Everyone knows the importance of hairstyle for a person's appearance and temperament. I don't know how many times you've come out of the barbershop laughing. Two days ago, I stared at myself in the mirror, and I always felt that the hairstyle was almost meaningful, which affected the play of my appearance, so I searched on a certain ** platform"Hairstyling", the cover of many handsome guys and beauties with exquisite hairstyles instantly made me very interested. I also successfully connected with an Internet celebrity Mr. Tony through the platform.
The online and offline communication was very pleasant, but when he said **, I was still a chrysanthemum. But thinking that I was about to become a peerless beauty, I touched my shriveled wallet, gritted my teeth and nodded.
After five hours of struggle, after finishing it, his heart was cold, but under the bombardment of his three-inch tongue, seventy-seven eighty-eight calculated a little more than 2,000 yuan, five hundred charges, and 2,500 cards. The end result became uglier and uglier the more I looked back, and I lost sleep for two days.
There is no doubt that I have fallen into the trap of consumerism.
There are two main forms of consumer traps: advertising and discounts**. Advertising fills almost every corner of our lives and unconsciously breaks into our brains. Discount** is to take advantage of the public's greed for cheapness, just imagine when you see the last two days in the door of the store, limited to 620% off, how many people are not impressed?
However, just when we thought we had picked up a bargain and were complacent, the money in our pockets disappeared.
Why are we defenseless in the face of this information?The reason is that the merchant makes perfect use of human desires.
1.Strive for perfection
People are born with the nature to pursue beauty, and women are even more so, so it is often said that women's money is the best to earn. Cosmetics, skin care, clothes, hairstyles, accessories, ......It costs money, and it's fun to buy and buy, and it hurts when you just buy it, and you can't help but consume it next time. These are all due to their pursuit of perfection, such as making their appearance more attractive through care or decoration, so as to be more confident in all aspects.
2.Gain respect
In addition to gaining the respect of the people around us through the improvement of the external image, there is also a very important reason that we are in a high position throughout the consumption process, and the salesman or waiter allows us through various words"Like a spring breeze", even fluttering. in the workplace or in life"Small transparent"You can experience unprecedented respect when you consume. Refusal to consume means a loss of respect.
3.Profit-seeking mentality
"What is bought is not sold"In the end, all kinds of ** activities of merchants are to make money, but in our opinion, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to gather wool. Not seizing the opportunity is equivalent to losing money, and under the control of this psychology, I buy a lot of things that I can't use at all or hoard things that I can't use up for a few years, and in the end the house is full, and only the wallet is empty.
Compared with men, girls are more likely to spend impulsively, and it is inevitable that their wallets will be empty, and even breed family conflicts and even lead to the breakdown of marriages.
I used to be a consumer maniac, especially when I first joined the work, I had a little spare money in my hand, so I always wanted to eat well, wear well, and use it well, and when I was most frustrated, I set a record of spending 30,000 yuan a month. When I wanted to buy a house, I found that I had no money left.
The former moonlight clan has now saved 300,000 in a second-tier small city, and I have summed up the five ways to avoid pits with my own blood and tears.
1.Listen to your inner voice
Money is spent from your own pocket, as long as you don't pay, you can't help sleep, even if the salesman says a lot of things, fool you into a daze, please listen to your inner voice: do I really need this thing?I bought it today, will I regret it tomorrow?
At the same time, don't be afraid to refuse to be others, I once fell into this misunderstanding, others greeted with a smile on their faces, enthusiastically talking about their products and services, out of respect, we may stop to listen, after listening to it will be put there, others have wasted time and energy on you, at this time to refuse others is not very polite, so pay the bill in a daze, and the banknotes will fly away from your pocket.
2.Start slowly
Impulsiveness is human instinct, and when you look back, how many times have you bought back a bunch of rags because of a hot head, and it is useless and takes up space?The solution I figured out was to take it slow and start again.
What you want to buy at this moment, slow down until tomorrow, and when you wake up, you will come back to your senses, and the desire to buy is not so strong. Congratulations, another saving.
3.Free stuff is always the most expensive
The beauty salon will give you free experience items every three or five days, and the gym will give you free personal training ...... when you apply for a cardWhen you feel that you have picked up wool, please be sober, others are thinking about Grandpa Mao in your pocket again.
There is no such thing as a free lunch, this truth has been taught by my mother since I was a child, always expecting pies to fall from the sky, and be careful of being stoned to death by pies.
Let's think about it from another perspective, what is the purpose of the business, is it to do charity?No, it's almost all drainage. And I once experienced some free items when I was young and uninhibited, and when I didn't buy it after the experience, the salesman's eyes would roll to the sky......Ten times I went in, and eight times I could hold my wallet.
4.Replace shopping with hobbies
More often than not, shopping is to make yourself happy, and to add color to your dull days with consumption behavior. However, the pleasure of consumption is extremely short-lived. And it's better to use a hobby instead of shopping.
First of all, you should be happy to see the amount of your savings climb. Secondly, hobbies instead of shopping can free us from material pursuits and pay more attention to spiritual satisfaction. For example, painting, flower arrangement, reading, writing, bracelet weaving, ......In the gradual learning and progress, we can also cultivate our spiritual temperament, so that we can widen the gap with the layman who only know how to buy, buy, buy.
Dealing with money is a lifelong topic, and how to get along with money in order to have a fulfilling and comfortable life without regrets is a problem that we should sink down to think about. From the moonlight clan to an ordinary girl in a second-tier city who saved 300,000, the above methods have made me tried many times, and I hope that the koi fish on my body can also play a role in you and become what you expect.
