  Recently, a freshman girl’s help post became popular on the Internet. She hoped that her mother would give her a monthly living allowance of 4,500 yuan, but she was rejected. She felt wronged and thought that the living expenses of 2000 yuan a month were simply not enough.

  Now it is the beginning of the school season, and living expenses have become an unavoidable topic. For college students, what is their monthly living expenses? As parents of students, how do they view the living expenses? How much money can they accept for their children a month at most? To this end, Chengdu Business Daily-Red Star journalists visited some college students and parents in Chengdu.

  The student said

  Living expenses are generally 1500~2000 yuan, and 3000 yuan for individual students is still not enough.

  According to the reporter’s interview, the living expenses of most college students are 1500~2000 yuan, a few are 1000~1500 yuan, and individual students are more than 3000 yuan. Sun Mengmeng of Sichuan University has a living allowance of 2,000 yuan a month. "It’s basically enough, usually eating and buying daily necessities, clothes and the like."

  Long Peng of Southwest University for Nationalities lives on 1,200 yuan a month. He said, "It still needs to be saved a little." In order to subsidize the living expenses, he will make money from street performances from time to time. "I play guitar myself. When I don’t have enough money, I will go out to sing. Generally, I can earn more than 1,000 yuan a month."

  A classmate of Sichuan University who asked not to be named told reporters that his living expenses of 3,000 yuan a month were not enough. "Besides eating, there will be some entertainment activities, and 3,000 yuan is not enough at all."

  According to the "2019 College Students’ Consumption Report" released by digging for money, the cities where the average monthly living expenses of college students exceed 2,000 yuan are Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou, and the average living expenses of college students in Chengdu are 1,900 yuan.

  Is there a difference in consumption between men and women?

  Boys say they buy game equipment for 1,000 yuan a month.

  In the public’s impression, boys save more money, but the fact is just the opposite. According to the above report, according to national statistics, the average monthly living consumption of most boys is higher than that of girls, reaching 1,600 yuan, while girls are more diligent and diligent at 1,200 yuan.

  The data shows that digital 3C, which boys prefer, accounts for the vast majority of shopping expenses, in addition to game expenses.

  Wu, a student studying at Sichuan Vocational College of Finance and Economics, told the reporter that with his living expenses of 2,000 yuan a month, he would take out 1000 yuan to buy game equipment. "100 yuan can get a game skin once, and even if he smokes it for 10 times, he can get it for free, so I usually buy it directly for 10 times."

  Luo Yu in sichuan huaxin modern vocational college, most of the living expenses of 2,000 yuan a month will be used to buy clothes. "Sometimes I will work part-time as a model and earn some pocket money."

  Han Liu of Chengdu University is the president of the school Hanfu Society. Buying Hanfu is a big expense of his living expenses. "Some members of the society have a wardrobe of Hanfu, worth nearly 10,000 yuan."

  According to the report, shopping only accounts for the third place of college students’ living expenses, and the top two are catering and social interaction, among which social interaction accounts for 21% of college students’ living expenses.

  Parents said

  If the son is in love,

  Will give a little more as a "love fund"

  Living expenses 600 yuan "has no choice but to save"

  Mr. Li, from Dazhou, Sichuan, whose daughter was admitted to Sichuan Vocational and Technical College of Posts and Telecommunications this year, intends to give 600 yuan/month’s living expenses to her newly enrolled children. "There is nothing to do but save." Mr. Li works on the construction site and earns more than 3,000 yuan a month, and this income has to maintain all the expenses of the family. "Other people’s children are more than 1,000 yuan a month, and our family’s living expenses are several hundred yuan a month. I can only squeeze out so much for my daughter."

  For some students who think that the living expenses of 3,000 yuan and 4,000 yuan are still not enough, Mr. Li said that those with good family conditions can give more, and those with poor family conditions can give less. "But to be honest, the living expenses of more than 4,000 yuan are still too spoiled for dolls."

  Mr. Gu, who is also doing odd jobs on the construction site to make money, chose to give his son 1000 yuan living expenses. Mr. Gu’s son is a freshman in Sichuan Culture and Media Vocational College. Mr. Gu usually does odd jobs on the construction site and earns 4,000 yuan a month. Before sending his son to college, he repeatedly told him not to play games. "It’s not easy to make money. They use it with a few clicks of the mouse, which is too wasteful."

  Living expenses are 1500 yuan

  "Generally, it will not be added unless you are in love."

  Li Xiuyan runs a luggage shop in Chengdu, and her son is studying in Jincheng College of Sichuan University. Before sending his son to college, Li Xiuyan roughly estimated that the living expenses of 1,500 yuan a month are enough. "If you eat the canteen, you will be around 30 yuan every day, and you can save some money to go out with friends to eat something good and have a rare tooth." Li Xiuyan said that even if the son is not enough, it will not be added. "If the doll is not enough, it will give money and develop bad consumption habits."

  However, Li Xiuyan told the Chengdu Business Daily-Red Star journalist that in a special case, she would give her son more money. "If my son falls in love, he will give him more money as ‘ Love fund ’ 。” Li Xiuyan said that his son’s girlfriend goes to college in Chongqing, and he often goes to Chongqing to see his girlfriend, "train fare, meals, money for going out to play … … These add up to a lot, so we will give him more living expenses when he goes to Chongqing. " Having said that, Li Xiuyan laughed. "This is a necessary expense, and parents must support it."

  Ms. Xu’s daughter is a graduate student at Sichuan University, and her monthly living expenses are 1,500 yuan. "I have learned about my daughter’s usual living standards, and it is completely enough to give 1,500 yuan." Ms. Xu said that her daughter’s consumption is rational, and she usually has hobbies such as idolize and playing games, but they are restrained, so she is also very relieved about her daughter’s consumption. "But there are some special circumstances that will still give more money. For example, once my daughter is sick, it will increase 1000 yuan’s living expenses."

  Living expenses are more than 2500 yuan

  "Large expenses need justified reasons"

  "If it is a reasonable expense, I will support him." Ms. Xiao, an employee of a state-owned enterprise, whose child is studying at Southwest Jiaotong University, gives her 2,500 yuan of living expenses every month. "This is relatively high in the class." Ms. Xiao said that every expense of the child will tell her, and she will directly stop unreasonable expenses, but if there are some reasonable extra expenses, she will also give support. "But it is also clear to the child that his monthly living expenses cannot exceed half of his income, and he still has to do what he can."

  Ms. Xiao also has her own opinion on the living expenses of 4,500 yuan, which is hotly discussed on the Internet: "The living expenses of 4,500 yuan need to be explained whether there are justified reasons. If it is normal expenses, then families with conditions can support it."

  Tamia Liu, whose daughter is studying at Beijing Normal University, will give her living expenses of 2,000 yuan every month, plus the subsidy from 600 yuan, a normal school, and her daughter will have 2,600 yuan a month. "The money includes all her expenses, including eating, buying clothes and cosmetics." Tamia Liu said that children are so old, they can control their own financial situation, and giving more money is also to meet unexpected needs.

  Referring to the controversy over the high living expenses, Tamia Liu said that the living expenses should be determined according to the family situation, the price level in the area where the school is located and his own consumption. "As far as I know, 2,000 yuan is enough for students to eat in the whole country. It is not very appropriate to ask parents for a living allowance of more than 4,000 yuan. "

  Tamia Liu said that college students are adults and should make reasonable spending plans. "If students don’t have their own spending plans, even if their parents give them 10,000 yuan, they will run out." (Chengdu Business Daily-Red Star Journalist Peng Jing Deng Wenbo Yan Dan)
