- Non-consumerism".
It is an 88-square-meter house, but there are only 6 pieces of furniture in the house, such as bed boards, large wardrobes, and washing machines.
The whole house is painted with big white walls, without any decoration and complicated ceilings, and even the decorators secretly complain"This family is so poor!”
Is it true that the homeowner is too poor to have the money to renovate and buy furniture?
In fact, on the contrary, the owner is a salesperson with 10 years of work experienceThe income is far more than the average salary in Shijiazhuang by four or five times!
So why does she insist on being a "non-consumerist"?And how do the "non-consumerists" live?
For many office workers, a meal or a new set of clothes during the break can more or less soothe the tiredness of work.
Some girls live a very delicate life and pay attention to appearance. There are also girls who prefer to eat some delicious food to satisfy their stomachs.
However, Qiao Sang, who was born in the 90s, insisted on "non-consumerism", and often asked the boss for some vegetables that were not in good condition and were about to wilt in the vegetable market.
——The pursuit of material things in his youth.]—
Josan was born into a family that was not wealthy, and she also had a younger sister.
Although the family conditions are not very good, Qiao San's parents give them the best things within their ability.
Josan grew up in the love of his family during his childhood.
And childhood life is not only the love of parents, but also the inferiority complex that breeds in daily life。Even though Qiao San's parents have tried hard to give their sisters the best things, they can't compare to their well-off peers.
When I was in elementary school, a pair of shiny shoes were especially popular among girls, and their pink colors combined with their shiny appearance were very popular among girls.
Qiao San is no exception, but the ** of the shoes is not low, her mother promised to buy it for her, but she has to wait, Qiao San is full of anticipation.
But before she could put on her new shoes, she saw that several female classmates in the same class already had beautiful shoes, and looking at their happy appearance, Qiao San's young heart was filled with inferiority.
This kind of thing doesn't happen just once, and every time it makes Qiao San's inferiority complex even heavier.
Until I went to college.
Qiao San attended a university in Beijing.
The university brings together students from all over the world, and it also allows Qiao San to see a lot of things that he has not been exposed to before, and he can only get things that others can easily get, while he can only get them by saving money.
Qiao San's monthly living expenses could not support her to buy all the things she wanted, so she began to look for various part-time jobs during college.
Probably to make up for the shortcomings of her childhood, Qiao San spent money as she wanted when she grew up, and she had a very strong desire to shop, so she did a lot of different jobs.
She doesn't buy things according to demand, but in batches, and the quantity is very largeShe can use the same items every day.
At most, Qiao San spent more than 50,000 in one go.
She also signed up for a gym membership, but she hasn't been there a few times.
She even saw people diving on TV, and thought it was funny, and she wanted to try it herselfI immediately booked a ticket to the Philippines and spent more than 10,000 yuan to get a diving certificate locally.
When she went to Turkey, she fell in love with the local paragliding program and spent more than 10,000 yuan on it.
Even just to see a beautiful night view, a hotel with more than 3,000 nights, she didn't blink for half a month.
Many times, the money Qiao San spends is on a whim, and it has little value for her later.
In those years, she basically couldn't save money, as long as she had money in her hand, Qiao San would spend it immediately.
A friend once told her to restrain her desire to shop and save some money.
Here's how Josan replied to her:"If money is not spent, it will only become a string of cold numbers in my heart, and it can bring me happiness when it is spent. ”
But behind the high consumption, is her fatigue at work.
Every time she spent all the money, Qiao San had to devote herself to busy work, and this kind of life pattern could no longer bring her happiness over time.
——A change in mentality.]—
In shopping again and again, Qiao San can no longer feel the joy of spending money, and she begins to re-examine herself, what do you want?
Hesitating for some reasons, Qiao San wants to move, due to the previous shopping spree, which has caused her to have a lot of things at home, and moving can be described as a "big project".
While tidying up the room, Qiao San found that there were many things that he no longer needed, or that he had bought too many on impulse and had left them idle.
Looking at the messy room,There were piles of things she had bought but hadn't used a few times, or even had no use, and she decided to "break away" and throw them all away.
After giving it up, things were greatly reduced, which made Qiao San feel more relaxed than ever, it turned out that it was more comfortable to give up some things than to get something.
From then on, she fell in love with "Breaking Away".If you give up, you will get psychological satisfaction.
A few years later, Qiao San saved some money and, with the help of his parents, bought a house of more than 80 square meters.
Many of her friends thought she would decorate the house in a complicated way, but it turned out not to be what they thought.
The house is basically not renovated, just the walls are painted, and the furniture is only bought for the necessities of life, and there is no extra furniture.
Even the workers who delivered the furniture saw such a house, and felt that the owner had no money to decorate, but the fact was that Qiao San was pursuing a minimalist life and did not want to be cumbersome and redundant.
She also picked up the yoga she had learned before, and every time she finished yoga, she felt extremely relaxed.
