What is the most expensive in today's society? Perhaps the vast majority of people think that "house, car and bride price", after all, this is a basic guarantee for entering the society, and they are also raising prices all the time, making many people out of reach.
However, today is different, and within five years, the "most expensive" is no longer these things, but these four things that are the most inconspicuous in people's eyes.
Purified water
Water is the source of life, and even Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" said: "Good is like water, and water benefits all things without fighting." ”
From this sentence, you can see how important water is to everything in the world, of course, having said that, many people may think that water is not worth anything at all, after all, it is always around.
If you look at it from a personal point of view, because you see it every day, you will naturally take water for granted in your consciousness, and you will begin to ignore its value.
In fact, water is not only "valuable", but also very rare, why do you say that?
In the past, when material resources were scarce, water was naturally more precious, because it was not only used for farming, but also for the life of every family.
It is worth mentioning that at that time, people used well water, and they all said that the well water was pure and sweet, but for the older generation, they did not think so, not only bitter but also a lot of impurities.
Therefore, drinking too much well water also paves the way for future diseases, and this does not include people who live in the mountains, who may rely on the springs in the mountains.
But no matter which one it is, it is still harmful to people's health, and later, with the reform and opening up, people's living standards have improved, and the problem of water sources has also been improved.
On the basis of well water, there is a device on the market that can filter well water, also called "water purifier".
With this equipment, people can reduce the harm to the body in the process of drinking water, this water is also known as "tap water", and the emergence of tap water does bring convenience to people's lives.
However, there are pros and cons, and there are many disadvantages to tap water when it is used, such as the aging of water pipes, resulting in a large number of impurities that cannot be filtered out.
The water source that already had impurities was polluted again, which is equivalent to "secondary pollution", and since there is a problem, it must be solved, and in this case, pure water appears.
Until now, the vast majority of people drink pure water, which as the name suggests, is water processed by factories without any additives, which has also led to the sale of pure water and related equipment in the market.
Compared with tap water, purified water provides more protection for people's health, but there are also certain problems, such as the mineral elements needed by the human body, pure water cannot be provided, and on the contrary, there is no such mineral elements to affect health.
But even so, there is still pure water sold in the market today, and if you look at it from a global perspective, the use of water will only become less and less, and coupled with environmental pollution, the amount of water available can be reduced by more than half.
As the saying goes, "scarcity is expensive", I believe many people have found that the price of water is also rising, and I believe that it will continue to increase in the next five years.
Healthy food
If water is a necessity for people's lives, the same is true when it comes to food.
When it comes to food, this can't help but raise the question, what is "healthy food"? Some people will say that clean and hygienic food is healthy food, and some people think that what is nutritious to the human body is healthy food, such as meat food.
Although everyone's definition of healthy food is not very complete, it is not unreasonable.
However, there are many types and styles of food today, but there are still too many problems.
You know, in the last century, the overall price was very low, but it was relatively expensive for people at that time, and the price of vegetables may cost a few cents a catty.
It's cheap now, but people at the time thought it wasn't expensive or cheap, and although it was controversial about the price, there was no discussion about the quality, and it was all good.
If you get it now, some people may think that this is the real "health food", but the times are advancing, how can food remain the same.
Nowadays, whether it is in a restaurant or a wet market, there are many kinds of food, and the prices are high and low, so people can choose the food they want according to their wishes.
But don't forget that the variety is raised, but the quality is not guaranteed, and today's meat food is divided into many types, such as frozen and ready-made.
Either way, there will be certain safety risks when buying, after all, today's businessmen do not compromise on profits, and because of this, the quality cannot be guaranteed.
Once you buy meat products that are of poor quality or rotten, this will lead to various diseases in the human body and endanger health.
The same is true for vegetables, which did not have any additives and preservatives in the past, which makes a lot of insects, so that the yield is not very high in transportation or cultivation.
Later, through ingredients and various additives, the quality of vegetable damage was reduced a lot, but it also made green vegetables no longer "green", and at the same time, there will be some businesses selling without any additives on the surface, but in fact they are not implemented in accordance with the regulations.
