Do you know how cheap it can be to invite friends for a cup of coffee outside now?

I know. IKEA 7 pieces 9 two cups, and unlimited refills.

So in the afternoon, the restaurant was full of people, as if conspiring to a carnival of consumption downgrade. I know a friend who has a mine at home. Since childhood, he has been satisfied with all kinds of materials, living a life of fine clothes and food, and was sent by his family to study abroad in his early years, and his biggest hobby is to buy, buy, buy.

Moreover, she has two characteristics of buying things, one is keen to chase new big-name products, and the other is that she likes mass sales. I bought a time to go to the UK before, and bought Swarovski in boxes to bring back to China, although a few hundred to thousands of artificial crystals are not too expensive, but they can't stand a lot of it....

It's such a rich and money-loving friend who educated me about my consumption concept two days ago.

At the beginning of the matter, the two of them had nothing to say, I praised her for her soft hair, she said that when she reached 40, she was praised more than she praised the workplace scenery.

Then I casually asked what kind of shampoo to use, and her eyes lit up after hearing it, and she said to me mysteriously that you don't know, and you are now being cultivated by domestic products.

After the Huaxizi eyebrow pencil incident in the previous paragraph, a bunch of domestic products rose and dominated all the live broadcast rooms, the shampoo she used was bought in the live broadcast room, dark gray plastic bottles, anti-dandruff patents, the name forgot what it was called, I only remember that it was the one that was 70 yuan and directly slammed 3 bottles.

When I bought it, I purely had an impulse of love, and I had the idea of supporting domestic products Anyway, it was not expensive, but after using it, the effect was magical, and my hair was black and soft, and there was really no dandruff.

Unlike Kiehl's that I used before, a bottle of shampoo costs more than 200 yuan, plus a set of conditioner is hundreds of dollars, the fragrance is good, but after using up the snow, I didn't feel that the money was spent unjustly, but now the shampoo has achieved a breakthrough in domestic products, opening up a new world for her.

The skincare product then underwent a round of iterations. In the past, she believed that ** should be expensive, on the one hand, she was rich, on the other hand, because she was rich, she cared about what she was for, and her mother worked so hard, couldn't she throw more money on herself?

More than 10,000 pieces of Coco's complete set, three or four thousand pieces of small bottle of caviar essence, more expensive than eating caviar;There are more than 3,000 black and white bandages for the new Internet celebrity, and one bottle at a time greets the face...

The actual effect cannot be said to be none, but it may not be as perfect as we think when we spend money. Some people use radiant looks like first love for the first time, and they become middle-aged marriages after using them twice, which is chicken ribs and tasteless.

Now all of them have been replaced with domestic products. Bosein cream 1000 pieces of five bottles, essence 299 two bottles, rich in Damascus rose essential oil, also two boxes **...

There is no pressure to buy, and it is not painful to use. The most important thing is that the effect is not bad, because it is cheap, and the neck is applied, and the hands are painted, so that there is no blind spot in the whole body maintenance of Bose.

After skin care products, I began to study wardrobes, bags...

Once the middle class is downgraded in consumption, they will find out how much IQ tax they paid for their luxurious life in the past.

Grandma Xiang has sixty or seventy thousand, and it took a month of hardware to wear off the color. At first, I thought I was buying a fake, so I ran to Xiaohongshu to check how to distinguish the authenticity, but after clicking on it, hundreds of complaints were posted, saying that because of the Indian brass used in hardware, the one that does not fade is not genuine....

D lambskin is soft and broken when touched, P shell oversized will bulge, the most exaggerated is Miu, which is often regarded as a luxury fashion brand, and the quality of the rubbing shoulders....

The design is also very amazing, the small size can't even accommodate a bag belt, it doesn't have any practicality, and the role is just a decoration, marking the bottom price of a person's life.

Again and again, they consumed impulsively, exchanged for useless idle goods, and the queue was broken in ten years, becoming a mockery of middle-class life.

