For a long time, houses and cars have been expensive consumer goods for mainland residents. However, starting in 2023, domestic houses and cars are becoming less and less valuable.
According to the data released by the China Index Research Institute, in April this year, the average price of second-hand housing in Baicheng was 14,975 yuan / square meter, down 0.75% month-on-month, and it has fallen month-on-month for 24 consecutive months; The year-on-year decline was 5.38%.
At the same time, due to the shrinking demand in the automobile market, dozens of domestic auto brands have now seen price reduction promotions, and some car price reductions are even as high as 100,000.
The main reason for this strange phenomenon is that many middle-class families have not only experienced a decline in income or unemployment after three years of the epidemic, but also remain cautious about future income growth expectations, and in such an economic environment, their demand for buying houses and cars has weakened significantly.
Moreover, not only these two fields, some insiders have analyzed that in less than 6 years, the "most expensive" in China is not a house or a car, but will be these 4 inconspicuous things, let's learn about it together:
01.
Healthy food
At present, the food safety problem in China is worrying, and many people have suffered from various diseases because of eating unhealthy food for a long time.
Some black-hearted businessmen for the benefit of capital, in the food to add a variety of additives, believe these words, you must be familiar with: additives, talcum powder, grinding rice, brighteners, toners, bleaching powder, ripening agents, preservatives, pesticides, hormones, flavors, blending, industrial raw materials and other counterfeiting, adulteration of raw materials for food, meat, processed food, beverages, tobacco and alcohol, etc.
The use of additives in large quantities will bring great harm and pathogenicity to people.
According to statistics, the incidence rate of cancer cases in Chinese is the first in the world, and various chronic diseases remain high, such as: cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, hypertension, etc., which seriously troubles people's normal life and quality of life.
If food safety problems cannot be effectively solved, then healthy food will be the "most expensive". Judging from the current situation, food health problems mainly arise from three aspects:
1. The raw materials are deteriorated or not clean;
2. Some unscrupulous businesses use preservatives and food additives excessively;
3. The production environment of food is dirty and messy.
In short, food safety issues should be taken seriously by regulatory authorities, otherwise healthy food will increasingly become an expensive and scarce commodity.
02.
Clean water
Due to the pollution of the water intake of some waterworks, as well as the secondary pollution of the tap water by the water pipes during the transportation process. This can lead to poor quality of tap water, which is harmful to human health. As a result, more and more households are attaching great importance to the quality safety of domestic water.
At present, the solution to water security for ordinary people is to purchase tap water filtration devices, so as to filter out impurities in the water, so as to obtain cleaner water.
There are also some families who simply buy pure water to drink, which also leads to a significant increase in the demand for people's expenditure on pure water, and with the continuous increase in the demand for pure water in the future, its price will inevitably gradually rise.
03.
Clean air
In recent years, people have also paid more and more attention to air. For example, in order to purify the air, many families have purchased air purifiers.
On weekdays and holidays, in addition to young people who prefer the negative ions of botanical gardens and parks, even the elderly and children often go to these places for hiking and playing.
Including on holidays, there are more and more people hiking in the ecological parks around the town, all because of the clean air in the parks.
In addition, some cities have stipulated that fireworks are not allowed during the Spring Festival, which is also hoping that everyone can breathe clean air during the Spring Festival holiday.
In fact, one can skip one or two meals, but not without clean air. And as the urban air environment continues to be polluted, it will also be a rare pleasure to be able to breathe clean air in the next few years.

Stable work
With the end of the epidemic, no one expected that in the past two years, it will be more difficult for everyone to find a job than before, and the competition for jobs has become more stressful than ever.
On the one hand, because business is difficult to do, some companies are laying off employees and reducing salaries; On the other hand, there are tens of millions of college graduates looking for jobs every year.
In this situation, many young people are forced to lower their posture and choose to become flexible workers because they cannot find a job. For example, driving online car-hailing, running takeaways, delivering couriers, etc.
Some time ago, the World Bank's latest Global Economic Prospects report predicted that by the end of 2024, about 25% of the population of developing countries and about 40% of low-income countries will still be poorer than before the pandemic hit in 2019.
Moreover, this situation is not only aimed at ordinary people's families, but also for government agencies and institutions.
A few days ago, Minister Lan of the Ministry of Finance said in response to a reporter's question,
Moreover, the tight days of the government agencies and units are already being implemented! For example, expenses such as going abroad for business, official reception, and official vehicles, which are often referred to as "three public funds", will drop by as much as 20% in 2023 compared with 2019 (before the epidemic).
So, in recent years, it has been a very lucky thing to have a stable job, at least a salary every month to support the family and pay the mortgage.
Moreover, we also advise everyone that if you have a stable job, as long as the business does not lay off employees, you should stop thinking about starting a business or changing jobs. Having a stable job and a good income in the future is the most fortunate thing.
