In 2023, a strange phenomenon is gradually emerging, that is, the trend of young people who love to save money is gradually increasing. Savings have always been the choice of middle-aged and elderly people, but nowadays more and more young people are also joining the ranks of saving money. This is not because they have more money to spare, but because they are worried about the uncertainty of the future. They feel that they can still make money now, so they should save more for possible job loss or loss of income in the future. At the same time, the investment style of young people is changing. In the past, they were more inclined to invest in high-risk but potential financial products, such as **, etc. However, in recent years, the risk of investing in the market has gradually increased, and young people have begun to realize the uncertainty of investment, so they have shifted their funds to relatively safe bank fixed deposits.
Young people's savings mean they are uncertain to worried about the future. With the rapid changes in the social economy, the instability of jobs and the increasing volatility of income, young people are uncertain to fear the future. Deposits are a stable hedging option for them, which can guarantee the safety of their funds and provide some financial security. In addition, the instability of the investment market has also had an impact on the investment mindset of young people, who are more inclined to keep their money in relatively safe deposits rather than risky investments.
In 2023, despite the gradual relaxation of epidemic control measures, there will be no expected retaliatory consumption in the high-end goods market, but a price reduction**. A number of domestic and foreign auto brands have announced price cuts**, even as much as 100,000 yuan. However, these measures have not significantly reversed the sluggish consumption. The main reason for this is the decline in the spending power of the middle class and the weakening of people's willingness to buy the best goods. In addition, the downturn in the real estate market has also affected the contraction of demand for home purchases, and many developers have been forced to cut prices sharply**, but the market response has been muted. Investors are more cautious, they are not willing to risk entering the market in the market of house prices, and the wait-and-see mood is stronger. In addition, the economic downturn has led to a decrease in the income of some people, unable to support high housing prices, and they hope that housing prices will be further advanced before buying houses, which further inhibits the demand for housing purchases.
The price reduction of high-end goods is not only a reflection of the relationship between supply and demand, but also a reflection of the mentality of consumers. The current price reduction phenomenon is not only the behavior of the supply side to actively reduce prices to promote consumption, but also the increase in sensitivity caused by the weakening of consumers' spending power. In the context of the current economic downturn, consumers' purchasing power has been compressed to a certain extent, and they pay more attention to the cost-effectiveness of goods. The positioning of high-end goods discourages consumers, so price reduction has become one of the means to attract consumption. In addition, the downturn in the real estate market has also directly affected the sales of high-end goods, and developers have had to choose to cut prices in order to get more cash flow**.
In recent years, due to the high domestic housing prices, most families can only go into debt for decades to buy a commercial house. However, after 2023, more and more people are choosing to repay their loans early, even at the expense of liquidated damages. There are two main reasons behind this phenomenon: one is that the mortgage interest rate has gradually decreased when you took out a loan to buy a house in previous years. After paying off the loan in advance, you can enjoy the lower interest rate of the previous loan if you re** the original property. Second, some people are worried about possible job losses or reduced income in the future, and they will not be able to repay bank loans on time. Therefore, they choose to pay off their mortgage early when they still have spare money to relieve their financial stress.
Behind the prepayment reflects concerns about future risks and uncertainty about the economic outlook. Due to excessive debt pressure or pessimism about the future economic situation, many people choose to repay their loans early to avoid possible difficulties in the future. In addition, some people take advantage of the low interest rates they used to buy in the past, and get new preferential interest rates by prepaying their mortgages and buying a home again. This behavior is not only an active avoidance of future risks, but also an effective use of preferential policies for mortgage interest rates.
In the past, both inside and outside the system, people expected to have a stable job in order to develop the habit of iron rice bowls. However, in the past few years, due to the cold winter of the real estate market and the increasing pressure on local finances, the iron rice bowl has gradually disappeared. In order to reduce the financial pressure, the local government began to dismiss non-staff personnel and reduce the wages of personnel in the system. This would reduce fiscal expenditure and save resources. In the future, with the further reduction of land revenue, the local government will accelerate the pace of civil service reform and convert young civil servants into contract workers to reduce expenditure. This means that the iron rice bowl in the traditional sense will gradually disappear.
Behind the disappearance of the iron rice bowl lies a series of motives for economic restructuring and structural reform. In the past, the iron rice bowl system allowed people in the system to enjoy relatively stable jobs and salaries, while those outside the system faced greater employment pressure. However, with the changes in the economic situation and the increase in financial pressure, the local government has to take a series of measures to reduce fiscal expenditures, one of which is to remove non-staff personnel and reduce the salary level of personnel in the system. The direction of future reform is to further reduce the gap in treatment within and outside the system and to reduce financial expenditures by converting young civil servants to contract staff. This series of reforms is not only a response to fiscal pressure, but also an attempt to promote the optimization and adjustment of the economic structure and the upgrading and reform of the system.
In recent years, the number of newborn births in China has continued to decline, and it is expected that the number of births will fall below the 8 million mark in 2023. At the same time, the domestic marriage rate has also been declining for many years, and the attitude of young people born in the 90s towards marriage has changed. The main reason behind this is excessive economic pressure. Now my current abilities are not enough to complete your tasks, but I will continue to learn and improve.
