The Spring Festival in 2024 is also over, leaving me with a lot of good memories, and while I also have a lot of arrears on my credit card, this is the result of my swollen face and fat man during the Spring Festival. Are you going to go through this torturous time like you? Today is the second lecture of the money-saving tricks, which is relatively extreme, so please cross it if you are an ordinary person. But if you're like the same enough, if you're extreme enough, you might as well take a look at the following, I hope it can help you.
The real ultimate way to save money is to be able to find a way to earn some money in addition to saving. There is also a formal job, but it is very helpless, the income in the system is only a few taels of broken silver every month, there are children to support below, and there are elderly people to take care of. Therefore, the ultimate money saving should be reasonable and legal.
There are 4 common ways to save money:
Make a budget and stick to it:Clarify income and expenditure, cut unnecessary expenses, and ensure that basic living needs are met.
Be budget-conscious when buying food:Buy seasonal, local ingredients and avoid waste. Cook your own meals and avoid eating out frequently.
Reduce entertainment spending:Temporarily abandon some expensive forms of entertainment and opt for more economical activities such as reading, walking, etc.
Take advantage of the second-hand market:When buying items such as clothing and furniture, prioritize the second-hand market to save money and protect the environment.
Here's the ultimate way to apply, so get ready for it:
Put down your own face:Simplify life to the most basic needs, reduce expenses by simplifying life, only take the bus stop on the way to work, and take two fewer stops, get off the bus early, wear a mask, take out the prepared large cloth bag, go to the neighborhood next door to pick up some drink bottles, pick them up and sell them on the same day. Don't worry, no one knows you, even if you meet someone you know, you say that the ring on your daughter-in-law's dinner table is missing.
Find a way to eat without money:Produce or grow your own food as much as possible, reduce the cost of buying food, if you have a garden or balcony, you can consider growing some vegetables and fruits, I once did experiments, our balcony is enough for a family of three to have all the normal vegetables in a summer**. If you don't have enough to eat, you can go to a larger restaurant in the neighborhood at night to work part-time as a dish washer, anyway, no one can see it in the back hall, and you can brush the dishes for two hours every night to earn a little bit of home. The most important thing is that the problem of eating for your whole family can be solved smoothly.
Energy Saving:Minimize energy consumption, such as using energy-saving appliances, reducing the time spent on electricity, choosing public transportation, etc., turning off unnecessary lights and appliances, and ensuring that appliances in the home are turned off when not in use, and unplugging them after use. If you make reasonable arrangements for food supply, you can turn off the refrigerator at home. Every day, on time in the unit toilet on the large size, when you come back from work, pour a thermos cup of boiling water.
Strict shopping contents:Avoid buying unnecessary items on impulse. Make a list before you shop and stick to only the items on your list. Keep an eye out for coupons and campaigns offered by merchants, and take advantage of these offers to reduce your shopping costs whenever possible. It is highly recommended to go to the expiring goods section of the supermarket, and you can rest assured that you will never die.
Sharing Economy:Make use of the sharing economy platform as much as possible, not to share bicycles, shared cars, etc., but to borrow directly from your friends, colleagues, neighbors, and even relatives to use. For example, borrowing electric cars, borrowing tools, borrowing computers, finding a suitable reason, borrowing them for use in the medium and long term, and returning them if others ask for them.
Do-it-yourself food and clothing:Try to make some daily necessities by yourself, such as sewing clothes, making detergents, etc., and try to learn to repair computers, replace water pipes, and replace light bulbs by yourself to reduce the cost of purchase. Many things only need to buy the corresponding accessories online and repair them according to **.
Reduced wastage:Change your pants and clothes as soon as you enter the house to reduce wear and tear. At home, you can try to wear some old clothes, or clothes that don't go out. Replace the paper with a reusable cloth or a small towel. Put two bricks in the toilet box of the toilet to reduce the amount of water produced. On weekends, take the children to the library or Xinhua bookstore for a day, where they can learn to write homework and grind time, and at the same time greatly reduce the loss at home.
These relatively extreme ways to save money may require you to make some big changes and sacrifices, and it will take time and effort to make them happen. Everyone's situation is different, and it is also necessary to choose the method that suits you according to your actual situation and ensure that you maintain a basic quality of life and happiness while saving money. I also believe that as long as you can pay off your credit card as soon as possible, this kind of life is also temporary.
