In the past 2023, in addition to the mortgage, my husband and I only spent 3w yuan.
On average, a person spends only 15w yuan.
I was surprised by the low cost.
Mr. even sighed and said, I don't feel that we are very economical.
Since I fell in love with minimalist life, I have seen the truth of consumerism.
My husband and I both enjoyed a simple life with low material desires.
Instead of feeling that "spending less money and living a life is no fun", we feel that the past year has been fulfilling and meaningful.
1) I have things that I love and want to immerse myself in.
During the three-day holiday on New Year's Day, we didn't spend any more money except for spending dozens of yuan on daily groceries.
But this New Year's Day holiday, we have a very full and energetic time.
My husband and I want to make use of our respective strengths and make a new project.
In the past three days, after each of them has dealt with their own affairs, they stick together to discuss this new project.
In the process of communication, we collided with a lot of sparks of ideas, and also found the shining points of each other.
Not to mention whether this project can be done or not, we have gained a lot in the process of preparation.
The three-day vacation passed quickly, and it didn't cost anything, but it didn't feel boring or boring.
On the contrary, we had a great time in the past three days, full of passion, busy, but not tired.
When you have something more meaningful to do than spending money, spending money naturally takes a back seat.
For the past year, too, I've been so busy with the things I love every day that I often can't think of how much money I have to spend.
2) I care about my health, but I don't care if I can wear new patterns every day.
I thought I couldn't make a lot of money, and it didn't matter, but I couldn't spend a lot of money because of my own negligence.
So, I care about the health of myself and my family.
But I don't really care if I can wear different clothes every day.
Like me, I wear clothes all year round. But I don't feel like I don't have enough clothes to wear, and I don't have the desire to buy more.
On the contrary, I want to save the time of choosing clothes and paying attention to the changes.
Use it for exercise, or for cooking for yourself, to make yourself eat better, to make your body a little stronger.
Our time is limited, our attention is on, and our lives are there.
Spending money on me often doesn't get in line.
3) I have a lot of low-cost hobbies.
I recently came up with the idea of relearning English (self-taught).
I'm interested in learning more about web30 new knowledge.
I have a long list of books waiting for me to read.
I still have a lot of podcasts to listen to in line.
I still have a few documentaries to watch.
I'm also planning to go on a picnic on a weekend when the temperature is comfortable.
Oh my God, I still have a lot of low-cost hobbies to do.
Every day is busy and happy.
How can you take care of the little thing of spending money.
4) I took the initiative to choose to be happy.
Nawal said: Desire is the unhappiness of active choice.
I have to say that a lot of pain in life comes from desire.
I did it the other way around, and I took the initiative to choose to be happy.
Therefore, I don't take the initiative to tap my desires, and I rarely go shopping or watch short ** live broadcasts.
I will not allow my desires to grow, even if I like it, I know how to stop in moderation.
I don't want to climb other people's desires, and try to make choices within my own ability.
I am sober to live and very sober to consume.
