With prices for crude oil and other goods soaring internationally, rising inflation is making it tough for them to cover even basic living expenses. Real-estate prices have been skyrocketing as well. Young people who want to buy a home in Taipei City, for example, would need to save every penny for ten or 20 years to turn their dream into a reality.
近 5 年更慘，國際大宗物資及油價飆漲，通貨膨脹壓力日益嚴重，即使基本生活支出都捉襟見肘；房價則是節節飆升，想在首善之都台北市買房子，得不吃不喝一、二十年，才有機會實現夢想。
