I wonder if you have ever felt that money nowadays seems to be becoming less and less spendable, while making money is becoming more and more difficult. Now there are five phenomena in society that are telling us that money is becoming increasingly scarce, so everyone should make preparations early.
1. Prices are rising, wages are difficult to increase, and purchasing power is declining
It is not difficult to find that the prices of many items in life are constantly rising. Cucumbers and eggplants that used to cost a few cents a pound now cost more than 2 yuan a pound, green beans that cost a few yuan now cost 2 or 3 yuan, and sweet potatoes that cost a few cents a bunch now cost more than 1 yuan a pound at best. Clothes in shopping malls cost at least hundreds of yuan, but the salary is only 3,000 or 4,000 yuan. It is impossible for everyone to maintain the same living standard with the same money as before, so the only way is to reduce the consumption level.

2. Save, save, and save again
After several years of the epidemic, everyone has become more and more aware that having savings in hand can resist various unknown risks. Therefore, more people are frugal and put their money in banks to earn interest. If something happens, they will not be so panicked.

Third, business is not easy to do, competition is fierce, and it is even harder to make money.
It is not easy to do business big or small nowadays. The market competition is fierce and the cost is increasing year by year. Whether it is an online store or a physical store, there are not many people who can really make a lot of money.
From time to time, we see news about certain chain stores going bankrupt. Sometimes when we go to some shopping malls and supermarkets, we feel that there are more sales clerks than customers. More and more restaurants are also deserted.

4. The iron rice bowl may be broken at any time
In the past, people thought that having a stable job was like having a "iron rice bowl" and that they would never have to worry about their lives. But now, it seems that this iron rice bowl is not so iron anymore. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find a job, and even if you have a job, you may lose it at any time.

5. Young people don’t want to get married, let alone have children
Life is stressful and it is not easy to make money. With the development of society and the renewal of concepts, many young people think that "one person eats well and the whole family is not hungry" is a better and easier life, so they simply choose to give up the idea of getting married. Some married young people are overwhelmed by mortgages and car loans. It is difficult to support themselves, let alone have children.

We have to sigh that these phenomena are all caused by "lack of money". Do you feel the same way? What is your opinion? Welcome to discuss in the comment area.
