In the next 3 years: save more money, less internal consumption, don't lose your job

Author:Ten o'clock reading Time:2022.09.15

I do n’t know when we have been used to plan and decide before we have accustomed to adding one sentence, "after the epidemic must be after the epidemic."

Behind this sentence is hidden our inside expectations, and there is also deep helplessness.

According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, the national unemployment rate of cities and towns in April this year rose to 6.1 %, and in July of the graduation season, the unemployment rate of young people in urban and towns in the age of 16-24 was 19.9 %.

When these specific numbers appear by us, it shows--

Some people have begun to be "minimalist" due to the pressure of life. Some people have closed the small shops, and some have given up their plans for studying abroad and postponing weddings. Some people have a new view of life and future.

Today we want to take everyone to see the epidemic, four kinds of life that changes at the crossroads.

They are individual echoes in the times, and you are you.

I finally live a minimalist life

Not because you like it, but have no money

@, 42 years old, supermarket cashier

I am an ordinary cashier who works in a chain in the urban area and occasionally responsible for organizing shelves.

A few years ago, the store has been recruiting zero work, but since the end of last year, it has rarely recruited people.

Not only that, several colleagues around me were fired for various reasons at the beginning of the year. They were late and prematurely went out early and made mistakes. In the past, the manager would only remind "the next time", but did not expect to dismiss directly.

We all know in our hearts that this is just an excuse. The truth is downturn. The supermarket cannot leave so many people.

The manager knew that I was still for my son to go to college. I did n’t find me several times to dismiss the conversation. I was grateful, but every time I saw him, I was still embarrassed.

Because the work is not stable, in the past two years, our two have always tightened their trousers.

I often see that some people say that they want to live a "disconnection" life. Now I have also lived this kind of unknown day, but it is not pursuing that lifestyle, but because there is no money.

Money will be tuned for your son, 6,000 yuan per semester.

The son is also very independent. He will get scholarships in the school. The living expenses also say that we will find a way ourselves.

We used to go shopping in underground malls every month before, and this year we basically wear last year's clothes.

In the past, online shopping will also buy some skin care products and small gadgets. Now most of them are hanging noodles and frozen frozen. I am afraid that I will be separated and stored a lot of mustard.

Two meals a day, take two days in two days, can take 40 days of medicine for 10 days.

I feel that a lot of things have risen in the supermarket, but the salary has not changed, and I find that I can't afford it when I buy a lot of things.

This summer, the ice cream was not willing to eat.

I bought four peaches, a banana, and two apples two days ago.

I used to think that a meal of 20 yuan was very expensive, but I could only eat the most common box lunch in 20 yuan in large cities. I was just full.

In fact, it is not difficult to live just.

If you want to save it, the supermarket special dishes are paired with eggs and noodles, and 5 yuan a day will not be spent.

However, I still hope that the epidemic will improve quickly, so that life can change from to living to truly life.

Back to the days of working overtime on holidays, return to the salary on time, do not worry about the days of unemployment.

Nowadays, the happiest moment of each month is when you are on the weekend and his son. Watching him study hard and be healthy, you will feel a little hope and comfort.

If the epidemic has improved in the future, and the family can take time to blow and take a walk, it is a better thing.

Each month's salary,

7. Chengdu will be stored.

@, 26 years old, film and television announced

When I first graduated, I was basically moonlight every month, but since the epidemic, Carry has no longer dare not have money.

Special reality.

There was an example of the community I rented in the previous year. It was temporarily closed and controlled. The surrounding supermarkets were empty.

Eat and daily necessities need to be bought, but there is not much deposit at that time, and there is no money to store more goods.

Later, I calculated that if there is always no money in my pocket, let alone the community being blocked.

Can I afford the rent next month?

Can I eat meals and can afford Coca -Cola?

If you are cut, what do I expect to live during the time of finding a job?

After I want to understand, I started to live carefully.

The most obvious manifestation of consideration is the downgrade of consumption.

I used to use a dozen dollars of masks, but now I do n’t need it. I go to bed early and get up and exercise more. The skin is okay.

I used to go to the supermarket to buy Qingwang grapes, but later I found that Jifeng is cheap and delicious.

