2023 has come to an end, ushering in a new 2024, and there is some expectation in my heart. Looking back on the past consumption records, I found that I had been coerced by consumerism, bought a lot of dispensable things, and the daughter was gone, at this moment, I stood at a new starting point, according to the habit of sorting out a few non-buy lists, to achieve rational consumption, and strive to save more money, I hope to bring you inspiration and thinking.
1) Do not buy non-gold and non-silver jewelry.
This kind of jewelry is easy to fade after wearing it for a while, and wearing this kind of jewelry will cause me to be allergic, and both ears will become red and pus, and it looks cheap. When I was young, I spent a lot of money in this area, as long as it looked good, I would buy it back, and it didn't matter what material, after wearing it for a while, I lost it, I lost it, I lost it, and I didn't cherish it because it was cheap. Now I want to buy good quality, the style is simple and generous, the quantity does not need to be much, one or two pieces are enough.
2) Buy as little or no clothes as possible.
In the past, every time I opened the wardrobe to choose clothes, I would be entangled for a long time, and I felt that I didn't know where to start in the face of a cabinet of clothes, and I always felt that there were no clothes to wear, but in fact, the real reason was that there were too many clothes. In the past few days, I have worn a pair of pants that have been worn for about a year, and finally decided to discard it, although this pants were not cheap when I bought them, but I was very relaxed and even a little happy when I discarded them, because I had too many pants. Whenever I reduce the number of items I have, I feel a good mood, this feeling is subtle, I don't get kidnapped by clothes, I prefer the feeling of freedom. If you can buy new clothes in the new year, don't buy them, and if you have to buy them, keep the principle of one out, one in, and think twice before buying.
3) Do not buy cosmetics and skin care products.
Since the practice of minimalist life, the use of such items has been based on one principle: enough can be used. Skin care products are no longer bought in sets, and it is more cost-effective to only buy the items you need, and it is a waste of money to buy them back even if they are cheaper if they are not needed. There are only two lipsticks, which is enough for me, we only have one mouth, and we don't really need that much lipstick. Visually inspect my existing skincare products, and use them for another year or so. I found that the less you do it, the better the state, our ** has the ability to self-regulate and self-repair, sleep well, go to bed early and get up early, it is the best and most natural skin care products. Don't serve in the United States, be true to yourself.
4) Don't buy pots and pans with similar functions, and don't hoard pots.
For example: soymilk machine and wall breaker; ovens and air fryers; Electric pressure cookers and pressure cookers ......The effects of these items are all close. If the function is similar, you can have one, keep it lean and simple. There are so many pots and pans in my kitchen that I don't need at all, and many of them used to be bought. You can't use it, you can't throw it away, it's not a waste and what is it? In addition to the need to clean up and wipe from time to time, it also occupies a special place, which adds a lot of labor to myself and wastes time.
It is recommended that friends convert the item into life energy before considering whether they need to buy it. If your hourly salary is about 40 yuan, if you buy a coat for 1,200 yuan, it will consume 30 hours of life, and if you buy a part of the mobile phone for 10,000 yuan, it will consume 250 hours of life, and you will not place an order with your eyes closed. Maintain the principle of loving things and cherishing things, making the best use of things to treat the items you already have, and maximize the value of each item as much as possible, which is the greatest respect for items!
