最近，中国的社交媒体上，很多人都自称是“隐形贫困人口”。
这个词到底什么意思呢？
“隐形贫困人口”指那些花钱比挣钱多的人。
他们的生活讲究质量，在美食、衣服、健身房、按摩以及其他日常支出方面开销很大，银行账户里基本没多少钱。
其实，不仅在中国，“隐形贫困”现象在许多国家都存在，尤其是在年轻人当中。
去新开的餐厅尝鲜，紧跟潮流的时尚衣着，或者奢华假期，哪个方面都不想落后于小伙伴，年轻人们由此累积了数千美元的债务。
网友还根据这个词创造了很多新词。
隐形有钱人口：指那些声称要破产了，但其实很有钱的人。
隐形单身人口：指那些看起来很善于谈情，在生活中却一直没有真正恋爱的人。
隐形肥胖人口指那些看起来很正常，实际上却很胖的人。
