68-year-old Brother Zhao and his lovely wife, Sister-in-law Wang, are two energetic self-driving enthusiasts. In the golden years of their retirement, they decided to spend a whole year driving their beloved car to explore the endless scenery of the motherland. In order to ensure the financial worry-free journey, Brother Zhao deliberately deposited 100,000 yuan in a bank card before departure as a financial guarantee for this self-driving trip.
This year, they traveled to many places in the country. They climbed the majestic Great Wall, admired the beauty of the West Lake, tasted the spicy excitement of Sichuan spicy hot pot, and walked on the ancient tea horse road in Yunnan to feel the weight of history. Of course, they did not forget to choose some special gifts for their relatives and friends, such as raisins from Xinjiang, silk from Suzhou, etc., so that relatives can also share their happiness.
However, when the one-year journey ended and Brother Zhao and Sister-in-law Wang returned home, they found that the balance of the bank card was only more than 10,000 yuan! Brother Zhao's eyes widened, and he looked at Sister-in-law Wang in disbelief and said, "Wife, look, why is our 100,000 yuan only so little?" Sister-in-law Wang also looked at the balance of the mobile bank with a surprised face, and muttered to herself: "Yes, how can this be? What did we buy?"
It turned out that it was all the result of not keeping track of their spending during the trip. If they could develop a good Xi of bookkeeping, they wouldn't be in such confusion now. Have you ever felt this way in your ordinary life? Because you don't keep accounts, you don't know where to spend the money in your hand, and then slowly remember to write down one by one with paper and pen, and the calculator startled you when you calculate the results, and every small expense adds up to a big number, which is really a river of dripping water.
After retirement, self-driving has become everyone's favorite. Galloping on the vast land of the motherland, appreciating the different scenery, that kind of freedom and comfort, is simply a great joy in life. However, the cost of a road trip is also a significant expense. Today, I'm going to share with you an easy way to manage your road trip expenses – bookkeeping.
What are the benefits of bookkeeping, you may ask?
First of all, bookkeeping gives us a clear idea of where our money is being spent. During the trip, whether it is eating, lodging, or buying tickets, there will be a lot of expenses. If you don't write it down, it's easy to get confused or forget. And through bookkeeping, we can check our spending at any time and avoid unnecessary waste.
Secondly, bookkeeping can also help us plan our trips. Before departure, we can reasonably plan the consumption budget for each stop according to the budget and itinerary. This way, you can be aware of your travel and won't be affected by spending too much. Moreover, adjusting the itinerary in time according to the actual situation can also make our journey smoother.
If you are traveling with a companion and the cost is shared according to the AA system, then bookkeeping is even more important.
In addition to this, bookkeeping can also cultivate our financial awareness. Life after retirement requires more attention to financial management, and bookkeeping is the foundation of financial management. By keeping accounts, we can understand how much we are earning and spending, so we can better plan for future investments and savings. In this way, our retirement life can be more secure and secure.
Of course, bookkeeping can also make us cherish every penny of our trip more and avoid waste and impulsive spending.
As for bookkeeping methods, there are many convenient bookkeeping tools to choose from. For example, mobile apps, spreadsheets, etc., can allow us to record and manage accounts anytime and anywhere. Just choose the right tool for you, and you'll be able to manage your road trip expenses with ease.
