The minimalist life allowed me to save 8W a year

Mondo Social Updated on 2024-02-20

Hello everyone, I am a minimalist carefree flower, a post-70s generation who likes reading and yoga.

This morning, I went to the bank to deposit a sum of money, a little happy, plus the previous deposit insurance, calculated, I actually saved 8w a year, I am really a little expert in saving money!

You know, the wages in our small city are not high, but the prices are not low.

So, how exactly did I save my money?

Today I'm going to share how I saved to 8w?

I'm a minimalist, and my biggest expenses in life are three meals a day, education, and yoga.

1. AA system of household expenditure

My family implements the AA system, most of the water, electricity, gas, rice and daily necessities are the responsibility of my husband, and the children's tuition fees are also given by the father, and I am mainly responsible for the daily food and children's living expenses.

Second, household items do not follow the trend

I don't buy anything at home, I can do it manually, and I don't use machines. There is no sweeping robot, no dishwasher, no oven, no blender, and no popular Internet celebrity small household appliances at home. Household items are all just needed, and they are not used and will never be replaced, and the use efficiency is amazing.

3. Three meals a day are abundant and cheap

My family's food expenses for a day are generally 50-60 yuan, breakfast is white porridge + eggs and mustard, lunch and dinner are two meats, two dishes and one soup. I am used to making scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried beef with tomatoes, scrambled eggs with leeks, meatballs, corn and carrots, cola chicken wings + chicken breast, tofu and meat foam, most of which are more green vegetables and less meat. Eggs, soybeans, black beans, and peanuts are always available, and the vegetables are not enough, so eggs come together, or soybeans and black bean bibimbap are also very fragrant, and the main one is rich in nutrition and cheap.

In this way, the food cost is 1,500 to 1,800 yuan a month, and about 20,000 yuan a year.

Fourth, poor sons

I have always been poor in raising my son, and in addition to the daily basic necessities, I can save everything I can. When I was a child, I bought fewer toys, I didn't make up classes when I was studying, I paid my pocket money regularly, and I paid for materials with New Year's money. Five or six sets of school uniforms are worn for 3 years, and the regular clothing store is broken and bone-browned, and only prepared.

Three or four sets, one wear is three years, from one size larger to one size smaller. Or rub a few sets from Dad, they're all tracksuits anyway, and the size is about the same.

We live in a school apartment, and our son lives at home almost all of his studies, eating and living together. We don't drink milk tea, we don't drink drinks, we don't eat burgers, ......365 days a year, drink boiled water every day and eat home-cooked food. My son doesn't play games, he doesn't use his mobile phone, and he doesn't spend much money except for reading and playing ball. Spend one a year.

Five or six thousand pieces is about the same.

5. Minimalist yoga

I spent more than 10,000 yuan at one time to buy a yoga course that I could learn repeatedly, and I studied it one after another, year after year, and went in a row.

In five or six years, all the wool was gone. In this way, the annual card fee is saved, and the average annual spending.

1. 2,000 yuan.

When I started practicing yoga, I only bought a yoga mat, a set of yoga clothes, and nothing else. Later, I bought a few sets of yoga clothes and a few tools when I was on sale, and I only spent more than 1,000 yuan on the installation fee in a few years.

After practicing yoga for a few years, I don't buy much regular clothes, and I buy them in the new season, and I buy them for a few hundred yuan a year.

Several pairs of branded sneakers and two pairs of small leather shoes are all bought by **, and they are worn as soon as they are worn.

Five or six years.

6. Other expenses

I don't wear makeup, and I don't do much skin care, a few yuan of cucumber facial cleanser, ten yuan and eight yuan of Dabao, dozens of yuan of tea seed oil, and two lipsticks can live a year.

When traveling and riding a tram, the charging fee is about 300 yuan a year. **It's 8 yuan** month, less than 100 yuan a year.

There are so many others, and they don't add up much.

In this way, it will cost twenty or thirty thousand yuan a year, and the rest will be saved.

Recall that the minimalist life is really fragrant, allowing me to live a simple and happy life, with savings and confidence.
