A monthly salary of three thousand is indeed a relatively low income level for many people, especially in cities with a higher cost of living. However, even with such an income, saving money is not a completely impossible task. Of course, this requires some careful planning and effort. Here are some of my personal thoughts and suggestions:
First of all, it is very important to know how much you are earning. Try to keep track of your income and expenses each month, but don't waste too much effort writing out a budget. This is to find out what can be cut.
Review your spending habits and cut back on some unnecessary expenses. For example, eating out, coffee, snacks, etc. I'll give you an example, swap Starbucks for Luckin, or Luckin for a palatable canned coffee. The same refreshing effect, but the price is much cheaper. If you're looking for something cheaper, energy drinks like Red Bull or Dongpeng are also available. Of course, it is not recommended to drink too much.
At the same time, if you buy ingredients to cook your own meals, you can save a lot of expenses. It should be pointed out that many people may not have time to cook, so it is important to look for a kitchenware that makes lazy dishes. Rice cookers, slow cookers, or large spoons, are all great tools for making lazy dishes. A rice cooker can add some meat and vegetables to make a pot of stewed rice, while a slow cooker may simmer a broth with meat and vegetables. As for the big spoon, for details, see the Big Red Ball Vital Signs Maintenance Meal series of Banana Persimmon Pear. In short, with such a lazy food tool, it is relatively easy to reduce the cost of a meal by about 20%.
Then, look for a cheap lifestyle. For example, get a bicycle. I don't recommend getting an electric car now, because it is strictly checked, and sometimes it will be confiscated or fined for some reason. So let's hold on to the bike first. Commute and get some exercise at the same time. If it is the kind of electric bicycle with a detachable battery, you can also consider it. Of course, if you live in a mountainous city, you should consider buses.
So, what is saving money for? The money saved is to make life better in the future. If this money becomes a productivity tool or a steady income, then life will slowly get better later on. First of all, if the money you save is a deposit, the interest will allow you to eat two or three more meals a month. Don't underestimate these two or three meals, they can save lives in difficult times. If it becomes a productivity tool, then it will allow you to earn extra money part-time, and it will also improve your life. All in all, saving money is to use that capital to make your life better in the future. Even with a monthly salary of 3,000, it is feasible to save money.
