I made small talk with my good friend Miss A and talked about a topic:Do you have to save money to make your life hard?
Girl A shared her story.
When Girl A was a child, her family conditions were average, not particularly good, but she was not a very bad kind either. But Girl A's mother always complained that the family was very poor and that she was very strict with her money.
On weekdays, girl A has no pocket money, and in addition to her normal work, her father also goes to work part-time to subsidize the family, and when she goes home with her salary, her mother will say: "This little money is not enough for the family to eat!" ”
Girl A graduated and joined the work, got her first salary, and was very excited to hand it over to her mother, and her mother still said: "A little salary a month is not enough to buy fertilizer for the family!" ”
It's really heart-wrenching.
Girl A felt very depressed, feeling that there was no hope in life, as if no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get rid of poverty.
In fact, life is multifaceted, and many times, happiness depends on how we see and think. Positive portrait sun shines on *** bright.
The money earned from part-time work may not be enough to eat the whole family, but at least you can improve your food, not enough to eat for a month, enough to eat for half a month, right?
Although we often say that we must live hard, study hard, and make money hard, we must also be content and happy, otherwise it will be too painful, and it is estimated that we will be depressed after a long time.
Girl A said that even if her mother was reluctant to eat and wear, she "forced" the whole family to work and work part-time, but she still shouted "no money" all year round, as if this kind of "poverty" could not be changed no matter what.
When girl A got married, she didn't have a dowry, so in the words of girl A's mother: "Our family has no money, so we can't buy you a dowry." ”
And Miss A's aunt is also a thrifty woman, and her family conditions are similar to that of Miss A's family.
But my aunt and my mother are different, although my aunt is also saved, and she is usually reluctant to spend money indiscriminately. But every month, I will take out a sum of the money I save to buy some food for my children that I am usually reluctant to eat, and improve the family food.
When my uncle went out to earn money and came back, my aunt would accept it happily and say, "The child's accommodation fee for next month has been settled, which is really good!" ”
Even if my uncle doesn't earn much, my aunt will be very satisfied and say, "It's enough for us to eat salt for a year, it's a lot!" ”
Aunt A's contentment and happiness brought relief to her family as well as encouragement.
Lu Xun has a sentence in "Hesitation and Divorce":"A person should always be kind, 'harmony makes money', right? ”
Girl A would go to her aunt's house every summer vacation, and every time she would find that her aunt's house had added something new, whether it was a bicycle, or a TV, or a washing machine...
My aunt smiled deeply and said to Girl A: "I set a goal with your uncle, and if I save enough 8,000 yuan this year, I will add a bicycle to my family, and I will save enough in June, so I bought this bicycle." ”
Saving money is a long-term task, and without a little encouragement, it can be really difficult to stick to it, and sometimes even frustrating.
Girl A said that she prefers her aunt's life of saving money, and likes to give herself a small reward appropriately, which is an encouragement and an affirmation.
Truth be told, I love rewards too. We who work hard for life sometimes really need a moderate reward so that we have more motivation to move forward.
Just like when we work, the unit has a full attendance award, even if it is only 200 yuan, it is also the reason why we are reluctant to take leave.
It's the same with saving money, set a small goal. When you save money to achieve your goals, learn to reward yourself appropriately.
In the process of rewarding, please be willing to spend money for yourself, even if it is just a 30 yuan matcha cake, even if it is a 200 yuan lipstick, you can strengthen the confidence and determination to save money.
Learn to reward yourself appropriately, and reward yourself appropriately every time you complete the goal, so that saving money can have fun!
I hope every little partner will save happily and happily in the process of saving money!
