is what make a woman feel secure." - 1505***2886, Yantai, Shandong province
"Since our social security system needs further improvement, it will be a huge life burden if people get sick or have an accident, while they have already spent a lot on buying a house. Most people of the post-80s generation rely on their parents' savings for the down payment on a house. That will lower parents' old-age care standards and their life quality. It is unwise for young people who have just started on a career to buy a house, because it will put their future at great risk." - 1381***1378, Beijing
