Middle-aged housewives' ways to save money: the transformation brought about by a minimalist life
Ms. Wang, a shrewd housewife, has changed her life dramatically after she began to practice minimalism, and this is what she learned:
The fun and harvest of bookkeeping
After we got married, my husband and I often had disagreements over family expenses. I started experimenting with bookkeeping in hopes of getting a clearer picture of household spending. Unexpectedly, I gradually fell in love with bookkeeping. Not only did it give me control over the flow of money, but it also gave me a deeper sense of control over my life. It's nice to look back at your bills at the end of the month and have that clarity and clarity.
The courage to give up
In the past, I was reluctant to throw away things that I no longer use, thinking that they might still be useful in the future. But now, I've learned to let go. For items that I won't need for the next three months, I will decisively discard them. It makes my home tidy and makes me appreciate everything in front of me even more.
Reduce obsession with objects
In the past, I was always obsessed with the things I loved, and I always felt that I could only be satisfied with owning them. But now, I understand that things are just a part of life and not worth paying too much for. Even if you get it, the novelty will wear off quickly. As a result, I learned to let go of my attachments and cherish what I already have.
Clever response to new additions
I will cherish the gifts given by friends, but for the accompanying greeting cards, I will choose to take photos and save them, so as to preserve the memories and avoid the accumulation of items. I am very satisfied with this lifestyle of "fewer things and more thoughts".
Bringing it with you becomes a habit
Now, I take my belongings with me wherever I go. Bring plastic bags and bags when shopping, and power banks, tissues, and drinking glasses when you go out to play. This self-contained lifestyle not only saves money and is environmentally friendly, but also makes me feel very comfortable. I don't care about other people's eyes anymore and live only for myself.
In short, my life has become more fulfilling and meaningful after practicing minimalism. I learned to cherish, let go, and be self-sufficient, which made me more confident and content. I believe that as long as we stick to this lifestyle, the future will be even better.
