The family didn't expect that the parents, who are all working-class parents, have quietly accumulated a considerable amount of savings over the years, so how did they do it?
Today, I will share with you these habits and learn from them, and I hope you can also save a small treasury!
1. Never impulsive spending
Shopping can bring people a sense of satisfaction, but parents refuse, the brain is hot and impulsive consumption, when buying anything, if there is a question of whether to buy or not,
It proves that this thing is dispensable. Since this is the case, they choose not to buy it, and never blindly follow the trend
2. Don't compare with each other
There are also many uncles and aunts who like to compare in the pile of elderly people, today your family buys tens of thousands of refrigerators, tomorrow his TV is fully functional, and there are others, more than food and clothing, more than a house than a car.
My parents never competed in this kind of competition, and they felt very satisfied with living their little life
3. The principle of minimalism
Mom likes the simple style very much, the daily necessities and kitchen supplies at home can be few, and the clothes are also changed back and forth with two or three pieces a quarter, enough to wear. The style is very simple,
It's not fashionable, but it's elegant to wear. It gives a comfortable and relaxed feeling. Dad doesn't pursue famous brands,
The clothes are all basic, and the clothes are very careful, and they are still the same one after a few years.
4. They like to farm their own land
There is a vacant lot in the courtyard, and in the spring they start to get busy, buying seeds and seedlings of various vegetables, and basically working in the fields during the day, and there is no ineffective socialization.
There are several large water tanks in the garden, and when it rains heavily, the water tanks can be filled with rainwater and kept for watering. In such a summer, we hardly have to buy our family's vegetables
5. Eat a light diet
They usually eat lightly. Less oil and less salt, rarely big fish and meat, every meal is indispensable green leafy vegetables, and they will shop around when they buy vegetables, which one is cheaper to buy.
They often go to the community group buying group, where the vegetables and meat are indeed much more affordable than the market
6. Get fit
It is said that the health of parents is the greatest blessing of their children, and this sentence is really true. Children have to take care of their own small family every day when they go to and from work, so there is very little time for their parents.
Parents' health and their self-discipline are inseparable, they insist on walking and exercising every day, and their hobbies are writing calligraphy and playing chess, and they basically don't have to spend any money.
7. Green travel
Mom and Dad hardly spend money on taxis when they go out, and most of them rely on walking, which can exercise and is low-carbon and environmentally friendly. The main thing is that their range of activities is small,
I usually buy some daily necessities in the neighborhood, and the way back and forth is not long. There are more things in hand, and they sometimes push them into the grocery cart.
8. Care about every little money
Wealth is accumulated slowly, and it is still unlikely that they will get rich for a while, so they will not spend money at will because the amount is small, even if it is 3 or 5 yuan, as long as they don't need it, they will never buy it.
9. Don't invest indiscriminately
In recent years, there are many investment projects for the elderly in the market, as long as the money is invested in it, reaching a certain amount, you can lead the elderly to travel abroad on a cruise.
The amount of investment is different, and the corresponding service items are different, from sending eggs and vegetables to being responsible for the elderly, which is really very attractive to the elderly, but think about it, how can there be a pie in the sky?
10 will not over-maintain their relationships
Young people sometimes need some socializing after work, often a small gathering for 3 days and a big gathering for 5 days, eating, drinking, and singing with colleagues and friends, these social interactions cost a lot of money, but the social interaction of parents is simple.
Their social objects are generally neighbors and a few relatives, and they occasionally send each other a meal after that, and it doesn't cost a few dollars, and the relationship is quite good, compared to our daily treats, and we don't get along very well!
summary
Parents live with thrift and planning in every place, so how can they not save money if they are so budget-conscious? We also have to learn from each other, and with a certain amount of savings, we don't have to panic at any time, and our lives can be safe and stable.
