A hot topic has aroused heated discussions among netizens: Why can't most young people save money now?
Let's take a look at the answers shared by netizens:
Today's young people can't save money, and the impact of the social environment cannot be ignored. Today's society, like a huge consumer magnetic field, attracts young people all the time.
Advertisements are everywhere, and they are like a carefully woven web of temptation that envelops young people.
Whether on TV, on the Internet, or on the streets, those colorful and creative advertisements are constantly showing young people all kinds of new goods and fashionable lifestyles.
The new electronic product is boasted as if it can own the whole world; Fashionable clothing brands preach that only by wearing them can they show their personality and charm.
Young people are already curious about new things, and under the bombardment of these advertisements, it is difficult not to be impressed.
Merchants also continue to launch various promotional activities to stimulate young people's desire to consume. Slogans such as "limited-time discount", "full discount", and "buy one get one free" make young people feel that they will lose money if they don't buy at this time.
They tend to buy things that they don't need in the first place in order to enjoy these so-called benefits. Today's shopping channels are extremely convenient, and products can be delivered to your doorstep with just a tap of your phone. This convenience makes it easier for young people to make impulsive purchases.
Social media is also flooded with all sorts of conspicuous consumer content. The new bags and luxury travel photos posted by friends in the circle of friends, and the luxury goods and high-end lifestyles displayed by Internet celebrities all make young people feel that if they don't keep up with the trend, they will be eliminated by society.
In order to gain the recognition and envy of others, they will unconsciously imitate these consumption behaviors, even if their own economic strength does not allow it.
Today's young people are facing a lot of work pressure and life pressure. Long working hours, fierce competition, complex interpersonal relationships, etc., make them feel exhausted.
They may use consumption to relieve stress, such as traveling, eating good food, buying luxury goods, etc. Although this kind of consumption behavior can make them forget their troubles for a while to a certain extent, it also leads to their inability to save money.
The evaluation criteria for young people in society are also relatively simple, and a person's success is often measured by the amount of material wealth.
Under the influence of this perception, young people are more focused on consumption, trying to prove their worth by having more material things. They will work hard to buy a good car and a big house, but they ignore the importance of saving.
In such a social environment, it is indeed not easy for young people to save money.
But they should also recognize that overconsumption does not lead to true happiness and satisfaction. They can learn to consume rationally, not to be swayed by advertising and promotions, and not to blindly follow the consumption trends on social media.
