Abstract
In the 21st century, social media has become a tool for people to communicate and the most frequently used software. In China, the research focuses on whether social media has an impact on youth spending. This study used questionnaires and random interviews to determine whether social media has an impact on teenagers' spending. A total of 103 questionnaires were collected and 8 teenagers out of 103 teenagers (high school students) were selected as interviewees. The study found that teenagers were influenced by the spread of social media, had wrong ideas about money and led to an increase in spending. The study hopes that more attention will be paid to the development of money and spending concepts among teenagers
