A survey showed 28.4 percent of young Chinese spend more than what they earn each month, while 45.4 percent said they still occasionally need financial support from their parents.

一項調查顯示，28.4％的中國青年每月工資會透支，45.4％的青年在平時生活中會偶爾需要父母的經濟資助。

The survey, jointly conducted last week by China Youth Daily and among 1,571 young people in the 19-35 age group, also found that 26.2 percent of the respondents are barely able to make ends meet.

上週，這項由《中國青年報》聯合問卷網，對1571名19歲至35歲青年進行的調查顯示，26.2％的受訪者勉強處於收支平衡的情況。

While 45.4 percent spend less than what they earn, only 4.3 percent said their monthly income far exceeds spending.

儘管有45.4％的受訪者表示能夠有所富餘，但其中僅有4.3％的人表示會富餘較多。

According to the data, 51.2 percent of respondents hope "a certain proportion of their monthly income would remain" after necessary spending, while 69.4 percent believe young people should plan their consumption and raise wealth management awareness.

據調查數據顯示，有51.2%的受訪者希望每月在必要開銷之外能夠有一定的富餘資金，而約69.4%的受訪青年認爲，年輕人應該學會制定自己的消費計劃，同時也要提高理財意識。

Zhang Ye, a native from Hunan Province who works at a state-owned enterprise in Beijing, said the rent she pays for her apartment almost accounts for half of her monthly income and little money is left after spending on meals, transport and socializing.

在北京某國企工作的湖南女孩張葉表示，每月房租幾乎佔了她一半收入，平時除了吃飯、交通等費用以及社交等花銷之外，每月工資的狀況是“所剩無幾”。

Wang Min (a pseudonym), a middle school teacher based in Tangshan of Hebei Province, said children should learn to budget and that part of their spending results from peer pressure.

河北省唐山市某中學教師王敏(化名)認爲，現在的孩子應該要從小學習規劃預算。此外，同齡人帶來的壓力也是他們花錢的原因之一。

"Take electronic products for example. Many young people's bills keep rising as they rapidly update their electronic gear," Wang said. "Many of the replaced products might not have broken down; they were just not the 'latest'."

王敏說道：“拿電子產品消費來說，隨着電子商品的快速更新換代，許多年輕人的消費賬單也跟着堆積。很多電子產品被更換可能並非因爲壞掉了，只是因爲不是最新品而已。”
