2024,回台灣,還是不回?這是個大問題!

嗨,各位小夥伴們!我是一名在國外晃悠了好一陣子的台灣人。今天我的心情有點複雜,最近啊,我這腦袋裡一直在糾結一件超級大的事兒,那就是2024年搬回台灣到底值不值得呢?這可真是個讓人糾結頭髮都要掉光的難題啊!我想來和大家嘮嘮我這心裡的小九九。
 
我為什麼會有搬回台灣這個念頭呢? 

我們先說說在國外生活的這些日子吧。我在國外待了這麼久,有好有壞。好的呢,就是見識了不少新東西:我看到了不一樣的風景,體驗了不同的文化,有很多新鮮事兒,我也認識了不少很有意思的新朋友。但是呢,時間一長,總覺得缺少了些什麼,我這心裡就開始不舒服了。有時候,那種飄來飄去的感覺真的讓我很難受。每當我走在陌生的街道上,總覺得自己是個外人。每當夜深人靜的時候,我會特別想念台灣,想念那熟悉的街道,想念那一口口地道的美食,想念家裡的親人和朋友。
 
那如果搬回台灣呢?

​好處也是不少滴。台灣,那是我的根。
 
首先呢,台灣有我們最愛的美食啊!在國外的時候,整天就是漢堡、薯條、披薩什麼的,吃多了真的膩得難受。一想到台灣滷肉飯的香氣、蚵仔煎的鮮美、大腸包小腸……光想想就流口水啦。而且,在台灣,和家人朋友在一起,那種溫暖的感覺是在國外怎麼也找不到的。可以隨時約朋友去夜市逛逛,吃吃喝喝,聊聊八卦,這日子多愜意啊。
 
·家人也在台灣,能多陪陪他們。在國外的時候,雖然也能視訊聊天什麼的,但是跟面對面的感覺完全不一樣。有時候遇到點事兒,想找個人說說心裡話,都覺得隔著那麼遠,不踏實。搬回台灣後,我們就可以常常見面,一起吃飯、一起聊天、一起分享生活中的喜怒哀樂。我想在他們身邊,感受那份實實在在的溫暖與關懷,真的太讓人懷念了。
 
·而且,台灣的生活節奏也比較適中,不像有些國外的大城市那麼快節奏,讓人喘不過氣來。在台灣,我可以有更多的時間去享受生活,去做自己喜歡的事。台灣的自然風光也很美啊,我可以去海邊散步,去山上看看風景。這種悠閒的生活方式,真的很吸引人呢。
 
工作方面呢,台灣也有很多機會。雖然可能沒有國外那麼高的薪資,但是生活成本也相對低一些呀。而且,在自己熟悉的環境工作,會更有歸屬感。
 
而且,台灣的醫療水準也很不錯。如果有什麼病痛,可以及時得到治療。台灣的社會治安也比較好,不用擔心安全問題。
 
還有,台灣的文化氛圍也很濃厚。可以參加各種文化活動,豐富自己的生活。
 
但是呢,搬回台灣也不是沒有顧慮啦。 

這想搬回去的心雖然強烈,但想到實際的問題,我又開始猶豫了。畢竟在國外生活了這麼久,我已經習慣了這裡的生活方式。擔心回去後會不適應台灣的節奏,擔心找不到合適的工作,擔心生活成本太高......各種擔心湧上心頭。回到台灣,我可能會面臨一些挑戰和困難。
 
我們先來聊聊台灣的生活成本的問題吧。在國外生活了這麼久,物價水準其實也不低,但也習慣了,相對來說比較穩定,房租、水電費、食品價格等都有一定的規律可循。但聽說台灣這些年物價也漲了不少啊。特別是房價,那簡直是高得嚇人。台北的房價就不用說了,貴得離譜。其他城市的房價雖然相對低一些,但也不便宜。要是搬回去,住哪裡就是個大問題。是買房還是租房?買房子吧,壓力太大,不知道得奮鬥多少年才能買得起;租房子吧,又擔心不穩定,隨時可能被房東趕出來,整天提心吊膽的。
 
還有水電費啊、物業費啊這些日常開銷也不低。在國外的時候,這些費用還比較好控制,但是聽說台灣的水電費有時候會讓人吃不消。為了控制這些費用,許多人現在開始使用 VPN 來節省網路開銷,特別是 YouTube 的流量費用。找到 YouTube VPN 最平的方案尤其重要。特別是夏天,冷氣一開,電費那叫一個嚇人,蹭著上漲。台灣的美食雖然很多,食物價格也不便宜呢,有些進口的東西比國外還貴。所以,生活成本這一塊,壓力太大了,真的是讓我很糾結。
 
再來說說工作吧。在國外,我有一份還不錯的工作,收入也還可以。但是如果搬回台灣,能不能找到適合的工作呢?這真的是一個很大的未知數。台灣的就業市場競爭也很激烈啊,特別是一些熱門產業。而且薪資水準也不一定有國外高。要是回去後收入大幅下降,那生活品質一定也會受到影響。但是呢,我又覺得在台灣工作可能更有歸屬感。畢竟是在自己的家鄉嘛,語言、文化都沒有障礙。而且說不定還能有一些新的發展機會。所以,工作這一塊,真的是讓我左右為難。
 
教育也是個大問題啊。如果我搬回台灣,我的孩子的教育怎麼辦呢?在國外的時候,孩子接受的教育也還不錯,教育資源相對來說比較豐富,而且教育方式也比較多元化。但是,台灣的教育也有自己的優勢。台灣的教育注重傳統文化的傳承,在一些學科方面也有很高的程度。但是呢,台灣的教育也存在一些問題,升學壓力很大,孩子競爭也很激烈。這真的讓我很糾結,不知道該怎麼選擇才好。所以,在教育這一塊,我也需要好好考慮。
 
說了這麼多,我還是沒個準主意。到底是搬回台灣好呢,還是繼續留在國外好呢?真的好糾結啊!我也想問其他在國外生活過的朋友們,你們有沒有類似的糾結呢?你們是怎麼想的呢?
 
不過呢,我覺得吧,值不值得搬回台灣,這個問題沒有一個標準答案。每個人的情況都不一樣,所以需要根據自己的實際狀況來做決定。不管怎麼說,這都是個重大的決定,不能草率行事。我得再好好考慮考慮,權衡一下利弊。畢竟這關係到我和我的家人未來的生活。
 
希望我能盡快做出一個讓自己不後悔的決定吧。也希望大家都能在自己選擇的生活中過得幸福快樂。
