Introduction:Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Wu!"No man can be a face, and the sea cannot be measured. This poem is said by the ancient Chinese writer Du Fu, which means that a person's appearance does not determine his inner wealth and value. However, with the development and change of society, a new type of poor people is quietly emerging, and they have different characteristics and manifestations from the traditional poor. Recently, a survey showed that the existence of a new type of poor has become a problem that cannot be ignored in today's society.
Working senior life is struggling:It seems that the annual salary is hundreds of thousands, and the work industry is also high, and outsiders seem to be high-paid white-collar workers, but they still live a "poor" life. Survey data shows that about 10% of high-tech workers are currently unable to pay for high housing prices and the rising cost of living, and this number is rising year by year. Although many high-level white-collar workers seem to have a lot of income from the outside world, due to high mortgages, children's education costs, and the huge pressure of social spending, they often choose a lower level of consumption and even find it difficult to make ends meet.
There has been a change in the concept of consumption: in the past, people generally believed that the poor were people who could not afford to pay for food and clothing, but now with the progress of society, material needs have been basically satisfied, and people's spiritual needs have gradually increased. However, the new type of poor is more spiritually "poor". They are so addicted to all kinds of virtual worlds that they can't extricate themselves and even become slaves to games and networks. According to survey data, about 60% of the new poor spend hours a day on games and social networks, which not only consumes a lot of time and money, but also leads to a decrease in productivity and interpersonal alienation. This change in the concept of consumption has triggered a reflection on spiritual poverty.
Huge debt: China's credit card debt has exceeded 5 trillion yuan, according to the data, and some of them are overspending on luxury goods and travel. They are stuck in an endless cycle of repaying their debts, and their lives are getting harder and harder. These people tend to be greedy for a momentary pleasure, and they look at them very much in the unexpected world, eager to buy all the luxury goods such as designer bags and electronic products. Just to be superior to outsiders. But the consequence of this action is endless debts and arrears!Fragile psychological qualities: The new poor also exhibit psychologically different characteristics from the traditional poor. They often feel anxious, lost, and helpless, and gradually lose their true happiness in the pursuit of material pleasures and illusory pleasures. Many people even develop psychological problems such as anxiety and depression.
The reason for this phenomenon is that the emergence of a new type of poor has brought a series of problems and challenges to society, but we cannot place all the blame on them personally. In fact, it is also a complex issue that is intertwined with social, economic and cultural factors. For example, with the rapid development of the Internet, many young people have come into contact with a richer and more diverse lifestyle and seen the outside world, which can easily cause a distorted view of consumption. There is also a change in the social atmosphere, and people's comparison and vanity are becoming more and more heavy, which leads many people to pay too much attention to material life, and eventually move towards the ranks of the new poor!Summary: "Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself." This famous quote of the ancient literati Tao Yuanming means that people should transcend material desires and pursue inner peace and balance. To solve the problem of the new poor, we should not only be limited to the economic and material aspects, but also need to start from the psychological and cultural aspects, and give more care and attention to the individual.
