The list of high-quality authors is recognized by the world as three consumption concepts——
First, the concept of frugal consumption: in the consumption should save material wealth to the greatest extent, reduce or even eliminate waste.
2. Extravagant consumption: possession and consumption of material wealth in large quantities and without restraint to satisfy one's own needs and desires.
3. Moderate consumption concept: It does not advocate blindly saving and stingy material wealth, nor does it approve of the unrestrained consumption and abuse of material wealth.
In fact, since the beginning of 2019 before the epidemic, my consumption outlook has begun to change, and then from 2020 to this year, it is just a continuation of the change.
At the beginning of 2019, the company's business continued year by year.
Since the outbreak of the epidemic at the end of 2019, the company has neither channels for cross-border vaccines, nucleic acids, shelters, lockdown and other business fields, nor has it the ability to enter trillion-dollar tracks such as chips, AI, new energy, and the metaverse, and its business situation has continued to go all the way south.
Therefore, my concept of consumption has to quickly slide from moderation to frugality, as the encyclopedia says: maximize the saving of material wealth when consuming, reduce and eliminate waste.
Let's just say that the concept is a bit on paper, and directly compare the consumption behavior before and after the change of concept.
Just need supplies:In the past, most of them purchased in physical supermarkets and scoffed at a certain treasure; Nowadays, everyone who can shop online at the treasure is shopping online at the treasure (even if you once bought a copycat Nike, you will not give up).
Clothing, shoes and hats:In the past, I had to buy several sets every year, but this year, as of today, I only bought a hat and a pair of trousers; In the past, I basically didn't hesitate to buy a pair of Nike shoes for 1,000 yuan, but now I don't consider it if it's higher than 500 yuan a pair.
Transportation:In the past, I basically didn't take the bus or subway when I went out, rode a bicycle within 3 kilometers, and took a taxi or drove 3 kilometers away; Nowadays, the basic buses, subways, and shared bicycles are available.
Food & Beverage:In the past, when I wanted to go out to a restaurant, I first thought about what I wanted to eat; Now first open the Meituan app to see which restaurant has the most discounts.
Fitness Exercise:I used to play badminton once a week, or swim a few times; Nowadays, there is a free pull-up exercise in the office every weekday.
Tourist Vacation:In the past, except for holidays, there was basically no time to travel and vacation; Nowadays, the company's business is sluggish, and there are many opportunities for tourism and vacation, but fortunately, you can travel at a staggered peak, not only with fewer people, but also with various discounts from scenic spots, and the accommodation ** is not a little lower than that.
After Tea:In the past, Krypton fought the national war, and it was still on the trumpet in the middle of the night; Now that I have nothing to do, I will go to hundreds of accounts, Zhihu, complain and spit out bitterness, and by the way, see if there is a chance to rub into the hot spot to earn some salt and add a chicken leg to myself.
Class reunion:In the past, I had to get together at least once a month to drink tea, play mahjong, fight landlords, check in Internet celebrity food, and everyone took turns to send red envelopes in the WeChat group during the Spring Festival; Now I haven't gotten together for a few months, and as for this Spring Festival, there are still a lot of people in the group, but none of them send red envelopes.
The above has shifted from a moderate consumption concept to a frugal consumption concept, which is the change in my consumption outlook over the years.
