Topic 1 . Five tips for choosing where to live
Shall I live close to family? My job? In an expensive area or somewhere more affordable?
It is not only the price of property that matters when choosing where to live. Research may help when trying to find the answers to these tricky questions on choosing where to live.
1. Watch out for … travel time
Economists say commuting can be bad for our happiness. Researchers at the University of Zurich have estimated that the average person who spends 46 minutes a day travelling to and from work would need a pay rise of 19% to be as happy as the average person who doesn't commute. So beware travel time when choosing where to live.
2. Watch out for … wealthy neighbours
Research suggests the power of peer pressure influences a huge amount in our lives _ and our neighbours are no different. If people around us spend, we are encouraged to as well, a study on the Dutch postcode lottery suggests.
3. Watch out for … friends and family
Friends and family have been found to make us happy, with academic Nattavudh Powdthavee writing that, for the average English person, seeing friends or family on most days rather than once or twice a week increases happiness by as much as would a pay rise of £15,000 (?18,000) a year. So living in close proximity to friends or family might pay _ emotionally at least.
4. Watch out for … high travel costs
Commuting to work can effectively reduce earnings. Like the eZonomics article on money illusion (that argued inflation and other factors could be used when negotiating a pay rise), so too can the costs of travel. If you are looking to change jobs for one that's better paid, watch out for high travel costs as a lower paid job closer to where you live could in effect give you a higher income. It is of particular note given big spikes in the price of fuel.
5. Watch out for … transport links
Economic studies explore links between unemployment and homeownership. These include Andrew Oswald at the University of Warwick in the 1990s and a 2004 study from the Netherlands. One explanation is that homeowners find it difficult to move or are reluctant to sell for a job. Good transport links may help, as they can open up a wider area to which homeowners can easily travel to and from work.

Topic2. Having House in Korea
In Korea, it takes more than a decade for the average salaried worker to buy his or her own house, as numerous surveys have shown over the years.
But now it looks like renting homes has become equally trying, according to data released by a local property-information portal on Friday.
Real Estate Bank said “Jeonse” costs are surging as more people opt to rent homes instead of buying them, not to mention that growing inflationary pressure is pushing prices up in all sectors including real estate.
Jeonse is a unique Korean rent system under which homes are rented out, usually for two years at a time, in return for a lump sum of key money.
After analyzing incomes and renting costs, Real Estate Bank said that families would have to save their entire income for five years and two months in order to rent a 33-pyeong (109 square meters) house in Seoul.
As of April this year, families in Seoul city earned an average 3.9 million won ($3,580) per month, which was up 3 percent from the 3.8 million won in April in the previous year.
In comparison, the rent for 109 square-meter housing rose more than 15 percent to 248 million won ($227,000) in April from the 215 million won last year.
A 109 square-meter home usually consists of three bedrooms and two bathrooms and is considered an ideal size for a family of three or four.
Real Estate Bank said it takes about five years for families with such income to rent a home of this size.
Jeonse was more expensive in the affluent Gangnam district where 109 square-meter homes were priced from 295 million won to a maximum 426 million won, meaning it takes much longer to rent homes there.
Homes located north of the Han River, such as Seodaemun district, cost around 165 million won, which would mean the average salaried worker could rent a home after saving for three years and four months.
