　　月光族(moonlight group)，网络流行词，指将每月赚的钱都用完、花光的人。月光族一般都是年轻一代，与父辈勤俭节约的观念不同，他们喜欢追逐时尚，想买就买，根本不在乎钱财。“月光”们有知识、有能力，花钱不仅表达他们对物质生活的喜爱，更是他们赚钱的动力。上一代人信奉“会赚不如会省”，对他们的行为痛心疾首;而他们的格言是“能花才更能赚”。“富不过三十天;穷不了一个月” 是对他们的生活最生动的描述。

　　中国经济的高速发展，带来了消费文化的日益流行，同时也催生了一批具有高学历，充分享受资本主义消费模式的年轻人，他们习惯于当月工资当月花。因而被称为“月光族”(the moonlight group)。“月光族”一词出现于20世纪90年代后期，是用来讽刺那些出身富裕、接受高等教育、充分享受快餐文化(fast food culture)的年轻人。

　　“月光族(the moonlight clan)”总是每个月花光收入，也没有存钱的计划。社会中有一小部分人是“月光族”。支持这种消费观念的人指出，作为月光族可以让他们拥有更多享受生活的机会，过高质量的生活。这种消费习惯在某种程度上也造成了奢侈浪费。月光族或许拥有奢华、高质量的生活，但是他们也会感到缺乏安全感，尤其是当手头拮据的时候。
