In our daily life, thrift is regarded as a traditional virtue by many families, especially for those families with limited financial resources, thrift has become the norm of life.
However, some thrifting behaviors, while seemingly saving money, actually cost more money to compensate for the consequences of frugality.
Today, I'm going to talk about the common useless thrifty behaviors in life, and see if you have also been tricked?
1. Save a little money and lose a lot of money
As a simple example, in the past few years, in order to save 2 yuan in subway fares, I got up an hour early every day, and after breakfast, I spent 40 minutes walking to work.
In the summer of Chengdu, the sun was already shining at seven or eight o'clock in the morning, and I almost suffered from heat stroke after walking to work several times, and I was tired and exhausted.
If you think about it, it's not worth it to choose to walk for the 2 yuan fare, so in life, sometimes you can't make some useless sacrifices in order to save money.
Second, in order to reduce the full amount and make up a cost-effective stockpile
On e-commerce platforms, full reduction activities can be seen at any time, especially the annual Double 11 event.
In order to enjoy the full discount activities, many choppers will deliberately make up orders and buy some goods that they don't need originally.
After I bought it back, I found that these things were almost useless, and I unconsciously put them there to eat ashes, and after the expiration date, I could only throw them away.
Therefore, when we are shopping, we can't be greedy for a temporary bargain and buy casually.
3. Neglect of physical health
In order to save money, some people usually skip breakfast, or are too frugal in life, which leads to various physical problems.
These behaviors may seem to save money in the short term, but in the long run, they lead to physical health problems and put a greater financial burden on families.
We also need to ensure the quality of life in the early stage of saving money, after all, only with a good body can we have a healthy future.
Fourth, forcibly do not waste
In the process of thrift, many families put too much emphasis on "no waste", such as leftovers, and spoiled fruits and vegetables are reluctant to throw away.
This kind of forced non-waste behavior not only endangers our health, but can also lead to serious consequences such as food poisoning due to the consumption of expired food.
Fifth, the newly bought things are reluctant to use
Use what you buy, don't be reluctant to be reluctant because it's a new product.
The parents were reluctant to wear the new down jacket they bought for their family during the Chinese New Year, and they felt that they had to wash it once they wore it, and it was easy to deform after washing too much.
Every time I go out to travel or visit relatives, I always wear tattered clothes, but I am reluctant to wear them, which is really incomprehensible.
Anything that has been bought for money, we have to enjoy it, and if we put it there, we will only lose its value, so it is better not to buy it.
Thrift is a virtue in life, but not all money should be saved, and excessive or improper thrift is also a waste to a certain extent.
We should establish a correct concept of money: the money that should be spent must be spent, and the money that should not be spent should not be spent.
I hope this article can arouse everyone's reflection and attention on frugal behavior, and in life, we should avoid those hard but useless thrifty behaviors!
