Family together, happy gathering.
When the New Year comes, everyone is always generous.
is usually stingy and tight, but the New Year is like money;
Hoarding money on weekdays, gathering together during the Spring Festival, the joy continues.
In just a few days, tired and empty, the New Year was happy, but the future was sad.
Writer Lian Yue pointed out that the Chinese New Year is the peak period of pressure, comparison, and expenses.
The more luxurious the New Year, the tighter the coming year.
During Chinese New Year, please restrain your generosity.
Shopping frenzy, stockpiling trend.
According to Tmall, the New Year's shopping festival has become a double.
Ten. 1. Another major consumption event after Double 12.
The end of the year is approaching, and everyone is stocking up on New Year's goods.
However, if there are too many goods and excessive consumption, the Spring Festival will become a period of catastrophe.
Beijing girl Nie Ziyue is meticulous on weekdays, and she is always careful when buying vegetables.
But during the Spring Festival, she couldn't resist the urge to consume.
First of all, the automatic sweeper that is still running well at home has been upgraded to a popular floor scrubber worth more than 3,000.
Then I bought steak, peanuts, Northeast mushrooms, Russian prawns, brand-name wine, ......
Cherries, durians and other ** fruits in the live broadcast have also been hoarded.
From the sea salt grinding bottle used for steak to the beauty utensils of tens of thousands of yuan, they were all taken home.
In just a few days, she spent half a year's savings. Although the heart is satisfied, the wallet is empty.
Many of us have this "New Year's Festival" mentality: we feel that a hard year should be spent well.
So shopping is like a madness, hoarding goods like a mountain, seeing a discount to place an order, thinking about a large number of people to gather more stock, thinking that the new year will be a new atmosphere so to update the ......As a result, it inadvertently weakened its financial resources and made me feel distressed.
But at the end of the day, the New Year has passed, and the days have to go on.
All extravagance will only create trouble for the future.
Set the upper limit of New Year's consumption and keep your purse in order to have a good holiday.
Shaotun New Year's goods, buy after eating; Rational price comparison, not impulsive, not blind.
Cook a few more side dishes that your family loves, not only will you not be wronged, but you will also warm the festive atmosphere.
Simple customs are true happiness.
In "Dream of Red Mansions", there is a description of the Chinese New Year in Jiafu, which touched me deeply.
Jia Mansion is already unique, but the atmosphere of the celebration is still warm.
Just for the New Year's money, 220 New Year's deposit coins were given, with a total of nearly 1,536 taels of silver.
A list of New Year's goods is even more eye-catching: 30 deer, 50 roe deer, 50 roe deer, ......
Silver frost charcoal is selected from the highest grade, 1,000 catties, two stones of Yutian rouge rice, and 50 ...... of variegated sorghum grainsThe total amount of silver and wealth of all kinds of livestock was 2,500 taels of silver.
The reception at the banquet continued, and the troupe sang every night, and once this celebration passed, it was half a month.
In the end, Jia Zhen sighed: It's really another year has passed.
The appearance is difficult on the inside, and in order to maintain the so-called "face", Jia Fu is still trying its best to show it.
However, in reality, the income from the fields has decreased, and the grain cannot be paid according to the ......The Jia family's property has long been empty, and it can't support such expenses at all.
We have a similar situation all around us:
Worried that the guests would not be able to live when they came to pay New Year's greetings, Moutai was put on the table and the seafood was put in the refrigerator;
saw wealthy friends handing out red envelopes in the group, and also pretended to be generous and took out half a month's salary;
Class reunions, friends are showing off, and in order not to fall behind, you squander a sum of money to ask the waiter to settle the bill.
However, in fact, my burden is not easy, and I am burdened with car loans and housing loans every month, and my life is tight.
The heart is painful, but it still has to be maintained; The wallet can't support the face, but you have to pretend that you don't care.
As a result, the New Year's glory has been achieved, but the reality of the New Year has become impoverished.
The economist Veblen once said:
In order to show off himself, in order to save face, he spends ...... in a big way regardless of his own situation
This kind of consumption is actually like a black hole that devours money, making people fall deeper and deeper.
For adults who have worked hard all year long, the Chinese New Year is a big expense.
All kinds of New Year's goods are purchased, and people are exchanged, which is already a large amount of money.
If you pursue vanity excessively, you will inevitably lose reality and fall into financial difficulties.
Therefore, there is really no need to struggle for so-called decency.
Do what you can, don't pretend to be rich, don't be reckless, don't be reluctant.
Only by being practical and protecting your actual situation can you lay a good foundation for the future.
Thrifty favors.
Have you ever had such an experience:
Every Chinese New Year, there is an endless stream of messages from various groups on the mobile phone, and invitations to dinners and parties are constant.
So even if it is not a lot of vacation, I have to be busy with various occasions.
Sometimes even day and night, there is no time to go home in the Chinese New Year's Eve.
I finally got home, but my time was spent on various New Year's greeting activities, and I had no time to rest, let alone spend time with my family.
And the most important meaning of the Chinese New Year is not to reunite with family and share a good time?
As Mr. Wang Zengqi said:
The family gathered around the fire, the grandfather drank, the grandmother did needlework, and the father played with the children.
The elders laughed and laughed, the children chased and frolicked, and the fire in the stove burned more and more, and the smell of the New Year became stronger and stronger.
There are no bustling scenes, and there are no unnecessary social gatherings.
Just a family simply sitting together, chatting, gossiping.
Simple and warm, I think, this is the best look of the New Year.
Reunite with your family and connect with those close to you.
Unnecessary kinship, no need to visit; Boring pastime of the game, no need to participate.
Leave time and energy to your family, sit together, have dinner, and talk.
Or set off some fireworks, take a walk, wish each other well, and enjoy the joy of the New Year.
In this way, it is better than a thousand kinds of excitement, and unnecessary social expenses are avoided.
Mr. Lin Yutang said, "The wisdom of living consists in gradually removing the impurities that are not important and retaining the most important parts. ”
Life is like this, and so is the New Year.
Excess things don't have to be consumed, empty faces don't have to be embellished, and meaningless relationships don't have to be maintained.
Save your generosity, save your energy.
Spending more time with parents and children on a small vacation and spending a relaxed and happy reunion year is the real happiness.
Agree, in this warm festival, may you reunite with your family and meet with joy.
