When I was in my twenties, I felt that money was earned rather than saved, and as time went by, I found that money did not earn more and more, but became more and more difficult, and only now did I know that saving money is equally important.
Before I knew it, I was in my 30s, and as the backbone of the family, I realized that it was really not possible to live without money, and every stitch and thread needed money. Especially those who still want to improve the quality are even more obsessed with making money every day without raising their heads and turning an eye.
But it is said that men are rakes who earn money, and women are boxes that save money. Only relying on rakes to make money, and the box is leaking, this family is also not doing well. If you want to save money, then I really have to mention my mother-in-law, who only has a pension of 3500 per month,
It's only a little more than 40,000 a year, and she can save 30,000 yuan, and on average for a month, it only costs 1,000 to eat and drink.
1. There is no concept of buying new clothes at all
In her concept of consumption, as long as there are clothes to wear in the wardrobe, she will not buy clothes frequently for freshness or to dress up herself, if you think my mother-in-law is a pure housewife, then you are wrong, mother-in-law is not lazy, she just thinks,
As long as the clothes are versatile enough, and they are not worn out, they will not be broken, because they have retired, except for the sportswear they usually wear when they travel, most of them are at home.
It is the main casual and comfortable, only wear pajamas, and wear some simple, generous, and lightweight styles when you go out, and you don't catch up with any trends, and you wear clothes for N years a year, so there is no consumption on clothes on weekdays!
2. Always cook your own meals
I have a friend whose mother is in her 60s, and she even asked him to order takeout and milk tea from the night shift. Compared to this trendy old lady, my mother-in-law is very down-to-earth. Never drink these things, and don't order takeout, we go to her house,
It's always been what time I'm hungry and what time I'm cooking, and there is no such thing as takeout, one is worried about money, and the other is that no matter who owns it, takeout is unclean and unhealthy.
I remember that during the mask period, I lived in her house for a month, and I directly gained 10 pounds, that is, she is the kind of person who makes potatoes very delicious, and she has no appetite for you to order takeout.
3. Make the most of it
I remember many years ago, I bought a tube of facial cleanser for my mother-in-law, one day I went to her house for dinner, and saw how this tube of facial cleanser became shorter.
In this way, those facial cleansers that can't be squeezed out can be dug out by hand and used, and then the lower half is put on the upper half to prevent the facial cleanser from breathing and drying out.
In life, there are good ideas for mother-in-law to make the best use of things, which is also the reason why she can save money, canned and bottled as storage, many things are not to spend another money to buy, spend a penny, but play a lot of roles, want to save money, but also need a smart head.
4. Bring your own when you go out
I went out with my mother-in-law once, and when I went to pick up my mother-in-law, she carried a big bag. I'm still curious, how did I bring so many things, and along the way to the high speed, she let me see how powerful she is, her bag is like Doraemon's pocket,
I want everything, I'm worried that we haven't eaten in the morning, we brought our own eggs and soy milk, and there are all kinds of fruits, peaches and apples on the way, and a big thermos kettle, paper towels, paper towels, pumping treasures, etc., and I bought a few snacks for the children,
This really shocked me, we ate and drank all the way all the way, in the rest area, at most to go to the toilet, and I didn't spend a penny! The mother-in-law said that with these things, you don't have to go out to buy another thing, they are all at home, and you are not tired of taking the car anyway, it is just a convenient thing.
summary
Do you say that having such a mother-in-law can not save money? And when a person reaches a certain age, the money of the people who come and go is indispensable, and she can still save money, which really makes me admire!
