아무튼, 감사합니다:)
As many consider having their own home as one of the most crucial values in their life, increased numbers of people who pursued owning a home rather than renting one were reported in some countries. While some may think that owning their house would be more beneficial, I personally think that this phenomenon can bring about negative consequence. In this essay, I will discuss about the cause of this phenomenon and a negative result that this situation may bring about.
To begin with, people prefer to have their own house as it make people feel safe and guaranteed their future. As the housing fees are continuously increasing in some countries due to the countries’ unstable economic status or political issues, renting could be too risky for people since they can’t guarantee if they can buy houses in future. In fact, as the legislation regarding housing was passed in July, 2020, in Korea, the cost of house was skyrocketed, particularly in urban areas. Surprisingly, the number of people who bought the houses were escalated. People were worried if they could not buy any house in the future as the costs were becoming more and more expensive, and thus some who could afford the costs bought their own house to guarantee their living spaces and feel safe. Therefore, it is evident that people feel safer about their future when they own their house.
However, in terms of individuals, this is a negative phenomenon as individuals would not be able to spare money in their own life, ultimately leading to some issues like dissatisfaction of their own lives or depression. Since owning their own house costs much more than renting one, people have to sacrifice leisure time or personal living expenses to own their houses. For example, according to one survey conducted in Korea, many adults from age of 30s to 40s have claimed that they were suffering from a lack of margin to spare money for their own time due to the overwhelmingly high costs of the house. Some were even reported that they are not satisfied with their current lives of earning money for owning a house, and there were few people who answered that they were suffering from minor depression as they can’t enjoy their lives. For these reasons, I believe that owning a home is considered as a negative situation as it may cause unpleasant results.
To sum up, it is true that many people values owning a house more than just renting one. People may feel more safety and guaranteed for their futures when they own their own houses; however, I believe that such a phenomenon is negative due to the negative results that this situation might bring about such as potential depression or dissatisfaction of people’s lives.
