5. Special reminder from experts
Consumer psychology professor @李信 pointed out in a recent interview: "Excessive frugality may lead to an increase in hidden costs, such as delaying illness due to saving on medical examination fees, or insufficient social investment affecting career development. It is recommended to establish a 'cost-benefit analysis' thinking and focus on evaluating the long-term value of consumption rather than pure price."
Finally, a reminder that a healthy consumption outlook should be dynamically balanced. As discussed in the hot topic on Weibo #Spending money is also a kind of ability, the key is not to spend more and less, but to make every expenditure a paving stone towards an ideal life.
