Buying gold beans, buying funds, speculating in stocks… young people are enthusiastic about investment and financial management. Not only do they try to save money, but they also let the money “in and out strictly”, or don’t spend it at all, such as the young people who “spend 27 yuan in 5 days” that went viral on the Internet two days ago; or start to choose more rational Consumption methods, such as buying cost-effective second-hand goods, etc.
It can be said that the natural “money-saving” attribute of second-hand transactions “smartly fits” with the demands of young people today. Whether it is to sell high-priced idle goods to recover blood, or to buy good products at low prices to improve the quality of life, second-hand has already become “economical, environmentally friendly, and interesting.” synonymous with life, has become a way of life for many young people.
The era of “buy, buy, buy” has passed, and young people prefer to “save, save, save”
The rejuvenation and onlineization of financial management have already been foreshadowed.
Two years ago, a large number of young “basic citizens” flooded into the market, which set off a wave of “universal speculation in the foundations”. Although most people end up with losses in the end, it can be seen that compared with the traditional financial management concepts of their parents, young people’s investment awareness has begun to awaken, and their investment enthusiasm will only increase.
Many people regrouped, adjusted their financial management direction in time, and switched to a more stable track. According to the latest data, by 2022, there will be more than 160 million Internet investment and wealth management users, among which groups under the age of 30 will become the main force.
The “White Paper on Investment Attitudes of Chinese Youth in 2022” clearly mentioned that, as the affluent generation, investment and financial management has become an important topic accompanying the growth of Generation Z, and they also show the characteristics of strong investment awareness and high initiative.
After paying more attention to the pleasure of “making money”, the “pain” of spending money also becomes more profound. Young people are full of strange tricks, and they have begun to explore how to spend correctly and save money.
For example, Douban’s “Poor People’s Desperate Saving Money Group”, “Consumption Downgrading Group”, “Don’t Buy|Consumerism Rebel Group”, etc., have attracted hundreds of thousands of people since their establishment. Discuss various topics about rational consumption.
For another example, on Valentine’s Day that just passed, there was a trend of “picking up garbage” on the Internet. Young people no longer celebrated the festival, but turned into “romantic recycling bins” and took to the streets to “hunt for treasure”, expecting to find high prices to be thrown away. gifts, and resell for a fortune through their usual second-hand trading methods.

It has become an excellent way for young people to restore blood and save money.

The acceptance rate is extremely high, and even the social attributes of second-hand transactions have been excavated.