It is often changed to cooking at home, which is not only healthy, but also the effect of weight loss.

If you can buy clothes, you do n’t buy it. Two pairs of sports shoes are enough. Two sets of home clothes are enough to wear.

Many things that I used to be standard before, now I feel like I do n’t buy it: the life seems to have passed.

Slowly, life has become simple and rich, and the most money -saving lifestyle is: weight loss, exercise, and reading.

I can't spend much money, and it also makes life particularly healthy.

Here I recommend that all friends who have just graduated have learned to save money and how much are you tube. This is your capital to resist risks.

There is money in the pocket, and I have confidence in my heart. This sentence really does not mean playing.

After being layoff,

Housing loan became my heart hate.

@, 35 years old, project manager

The decision to make the last regret in this life is to buy a house during the epidemic. At that time, I did n’t listen to persuasion. I wanted to have a small home in a big city, and I bought a house with the money I have worked for more than ten years.

The down payment is 600,000, the loan is 1.4 million, and the monthly monthly supply is more than 7,000.

My house was not bad, but after living in a new house, I was not as happy as I thought.

The most direct change is that there is no deposit after buying the house.

Just after paying the down payment, the house was decorated when it came down. I dare not consume, dare not get sick, and consider whether it is worth it.

When I bought a house, there were many supporting facilities near the new home, but it was not built now, but the restaurant had closed one after another because of the epidemic.

The sense of security in big cities is one point because of the house, but when you see a monthly supply bill every month, when you walk the empty street near the new home, the kind of wandering feeling is still there.

The most worried is that in March of this year, the company's benefits were not good, our entire business line was cut off, and I was also layoffs.

It is difficult for job hunting, there are very few appropriate positions, and many of them have to cut salary.

At that time, the whole person was harsh, and he did not dare to tell his parents about unemployment, and did not want to share negative energy with friends. For what he did not know about tomorrow, what was unchanged is the loan repayment information received on time every month.

The only thing I am now fortunate is that I have not got married at the age of 35 and has no children.

Later, it was supported until June this year. In order to alleviate the pressure of mortgages, this company has come to this company.

Although there are still a lot of confusion about the future, let's support it first.

After all, there can be new ways to keep in place, right?

Life is only once,

How can you be delayed by the epidemic.

@vivi, 27 years old, the media industry

In the past few years, each of us has felt the impermanence of life, and we have also felt the taste of being scheduled.

After graduating, I thought of studying abroad and did not go.

Later, I wanted to go to Shanghai for an internship, because the epidemic suddenly wasolated and missed the two favorite interviews.

Later, Xiaoyou asked for meals with friends, returned to his hometown in the New Year, was so large that he resigned and changed jobs. In the future, he was changing every day in life.

His younger brother was in college. He said that he had been in college for three years and closed for three years.

Frankly speaking, I often have a helplessness in my heart, and a helplessness of life out of control.

One day I was lying in bed, can I only live like this in my life?

I found that it was not.

In the past few years, although there are a lot of time, if you look at it, you will see the lives of many people and have not been limited by the epidemic.

Those who are good at learning have read a lot of books during the epidemic, and they use online learning resources to satisfy their curiosity.

Those who love to play, such as working in Beijing, will go to Beijing to play even if they cannot travel in Beijing.

For those who run around, like me, they have been fired by the company and desperate, but this summer, I learned to make small seafood to go to the night market to do business, and I also made a lot of money.

In short, live first, and then live happily.

And in the past few years, the epidemic has also made me see through the essence of many society.

Seeing the meaning of most consumer activities, transferring attention from material to the inner world, focusing on the core and basic needs of your own.

Seeing that many life KPIs have put pressure on themselves. If you can focus on your happiness and perception, you will not easily follow the wave.

After thinking this way, I started to insist on learning English and programming. I improved a little bit a little every day after work. Micro -habitation brought a positive cycle to my life, and exercise reading also put on the agenda.

Everyone's life has to go through several big waves. What we have to do is not to be knocked down by the wind and waves.

Leave the mountains, don't worry about the firewood, what is said is the truth.

In the past few years,
