B: 我哋公司最近計劃裁員啊,但係我仲孭緊成身債。 A: 你爭人錢仲結婚? B: 就係因為結婚要買樓囉。我父母將成副身家俾晒我嚟做首期啊。 A: 咁你問銀行貸咗幾多啊? B: 七成按揭,成三百萬。 A: 有樓供未偷笑囉。我首期都未儲夠,外母唔俾個女嫁俾我啊。 B: 結咗婚一樣煩。我老婆係全職主婦,供樓得我一份糧,好擔心比人炒啊。 ----English---- A: Why are you so depressed after getting married? B: My company is downsizing, and I'm buried in debt. A: You got married while in debt? B: I took out a loan for the apartment because I was getting married. My parents spent all their savings on the down-payment. A: How much money did you borrow from the bank? B: The mortgage is for seventy percent. Almost three million. A: You should be happy you have mortgage to pay. I can't even save up enough for a down-payment. My future mother-in-law doesn't want to marry her daughter to me at all. B: It's not much better when you are married. My wife is a full-time housewife, and the whole mortgage is on me. So I'm really worried about getting fired. ----Pinyin---- A: zou6 mat1 gam3 seoi4 tau4 song3 hei3 aa3 san1 long4 go1?
