When getting the salary, they do not make any plan, just spend. At the end of the month, they almost have no money. If you ask them how much they save in their account. They may tell you that there is no savings in their accounts because they have spent their salary. In Chinese, we call this kind of people yue 4 guang 1 zu 2, 月光族. It is not a good habit to spend your money without any plans.

Do you belong to their group? Any methods to change the situation?

I deposit 1/3 of my salary once getting it. In this case, I seldom overspend.

Yes, depositing is a good habit and useful way. Also you can do some investment. For example, you can buy some funds which are safer than shares. Third, you must be careful with your credit card. Do not use it randomly. The most important is that you should make a plan to help you manage your money. Doing accounting is also a good way.

It is always useful to save, but not always so easy! in fact the further China moves down the path of development the more people wil want to spend... that's what all ye dvertising is about. People will not just spend their wages they will want credit to spend in advance. Advertising works, invest in advertisng companies and banks!

Wenlin translates 月光族 as "moonbeam people."

Is there a proverb or legend associated with the name given to such reckless spenders?

It is really hard to restrain the desire for consuming when you have money in hand. The ultimate goal of deposit is to consume. It is only a matter of spending your money right now or in the future.
