Perhaps because I am sharing how to save money every day, I seem to have created a wrong impression for everyone. What do you think about this?
It seems that many people think that I am someone who only cares about saving money and is unwilling to spend it. What do you think about this?
It's not surprising that some fans and friends said: I was a bit surprised when I saw your house buying a robotic vacuum cleaner, and I thought you would be more inclined to clean it yourself. Have you tried this before? Share your story!
Undeniably, saving money is very important to me today.
But I am not a machine that only saves money without spending it.
On the contrary, I have always believed that saving money is for better spending.
However, compared to the current consumer society, my consumption style may seem a bit niche and picky.
Today, let me share my spending philosophy!
·
1) I am willing to spend a lot of money on items that can significantly improve my quality of life and happiness index. What do you think about this?
Of course, I've found that it's within one's own capabilities.
What is this item, everyone's definition may be different.
As for me, In my experience better pajamas and bedding are very important.
Can bring me no less than 8 hours of happiness and joy in a day.
Mobile phones and computers are also very important. Whether they are easy to use or not, and whether I like to use them, determine my quality of life for at least 8 hours a day. Have you tried this before? Share your story!
There is also a desk or dining table at home, which I spend a lot of time with throughout the day, and I prefer to use the style I like. Have you tried this before? Share your story!
However, in my opinion, items such as combs, mirrors, umbrellas, trash cans, etc., whether they cost two to three hundred yuan or twenty to thirty yuan, will not greatly affect my quality of life. Don't forget to share your experience!
What I pursue for this type of item is practicality and high cost-effectiveness.
So, what about the clothes, shoes, and skincare products that many girls like?
That's how I see it.
Adequate clothing and skincare products are related to the quality of life. Going out beautifully every day can also improve one's mood. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
But if the clothing and skincare products are beyond the scope of wearing, they have nothing to do with happiness, so I won't pursue them anymore. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
In my opinion, those items that have no chance to wear or use increase not happiness index, but trouble index.
Spending money doesn't mean buying happiness, but at least it can't buy trouble back.

2) I am willing to spend money on living expenses that can alleviate pain.
Schopenhauer said: The definition of happiness for humans is not to achieve the maximum value of happiness, but to minimize the amount of pain. Don't forget to share your experience!
So, the essence of money making people happy also includes relieving the pain of life.
It's strange to say, I really enjoy cooking by myself, but I've always disliked doing housework.
If I could spend money outsourcing household chores, I believe my happiness index would soar significantly.
That's why when my robotic vacuum cleaner went on strike, I immediately bought a new one.
When I have a robotic vacuum cleaner, I only need to manually mop the floor occasionally, and occasionally I can also ask my husband to do it. Have you tried this before? Share your story!
It saves both time and effort.
During the days when the robotic vacuum cleaner was absent, I once thought with great enthusiasm that I might as well come by myself in the future and save one or two thousand yuan. Have you tried this before? Share your story!
I really did sweep the dust and stick my hair by myself... before I even reached the point of mopping the floor, I surrendered. What do you think about this?
Not to mention the sudden increase in household chores, after finishing the work, either my hands are tired or my waist is sore. What do you think about this?
Without hesitation, I placed an order for a new robotic vacuum cleaner.
From then on, the pain of household chores was reduced by one loss, while my sense of happiness increased by one loss. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
In my opinion, spending money is meant to reduce trouble and alleviate pain.
If, on the other hand, spending money actually increases trouble and pain, I would avoid this type of consumption far away. Have you tried this before? Share your story!

3) I am also willing to invest in my own brain, health, and experience expenses.
Traveling thousands of miles and reading thousands of books is my dream.
Eating healthy food and living a healthy life are my principles.
But I wouldn't say blindly spending money just to invest in these things.
Like now, reading can be done without spending money, so I also enjoy reading without spending money.
If I have to spend money on a book that I really like, then I am also willing to pay out of my pocket. Have you tried this before? Share your story!

4) In short, do not use the above reasons as excuses to indulge your desires or spend money for the sake of it. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
It's like buying better pajamas, but there's no need to have five, six, seven, or eight sets because I can't wear them at all. Don't forget to share your experience!
I love traveling. Before these two years, I also traveled two or three times a year, but I wouldn't be overwhelmed by the lively atmosphere and so-called emotional value, and spend money to stop the car. Don't forget to share your experience!
My family didn't buy books that I didn't read or classes that I didn't attend properly.
In my opinion, these excessive consumptions are all wasteful.
And for me, waste does not improve my quality of life and happiness, I've found that it's just a waste of the money I earned with my life. Have you tried this before? Share your story!
