Yes, you heard it right,There is also a psychology to saving money.
Do you often feel like your wallet has a loophole, and the money is always disappearing before you know it?
I vowed to save money, but I couldn't help but want to buy something I liked when I saw it? Don't worry, it's all human.
Today, I'm going to share with you some psychological tips to help you overcome the urge to spend and build a healthy saving habit.
First, let's get to know each other"Instant gratification" is a little psychological monster
It's like a little devil lurking in our brains, always when we see the product we like** us: "Buy it, buy it and you will be able to enjoy it immediately!" ”
Sounds appealing, doesn't it? But the problem is that this happiness is often short-lived, and the price paid is -
Money and time— but for a long time.
Therefore, we must learn to resist this little devil's **, take a long-term view, and think about future goals and plans.
Next, we need to develop an ability called "delayed gratification."
To put it simply, yesLearn to wait and endure, and save what is in front of you for the future to be realized.
It may sound a bit difficult, but it's actually quite simple.
For example, you can make a shopping list of all the things you want to buy and wait a while to see if you really need them.
Many times, we find that we don't really need those things, but are just carried away by immediate desires.
In addition to resisting instant gratification and cultivating the ability to delay gratification, we also need to learn to plan and allocate our income wisely.
It's like a game where you have to divide your earnings into several parts:Some of it is used for daily living expenses, some of it is used for savings, and some of it can be used as discretionary funds.
This way, you can not only meet the needs of daily life, but also gradually accumulate wealth, and enjoy shopping once in a while.
Of course, building a savings habit doesn't happen overnight and takes time and patience. You may encounter setbacks and difficulties.
Such as sudden large expenditures or unexpected expenses. At this time, don't be discouraged and learn to adjust your plans and strategies.
You can re-examine your spending, identify unnecessary waste and improve it; You can also consider increasing your income**, such as finding a part-time job or investing in your finances.
Finally, I would like to say thatSaving money is not a boring thing to do, but a fun life challenge.

By constantly overcoming difficulties and challenging yourself, you will find that your financial skills are getting stronger and your wallet is getting bigger.
