Young man, why do you always value salary?

There is a saying in society and some social networks - young people nowadays pay more and more attention to money, and they only focus on money when doing work. Many HR recruiters complain that it is difficult to recruit freshly graduated college students and the salary levels they require are too high. Many company bosses also complain that young people nowadays are impetuous at work and demand a salary increase every two years or else they will leave. In fact, today's young people are indeed paying more and more attention to money, but there are many reasons.

Every age group has something that every age group pays attention to. The 50s and 60s now focus on health, the 70s and 80s now focus on family education, and the 90s and 00s now focus on money. What everyone focuses on is what they hope to have and what they hope to get after a period of hard work. In today's society, the pressure for survival is increasing, and money is indispensable for food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Especially when money ability and consumption power do not match, the desire for money will become more and more intense. Young people pay attention to money, and there are various reasons behind it.

The first is young people’s career outlook. The relationship between job seekers and companies is inherently equal. The company requires job seekers to meet conditions such as academic qualifications, work experience, etc. Job seekers can also ask for salary and remuneration conditions from the company. It is a relationship of mutual benefit, equality and justice. Employees should be compensated accordingly for their hard work. This is understandable and completely reasonable. Today's young people's career outlook is to be close to reality and to be rewarded according to their abilities.

Secondly, the cost of living for young people has increased. Society is getting more and more progressive. A young man walks out of his county town and into a prosperous big city and gets a high-paying job. However, the cost of living in a big city is beyond the young man's expectation. Finding a satisfactory residence requires I spent a quarter of my salary, plus transportation expenses, water and electricity bills, food expenses, etc. I had saved some money after a month of hard work, but a serious illness wiped out all my savings. This is what happens to young people in many big cities. There are also many young people who are burdened with huge pressure from decades of mortgage and car loans. If the salary for one month is lower than expected, the economy may collapse. There was no other way, just surviving took a lot of effort.

Finally, young people yearn for a high-quality life. Not only young people, but everyone yearns for a high-quality life. A happy family and a prosperous life are what everyone desires. Without money, a lot can be lost. Couples who are about to get married, parents who are old and in poor health, and children who are waiting to be fed, no one has the heart to say goodbye to these people. Buying new clothes for your wife, enrolling your children in a tutoring class, giving your parents more company, paying attention to money is actually paying attention to the quality of life.

In this information-rich and materialistic society, young people now realize the importance of money earlier than ever before. However, they can pay attention to money, but they cannot get caught up in it. They must make money through normal and legal means. A gentleman loves money, acquires it in a proper way, regards it with moderation, and uses it with restraint.