This makes some vegetables have many hidden food hazards, which indirectly endanger people's health.
In short, people will pay more attention to food safety issues while improving their level, so it is believed that in the future, the price of healthy food may become "precious" in people's mouths.
Stable work
The first step for people to enter society is to find a stable job, and only then can they secure their future life.
It can be said that work and life are closely linked and inseparable.
Since you want to find a job, it must be linked to academic qualifications, whether it was before or now, "academic qualifications are a stepping stone", and without academic qualifications, you can only become unemployed.
Of course, there are many people who may disagree, after all, people like Ma Yun and others have succeeded in starting a business even if they do not have a high degree of education, but don't forget that there are only a few such people, and for the vast majority of people, entrepreneurship is still relatively impossible.
First, the risk is relatively high, and secondly, it requires a lot of money and money, which is a big problem.
Because of this, every parent hopes that their children can learn and find a good job, and they should put it in the past, maybe this idea will definitely come true, and the future is that the child is more hard-working.
Children can choose a good university through excellent grades and find a stable job life, which is not only related to the child's future, but also the wish of every parent.
But now it seems that this concept has been broken by people in society, and "hard work does not necessarily succeed" seems to have become synonymous with this era, why do you say that?
Now is not as good as in the past, whether it is in the university or the employment rate, the number of people has increased, resulting in huge competitive pressure, even if you are admitted to university, you will face employment problems in the future.
According to 2024 statistics, the "unemployment rate" is 14% in their 24s on average, and it will continue to rise.
This means that it will only become more and more difficult to find a stable job in the future, and of course the same is true for civil service and graduate school entrance examinations.
At the same time, even if you get a good job, you may face layoffs, after all, there is no guarantee that there will be no better people than you in the future.
For companies, only people who provide more profits and benefits to the company will be valued, but this kind of people are very rare, and because of this, the company continues to recruit talent from outside every year, which leads to the risk of layoffs for some people within the company.
If this is the case, the probability of a stable job will decrease again, so finding a stable job will gradually become the most "expensive" thing in people's mouths.
fresh air
Environmental protection is an issue that every country attaches great importance to in the international community.
The most serious of these is air pollution, which refers to the presence of substances in the air in a certain concentration, which can affect the environment and the human body.
However, air pollution is divided into many similar types, such as industrial exhaust gases, vehicle exhaust gases, etc.
But this is also an unavoidable thing, unlike before, because the economy is underdeveloped, so that there are many trees, and the air quality is naturally very fresh.
After all, society is progressing, the times are developing, because it is necessary to develop the national economy, it is necessary to build factories to manufacture goods, and in this case, the exhaust gases emitted from industry will be put into the air.
Although there are certain industrial standards and measures taken, the number of factories is increasing, and the air content index is constantly increasing.
In addition to industrial exhaust, the increase in vehicles is also a major reason, especially today's fuel vehicles, despite the new energy, fuel vehicles are still in the main position.
It is precisely in this way that the exhaust gas is more serious, and although there is a strong support for the green environment, fresh air has become the most precious "object" for people in the city.
So why is it said that cars and houses may not be the most expensive in the next five years?
Nowadays, a house costs thousands of dollars per ordinary meter, and it costs more than 100,000 yuan all day long, and the most expensive house also costs more than 1 million, which is impossible for many people to buy.
According to this model, it will become more and more difficult to buy a house, and the concept of "only rising" in the market will be broken. No one buys it, which damages the interests of real estate developers, and in this case, the house cannot be sold, and it is likely to fall.
This is not without basis, according to the end of 2023, according to the data, housing prices in some areas have fallen again and again, especially second-hand houses, which are much lower than the previous year.
In terms of vehicles, according to statistics, starting in 2024, dozens of domestic cars have begun to reduce prices and even put discounts, including new energy.
Author's point of view
To sum up, the reason why this phenomenon can become is mainly because of the basis for new things to replace old things, once there are new things, merchants in order to avoid not being able to sell, old things will definitely drop in price, which is a trend.
