I've been watching a lot of people live a minimalist life before.
At first, I didn't understand what a minimalist life was.
I always thought that a minimalist life was about not spending money and not buying things.
Later, when I really started to get in touch with minimalist life, I found that:
This way of life can not only change our living state, but also make our wallets more full.
It is more suitable for friends who want to save money.
For most young people, they basically receive a regular income.
If you want to save money, you generally do it.
Before starting a minimalist life,The way I save money is basically to rely on stiffness and not spending.
But after starting to live a minimalist life, I found that I didn't need to save money deliberately, and it was natural to save money.
The following will share my 6 consumption views that have slowly changed because of my minimalist life.
1. Don't hoard
I used to buy things and especially like to hoard,
Especially when you see buy 2 get 0 free or the 0th half price, you can't help but buy more.
But often hoard a lot of things, and in the end you will find:
These things are either expired or unusable.
SoSince I started living a minimalist life, I basically don't stock up on things.
Basically, when you come across something you like, you will first investigate it and buy the quantity you need.
If you also like to hoard things, be sure to break this bad habit.
I feel like I've lived to the limit.One of my biggest changes is that I don't stock up anymore.
2. Focus on quality, not quantity
I used to like to buy things very much,Some、No, buy a bunch,
After I bought it home, I found that many things were not used at all, and the quality was very poor.
So since the beginning of the minimalist life,
I generally buy things more about quality than quantity.
Especially when you buy clothes,Don't try to be cheap, buy some clothes for dozens of dollars.
This type of clothing is generally of poor material and is prone to obsolescence.
The most important thing is thatIn the process of their production, a large number of chemical components may be added.
Wearing such clothes seriously affects our physical health.
3. Refuse to consume blindly
The main reason why I was able to save money was because I developed a habit of refusing to spend blindly.
Buying things before,You may see that this thing is more popular on the Internet, and you will blindly place an order.
But now buy something,The first thing I think about is whether I can use it, whether it's practical.
If it's not practical or you don't need it, I usually don't buy it.
In addition to blind consumption, following the trend of consumption is also a mistake that many people are prone to make.
If you don't want to spend a lot of money every month,Then you must control your desire to consume.
4. Don't buy duplicate items
Have you noticed that more and more people are now falling into the capitalist trap of consumption?
In the past, when we washed our faces, we could wipe it with a towel.
But nowadays, more and more people are using makeup removers or face towels.
Lots of makeupBloggersTell everyone to use a face towel because the towel is dirty,
Wiping your face with a dirty towel can cause skin sensitivity.
But when we usually use towels,
Generally, it is washed and dried before continuing to be used, who will wipe their face with a dirty towel?
I used to wipe my face with a washcloth.
But it took a while,I found that the cost of a moonshine face towel is forty or fifty per day.
So I decided to change the face towel back to the towel.
But when we use towels,
Be sure to make sure that the towels are clean and changed regularly every two or three months.
5. Set a cooling-off period for shopping
Many of my friends around me say that I buy things more rationally.
Actually, I can be so sensible,This is mainly due to the cooling-off period for shopping.
It is better to put the things you want to buy in the shopping cart for more than a week or so.
If you still want to buy it or can really use it after this time, then place an order.
If the desire to buy has been lost within this period, then delete it.
This method is recommended for everyone to try, it is really practical.
Write at the end:
If you want to achieve financial freedom as soon as possible, then you must learn to lower your desires.
