- Under the impact of the epidemic in recent years, many people's lifestyles have changed a lot, and the same is true for consumption. 2022 my consumption has become less, I am a sophomore, here is a specific look at it ~

-? On-campus spending

When school started in the spring of 2022, our school stayed closed so we had to live and spend money on campus, it's a known fact that school spending tends to be a lot cheaper than outside, and we can't order takeout at our school so I ate in the school's cafeteria for the semester. Fortunately, our cafeteria meals are delicious, varied, and cheap, and this year a new cafeteria was opened, although slightly more expensive, but within the range of acceptance of our students, inside the school there are special milk tea store, fruit store, and a few large supermarkets, next to the McDonald's, nail salon, express delivery point, and can be said to have everything. I've gone from spending 2,000 RMB a month on school trips and dinners to spending 1,000 RMB a month at school now. It's clear to see that spending has become less.

-? Epidemic Change Spending

In April 21 - May 23, 2022, my spending was zero. The reason is that there is an epidemic in our school, at first it was found three positive, the students were sealed dormitory and not allowed to come out, teachers as well as volunteers gave us food and water every day, and did nucleic acid every day. After seven days, perhaps our dormitory's luck was too good, our dormitory was sent by ambulance to the quarantine point outside the school overnight. We were isolated in a single room in the isolation point for 23 days, and every day the medical staff delivered meals and nucleic acids on time. I thought there would be a charge for meals, but both the school and the quarantine point were free, so I didn't spend a dime during this time.

-Reasons for the change in consumption

-? Epidemics

Epidemics have arguably been the most significant cause of changes in spending patterns over the years. Because of the epidemic, some people have faced the end of their business before it even started; because of the epidemic, we had to work from home, adhering to the principle of not going out, less go out of the house life, in some cases, may be in the normal work one day, the next day to face the quarantine, the closure of the city. Because of the epidemic, everyone stopped walking, less going out, less gathering in our ears, consumption became less.

The public's concept of consumption from the traditional purchase and sale of consumption to the current "rent life" consumption. "Rent life" is "rent - use - return", just like the current ****! We are a new generation of young people who live in a more scientific and useful way, and we have to say that we are getting smarter, and in this world, living in the present, hedonism is more suitable for us.

--Finally, even if we consume less and change the way we consume, living a happier life is our goal. To be contented and happy with what we have, and to live each day to the fullest.