Middle-class women had a dream called to achieve the freedom of the lamer. Every time I went to the United States before, there were always people in the brigade who brought goods in sets and sets, and a bottle of more than 2,000 creams was bought without mercy, and the money was like a strong wind...

I had never seen the world, and I was shocked to see it, and I didn't know at the time that no matter how expensive skin care products I used twice, they would become placebos. Because of the ** that has been vigorously chickened, there is also a burnout period....

Once the mentality of the middle class changes, the joy of consumption downgrade cannot be stopped at all

Ten years ago, when I sat in the office, I was envious of the people on the financial street who held a cup of Starbucks in their hands, but now it has become a freelance job, and the neighbors who own seven or eight properties are happily drinking eight yuan of Cudi coffee...

The most powerful thing about our generation is that they can bend and stretch.

More than 6,000 Amman can live in one night, and 100 yuan can sleep in a youth hostel. Before the whole family went to Phuket, they chose all como pool villas, once because of the night flight direct flight, early in the morning to fear that the child could not hold on, at the airport to find a small resort, four or five hundred yuan a night, pool room, lemon coconut tree, wow, take a step to sweep out a small piece of surprise-

A few hundred meters away is a national park that does not cost money, local restaurants around, 20 yuan for a huge grilled fish, dozens of yuan for an authentic tom yum soup, coconut milk rice for free...

The fireworks in the world are simply not too fragrant.

A friend said that when she was a teenager, she read a book called "Class", which was an enlightenment book about her social and consumer stratification, and there was a passage in it that I still remember

When you put your hands in your pockets, only when you can feel the softness of the fur and the silkiness of the silk in the pocket, and enjoy this comfort alone, is it called true style.

It wasn't until I was 40 years old that I understood the true meaning of this sentence after the consumption downgrade: I don't care what others think, what my mother wants is to please herself.

So far, the middle class has not only completed the downgrade of consumption, but also solved the psychological self-consistency of consumption downgrade. Recently, even Internet celebrities have gone to Haidilao to jump di:It's not that you can't afford to go to nightclubs, but Haidilao is more cost-effective.

It's the same with educating children, equestrian golf when you have money, take your baby to the United Kingdom and the United States for winter and summer vacations, you can football + running if you don't have money, the latter doesn't even have to buy a ball, as long as you are willing to move your legs....

The middle class has completed the downgrade of consumption in the process of economic downturn, as well as the self-consistency after the downgrade of consumption

Why do you want to pretend to be someone else?

Those self-cultivation that comes from that kind of low vanity have no practical value, and at this age you have to live to understand that if you think these things are good for you, you have to put aside all vanity.

Some people don't live in houses in Hong Kong and London, and they are crowded with their parents in two sets of stacked old and dilapidated communities, complacent about the property fee of six cents and one flat, and being fed every day...

Some people's cloakrooms are stuffed with all kinds of big brands, but now they are wearing live broadcast goods, and when they see the new generation of leeks sweeping like cabbage in SKP famous stores, they will only smile slightly...

There are also people who enjoy the light of domestic products wholeheartedly, and completely get rid of the blind worship of big names in those years from the bottom of their hearts....

If you have money or not, you don't have to pretend, which may be the biggest gain brought to the middle class by the economic downturn.

Education is also the same consumption logic: I have studied in the public school district, and I have refused to pay the IQ tax by taking the international route.

Someone used to take millions to build a relationship with the child in the school district, and wanted to fight for the opportunity to enter the cow school, so what if he tried his best to send the baby in?Just let yourself learn:

The reason why the third secondary school can enter the top six primary schools in Haidian is not that the school is good enough, but that the parents selected by the third secondary school work superhumanly;

There are also parents who spend more than one million to send their children to international schools, and they are not very good at English after graduating from primary school

I have advised many friends to pay attention to the distribution of family finances when funds are limited, and not to blindly smash education. Now they have the money to do pension planning, and they can also support their children, I don't know how fragrant it is...

Middle-class consumption is downgraded, with a kind of light breeze that has passed through a thousand sails, as long as you don't pretend, you can live a good life.
