Invisible pressures push young people into the race to get rich

HUYỀN TRANG |

According to psychologists, invisible pressures from society, social networks and comparative psychology are pushing many young people into the race to get rich.

In the context of more and more young people pursuing financial success goals, many people fall into a state of pressure and anxiety because they always feel they are slower than others.

According to psychologist Mai Viet Duc - Nhan Hoa Viet Psychological Counseling and Therapy Center - this pressure does not originate from a single cause but is the resonance of many psychological and social factors. Below are three main reasons why many young people fall into the pressure of getting rich.

The social context changes too quickly: Technology, social networks and media are developing strongly, causing many young people to constantly approach stories about success, high income or lavish lifestyles.

This easily creates a feeling that if you slow down or have not reached certain milestones, you are being left behind, thereby forming pressure to earn a lot of money and succeed as soon as possible.

Expectations from family, friends and themselves: Many people, especially young people, want to succeed to prove their abilities, make their parents proud or not be judged or looked down upon.

Psychology of comparison with people of the same age: When seeing friends who have bought a house, traveled or achieved financial freedom, many people easily develop a feeling of inferiority and create pressure to earn more money.

According to expert Mai Viet Duc, when getting rich is no longer simply meeting life's needs but becomes a measure of a person's value, young people are very likely to lose confidence and inner peace.
