Young people in South Korea are turning their backs on marriage, according to a government report.

A survey by Statistics Korea of Koreans aged between 19 and 34 found that just 36% have a positive opinion of marriage.

That's down from 56% in 2012.

The report found that many young Koreans feel they do not have enough money for marriage at a time when the cost of living is high.

Others said they don't think that marriage is necessary.

The report also found that only 28% of the women surveyed have a positive opinion of marriage.

This may be because women are choosing to put their jobs first — before marrying and starting a family.

Earlier in the year, Statistics Korea said that the number of marriages in the country in 2022 was the lowest ever recorded.

There were 192,000 marriages in 2022. The number of marriages recorded has now decreased in each of the last 11 years.

The government is worried, and has spent years trying to encourage young people to marry and have children, since the country's birth rate is also falling.

But more Koreans are happy to stay single. There is even a word for people who choose not to marry: bihon.

And instead of encouraging Koreans to marry, some people are asking the government to do more for single people who have chosen to live on their own.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【财务自由】的话题。
这几年财务自由这个词非常流行，很多人的生活和工作目标都是实现财务自由。那么，财务自由到底是什么意思呢？很多人觉得财务自由就是有很多钱，想买什么就买什么，想不工作就不工作。我发现，很多人希望财务自由，最主要的原因是他们觉得工作太累了，不想工作了。如果可以实现财务自由，那么就可以不工作，提前退休了。
还有一种人是，他们希望实现财务自由以后，可以去做自己喜欢的工作。现在的工作是为了生存，可能他们并不喜欢，但是至少为他们提供了稳定的收入。他们喜欢的工作赚不了什么钱，如果冲动地辞职，去追求自己的兴趣爱好，生活都是个问题。所以他们选择忍耐，先努力工作、攒钱，希望有一天可以实现财务自由。
财务自由有一个比较专业的定义，指的是“除了劳动所得之外，我们的一些被动性投资收入，可以每年完全覆盖我们日常的全部支出”。这里强调的是被动性投资收入，例如基金、股票等。例如你有五百万的存款买了基金和股票，每年达到10%的收益率，那么即使不工作，你一年也可以有50万的被动收入。如果你一年的支出不超过50万，那被动收入就可以覆盖你的日常支出了。当然，投资有风险，实际情况可能没有这么理想。
对于每个人来说，实现财务自由所需要的存款是不一样的。有的人觉得500万就够了，有的人觉得5000万都不够。这个和每个人的消费习惯和消费水平有关系。中国有句老话叫做“钱不是万能的，但没有钱是万万不能的”。有钱不一定幸福，但是没有钱过基本的生活，也很难幸福。特别是生病的时候，更能体会到钱的重要性。
你觉得拥有多少钱才能实现财务自由呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
