More than a year after the end of the epidemic, we have not seen the long-awaited revenge consumption, employment, and buying a house until today, and the three major areas are now more difficult than before.
Regarding consumption, if you look closely at the people around you, you can find that everyone is much more low-key now, mobile phones can be used, clothes can be worn, luxury goods can not be bought, even if household appliances are changed, they can be repaired...
People seem to be better at living than before, but this situation clearly does not bode well, and from the country's point of view, the contraction in consumption will only make the already sluggish market even colder.
In recent years, there is a word that has always been mentioned, that is, the social phenomenon of "low desire", people do not buy houses, do not invest, do not spend money, do not want to have babies... It seems that these have become the norm for more and more young people.
However, if people have low desires, it will bring a certain bitter fruit, such as neighboring Japan, which has already tasted it before us.
From the "Lost Decade" to the "Lost Twenty Years", Japan's economy stopped expanding, consumption began to shrink, and gradually entered a vicious circle.
Low Desire – Economic Sluggishness – Fewer Births, Rising Aging – More Sluggish Economy – Lower Desire Society......
We must not repeat the mistakes of the past, and the key to fighting all of this is to make the economy more dynamic and give confidence to the public.
Consumption, as an important driving force of the economy, must be activated. So in the past few years, bankers have been cutting interest rates to promote everyone's consumption, including the official media Securities Times, which has also called on everyone to spend money quickly. Because ordinary people don't spend money, there is no way for the economy to recover quickly.
For this phenomenon in front of us, in fact, entrepreneur Ma Yun has long predicted, and also gave a few pieces of advice, if nothing else, the next few months will usher in "big changes", early understanding and early preparation.
.01
It is common for college students to find employment
Looking back on the past few years, there are more and more new college graduates every year, and now it will soon usher in a new year's graduation season, and this year's graduates are more than in previous years, and it is expected that 11.79 million college students will graduate this year, a record high.
However, on the other hand, after three years of the epidemic, enterprises have been affected to varying degrees and have not fully recovered, so in order to maintain normal operations, they have to cut salaries and lay off employees, and the demand for recruitment has also dropped sharply.
Under the increase and decrease, it is enough to see the "difficulty" of workers, so the competition is so fierce, the best way to deal with it is not to toss, do not think about quitting, changing jobs, starting a business, and wait until the economy is stable, and then look for opportunities.

The property market continues to be sluggish
This year's Xiaoyangchun is completely out of appointment, and I have hardly heard of any real estate transaction volume increasing, not only that, but after entering 2024, there has been a surge in the number of listings in the second-hand housing market around the country. In order to make a quick transaction, there are more and more news about selling houses at 7% off and selling at half price in the circle of friends. It can be seen that during the downturn, the so-called Xiaoyangchun does not exist.
Therefore, Ma Yun also suggested that everyone should not speculate in real estate, and it is unlikely that housing prices will rise, but there is a lot of room for decline.
.03
Entrepreneurship is becoming more and more risky
Many people only focus on the cost of starting a business and geographical location, but ignore the consumer demand, that is, income.
To put it bluntly, everyone's income has not grown, or the vast majority of people have no money in their pockets, and their income has declined, so in this case, everyone's consumption power will inevitably decrease, and now everyone is becoming more and more rational about consumption.
Ma Yun said that now everyone is more and more refined in the allocation of deposits in hand, the impulsive consumption in the past does not exist, and at the same time, the risk of entrepreneurship is greater, the competition among peers is fierce, and the rent of shops and office buildings has risen.
.04
Everyone is more health-conscious
Compared with everything, health comes first, without a healthy body, everything is empty talk, so no matter what age group people are, they should improve their body's immunity from diet and lifestyle habits.
