2025年，普通人最直观的感受不是科技飞跃，而是钱包越来越瘪。央行M2突破304.8万亿的数字背后，是工资涨不动、开销飙升的生存现实。缺钱，正在从 个别困境演变为全民状态。以下5个变化，或许你已深有体会。 二手手机、家电、家具、奢侈品甚至临期商品，正在成为新宠。半价体验同款功能、平台交易透明安全、买卖双方选择增多，二手从"过渡品"升级为生活方 式。95后群体中，60%曾购买二手商品，30%定期出售闲置物品。二手市场的火爆，本质是消费者对"性价比"的极致追求：花最少的钱，满足最多需求。 这些变化看似是消费降级，实则是生活逻辑的重构。我们越来越像父母那一代：能省则省、能修则修、不盲目追新。但这不是倒退，而是在高成本环境中重 新定义"钱"的价值——不依赖消费获得幸福感，而是追求实用与安心。 真正危险的不是缺钱，而是活在消费主义的幻觉里：用贵价商品包装自己，用透支未来满足当下。缺钱时代，是提醒我们放下虚荣，回归理性。 线下商场沦为"拍照打卡地"，真正下单的主战场转移到电商平台、直播间和社区团购。一件外套线上比线下便宜200元，理发、修车甚至买菜都能通过APP 找到低价选项。消费者不再为"便捷"买单，而是为"省钱"精打 ...

来源：滚动播报 美国人更精打细算？ 11月28日，一年一度的"黑色星期五"又将到来，美国假日购物季也将随之开启。 "黑五"是每年感恩节之后的星期五，通常是打折力度最大的一天，相当于美版"双十一"。近年来随着网 购兴起，"网络星期一"也应运而生，将这场购物狂欢再度延长。 据美国零售联合会预测，感恩节到"网一"的五天期间，美国线上和线下购物人数预计将达到1.869亿 人，创下历史新高。 然而，数据也显示，从"黑五"到年末圣诞季的销售增长预计将放缓，11月和12月的销售额将首次突破1 万亿美元大关，增幅介于3.7%至4.2%，但低于去年4.8%的增长速度。通常而言，每年 11 月和 12 月的 销售额占美国零售商全年利润的三分之一。 （来源：上观新闻） 美国假日购物季已拉开帷幕，但在关税阴影笼罩、高物价压力持续、就业市场降温的影响下，美国经 济"寒意"难消。不仅商家的折扣力度不如以往，更多美国消费者也开始转向"消费降级"。 分析人士认为，美国民众对经济不稳定持有中长期预期，或让"黑色星期五"和随之而来的购物季遇冷。 为什么今年美国假日购物季销售增长可能放缓？一方面原因是，折扣力度变小了。尽管特朗普政府宣 称"物价大 ...

01 今年，无论是身边亲友，还是后台留言读者，问房子的人，又多了起来。 而他们问的小区，除了几个在售商品房，还包括源盛嘉园、锦延家园、麓雅苑、麓颂苑、金韵华庭、南 丽湾、滨月轩、山前华庭、誉品华庭、聚悦江庭、望悦江庭、富悦江庭…… 是不是觉得，这些小区名称都很陌生？它们到底在哪里呢？ 没错，它们都是近两年交付的安置房，无论地段还是品质都还可以，甚至很不错，看起来不输普通商品 房。 更关键的问题在于，安置房普遍存在物业管理弱、生活习惯差异、熟人社会等一系列问题，导致今后小 区的管理、维护不佳，严重影响居住体验。 也就是说，不管交付初期品质多高，只要是安置房，这品质就很难维持得住，甚至加速衰败，从而在各 方面都与同期商品房拉开巨大差距。 但即便如此，如今反而还是有不少购房者，涌向这些安置房。问这些安置房的购房者，已经不仅限于刚 需了，还出现普通改善购房者。 而那些在售商品房，只要不是"四代宅"，哪怕建成交付了，也普遍没那么好卖，甚至很难卖。 可以看出，现在市场上不是没人买房，而是被安置房分流了太多的购房者。 02 既然安置房几乎在各方面都明显不如商品房，为什么还是有那么多购房者涌向安置房？ 关键在于价格！ 如今， ...
