[global times comprehensive report] according to a report on the us cnbc website on the 23rd, many contemporary american young people are lost in "doomsday consumption", that is, they relieve their negative emotions through indiscriminate high consumption, such as traveling everywhere and buying luxury goods.

experts say that these young people are addicted to the internet and are influenced by the negative information that is flooding the internet. they are easily trapped in "doomsday consumption" activities to seek a false sense of dominance and gain short-term spiritual comfort. a survey in november last year showed that 96% of americans are worried about the current economic situation, and more than a quarter of americans have relieved stress through "doomsday consumption". some young people said that housing prices are too high to afford, and there is no point in saving the money on hand, so they might as well spend it; some young people said that after comparing their lives with others, they feel unhappy, so they spend money lavishly to imitate others.

experts say that "doomsday consumption" not only fails to alleviate negative emotions, but also overdraws the future. experts also suggest that young people who are lost in "doomsday consumption" should make the consumption process more complicated and create purchase and payment barriers. for example, set a rule for yourself not to shop online, and even if you see something on your phone, you must go to a physical store to buy it; you can even set a rule for yourself to only use cash.
