Minimalist living | My 10 no-buy plans for 2024
Hikiko
In today's increasingly complex and volatile economic environment, rational consumption and savings have become particularly important.
In anticipation of possible economic fluctuations, I advocate for a more prudent and streamlined way of life.
In 2024, I set myself the "Ten No's" purchase principle, which is not only responsible for personal finances, but also the practice of the concept of minimalist life.
Don't buy lipstick
In today's era of beauty, lipstick seems to have become a must-have cosmetics for women.
For me, who pursues a minimalist lifestyle, there are many types of lipsticks and they are updated quickly, and it is easy to fall into the vortex of consumerism.
I'm more inclined towards natural beauty, less reliance on lipstick, and less unnecessary overhead.
Don't buy a "set of makeup brushes"
There are so many makeup brush sets on the market, but you don't need such a complete set of equipment for your everyday makeup look.
Choose a few brushes that you really need, which not only saves space, but also avoids waste of resources.
Don't buy phone cases
As a necessity of modern life, the design and texture of mobile phones are attractive enough in themselves.
Too many phone cases not only add to the financial burden, but also go against the idea of minimalism.
I will cherish the original design of the phone more than cover it up with various shells.
Don't buy extra makeup
The cosmetics industry is pushing the boundaries of what it can do, but there aren't many products that really work for you.
I will choose a few cosmetics that suit me and avoid blindly following the trend to buy.
Do not buy storage products
While storage products can help organize things, too many storage tools can be a burden in itself.
I would reduce the build-up of clutter by switching storage methods and cleaning up regularly, rather than relying on storage products.
Don't spend the money of comparison
In the consumer society, the psychology of comparison can easily make people fall into an endless desire to shop.
I will stick to my own concept of consumption and not follow the crowd.
Don't seek to get rich overnight
Financial management needs to be steady, and do not rely on high-risk investments to quickly increase wealth.
I will choose a more prudent investment method and gradually accumulate wealth.
Don't buy anything outside of your habits
Consumption habits are formed over a long period of time, and sudden changes are often costly.
I will stick to my consumption habits and not be easily tempted by the novelty products of the market.
Don't spend money that hurts your body
Health is priceless, and any savings at the expense of health are not worth it.
I will focus on the quality of life and choose products and services that are good for my health.
Don't spend money outside of the plan
Budget management is an important part of financial management, and I will plan my expenses strictly according to the budget to avoid unnecessary waste.
Written at the end of the article
In 2024, I am even more convinced of the importance of this "ten no's" buying principle.
Under the pressure of a possible economic downturn, rational consumption and effective savings are not only a guarantee for personal finances, but also a responsibility for families and society.
By streamlining our lives, we can reduce material constraints and gain more spiritual freedom.
