According to news on July 25, recently, the equipment purchased by prospective freshmen before the start of school has aroused heated discussions among netizens. Electronic equipment costs tens of thousands of yuan, cosmetics and skin care products cost thousands of yuan, etc., making parents increasingly overwhelmed. On social platforms, the topic "Preliminary freshman bills" has sparked heated discussions. One netizen posted consumption expenditures after the college entrance examination, which showed that a computer costs 4,500 yuan, a mobile phone costs 6,000 yuan, and a series of consumer expenditures such as a driver's license, travel, shopping, skin care, etc., totaling 40,000 yuan.
Regarding the above situation, some families require their children to spend a fixed amount, allowing them to consider carefully and make their own choices; some parents openly share the family's financial situation so that their children can understand their own financial situation and spending priorities, and share responsibilities.
Some students choose to work part-time during the summer and use their labor remuneration to support their consumer desires. In this way, in the practice of consumption again and again, "quasi-college students" can have personal experience and understand what should be bought, what should not be bought, and how to buy it properly.
Some experts bluntly said that these students are demanding more and more complete configurations and higher and higher grades, and there is also a looming trend of mutual comparison and extravagant consumption.
How to reasonably plan one's study and life, and manage consumption and finance scientifically and rationally are also survival skills that a person must acquire. "Getting what you see" and "buying what you want" will not only keep them "childish", but may also distort their outlook on consumption, values and even their outlook on life.