It just so happened that it would also catch up with the rise of the short ** platform, Qiao San often recorded some of his own ** and posted it on the Internet, and he also had some fans.
Because Qiao San's background is very simple, with only a yoga mat and a white wall, many fans ask where Qiao San practices yoga.
After learning that it was Qiao San's home, I couldn't help but be surprised.
Girls like cute and beautiful things, and women who live alone usually do some decoration in their own houses, but Josan is obviously not in this category.
In the face of everyone's doubts, Qiao San said the reason why he did this: "It is indeed my home, and the walls are like this, this very simple environment, a very simple life makes me feel very comfortable." ”
At this time, one fan said: "I think you are particularly suitable for the "non-consumerist" lifestyle. ”
After Qiao San learned about "non-consumerism", he decided to practice it.
Qiao San really started a life of trying not to consume, she would record her daily life and post it on social platforms, so she appeared on a CCTV program, which showed her minimalist life.
——Minimalist life, spiritual abundance.—
As the alarm clock sounded, Qiao San woke up from his sleep, washed up, and had a simple breakfast, which was a boiled egg and a bowl of porridge.
Because of her insistence on low consumption, she takes the bus to work every day, and even though her salary can fully support her to buy a scooter, she no longer buys it as she said before.
Except for the necessary expenses, Qiao San basically does not spend money, and even eats as much as she tries to eat without spending money.
She often takes things to exchange with friends or neighbors for some food, and when it comes to eating, Qiao San is very casual, as long as she can eat enough.
She spends her time exercising, going for a walk, or doing yoga.
Day after day, Qiao San's living habits are becoming healthier and healthier, less obsessed with material pursuits, and people have become very indifferent.
In this way of life, Qiao San liked to read quietly.
The world in the book immersed her, and every time she read a book, she felt like a spring breeze, and in this way, she fell in love with reading.
No matter what he was doing, Josan would bring a book with him, and whenever he had time, he would take it out and read it. Qiao San likes to go to the bookstore very much, and the place with many books makes her feel at ease and comfortable, and sometimes she stays in the bookstore for a day.
When she goes on a business trip, she will also squeeze out time to go to the bookstore where she is on a business trip, and experience the different bookstore environment in each place, which is a novel and pleasant thing.
In just one year, Qiao San has read more than 100 books, most of which are paper books, and paper books have more feelings.
But you need to spend money to buy paper books, and in line with the principle of low consumption, Qiao San wants to spend less on books, so she came up with an idea:
Why don't people take out all the books they have read, and then everyone looks for books they haven't read?”
In this way, there will be no expenses and more books will be read. ”
So, Qiao San expressed his thoughts on social platforms, and fans also supported it, sending all the books he had read to Qiao Sang, and Qiao San bore the postage.
In this way, Qiao San received hundreds of books, many of which she wanted to read but stopped because of **, and after sorting out the books, Qiao San opened a "shared bookstore" at home.
Many fans and friends will come here to borrow the books they basically want to read, and at the same time, they will also bring the books they have already read.
In this way, this shared bookstore not only allows Qiao San to achieve the freedom of reading, but also allows others to find the joy of reading and avoid unnecessary expenses.
Qiao San has been recording her life, such a simple and rich life has won her the love of many people, and she has also appeared on CCTV because of her unique lifestyle.
Behind the relaxed and simple life presented to everyone, there is a hidden entanglement of Qiao San's treatment of work.
Because of her fanatical pursuit of material things in her youth, Qiao San has a rich work experience, and she has done both large and small jobs, during which she has accumulated wealth, but it has also brought physical and mental stress.
Due to the huge expenses in the early stage, Qiao San can be said to have worked hard in the past few years, staying up late and working overtime is a common thing, and she who originally didn't know how to drink has also honed her "thousands of cups without getting drunk" for business entertainment.
After so many years of work, she has indeed received a very considerable salary.
However, in the past two years of adhering to the "non-consumerism" life, she began to hate business meals, hated to show a professional smile in order to close orders, and began to hate to show herself in front of many people, and she has now begun to enjoy a "lonely and free" life.
In the CCTV program, she once said:"I haven't completely broken away yet, and if I could, I would break free from work and find more meaning in life. ”
Originally, I thought it was just Qiao San's ideal life, but I wouldn't make hasty decisions for the sake of life.
To everyone's surprise, Qiao San really proposed to resign, not on the spur of the moment, but after careful consideration.
She said: "If I continue to work, I can be promoted and raised, which is indeed a good result for me after working hard for many years." ”
"But now I feel that I am being bound by these material things, and even though I am materially rich, my spirit is trapped in place. ”
Although everyone felt very sorry, they also admired Qiao San's bravery.
After leaving her job, Qiao San chose to "wander", she wanted to see the beauty of this world and enrich her spiritual world.
There are all kinds of people in the world, everyone pursues different goals, sometimes, when you feel tired, you can give up some things appropriately, learn to let go, only then can you have a chance to get new possibilities.
