A month has passed since 2024, and the Ministry of Commerce has positioned this year as the "Year of Consumption Promotion". Remember that the year 2023 that has just passed is the "Year of Consumption Boost".
I saw the news again that the "2024 National Online New Year's Festival" is from January 18th to February 17th.
These messages are really unattractive to me who is pursuing a simple life. Maybe it's the age factor? Since I retired, I basically didn't buy anything except for the necessities of life. Can material things bring happiness? The answer is yes. But some of the dispensable things bought back require a lot of time and energy to be placed and taken care of, occupying space at home, which will cause some unhappiness in the heart. I simply don't buy non-essential items.
I remember two years ago, when I was still working, there was a time when online shopping was all the rage in our office. Some people buy something online or offline, and other people, of course, including me, don't ask whether they really need it or not, whether they start it at 3721. Whether it's affordable or novel, you can always find a reason to buy these things, and it seems that you can't reach a piece with everyone if you don't buy them. Just keep buying, buying, buying: buy clothes for yourself on March 8, buy sportswear for the long holiday in May, 618 carnival buy affordable, and there are the next doubles.
Ten. 1. Singles' Day always fills the shopping cart in advance. With these offers**, emptying your shopping cart is like making a fortune.
Until one day, my son came home from vacation and said, "There are too many things that I don't need at home", "I remember when I was a child, my mother liked to read".
When I retire, I clean up my clothes, some of them still have tags, and some of them just wear them once or twice and then put them away. Resolutely dispose of the dispensable things at home. The space was bigger, and I felt that my heart was much brighter, and after that, I started a new way of life.
Now, reading, exercising, and traveling have become the main theme of my life, and it has been two years since I lived such a simple life. It used to be happiness, but now it can be said to be happiness.
The fullness of the heart is really not something that can be given by external materials.
