Save money by not giving in to every whim.

Postby astutimeliana723 » 04 Jun 2023, 23:26

I often do this method, if I want new clothes then I will remember that there are still lots of good clothes in my closet that are rarely worn. So that I can resist my desire to buy new clothes. If I want to eat out, I remember that at home I also have food that is no less delicious. So that I can resist my desire to snack outside. Because the desire is endless, if it continues to be followed it will make us very consumptive and wasteful. What do you think?

It is a sort of mental power, you train your brain to find answers to your spending desires. It works and I often do that too, it helps me to save money and I end up realizing that the item wasn't that needed.

What you say is very likely to be true, but I love impulse buying (especially online). No matter what I am doing online I can depend on being distracted by well done advertising and keep a stash of Amazon Gift Cards that make it seem like getting stuff for free.

That's right, sometimes it seems frugal. Even if we don't buy it, it will be more efficient because our money is intact. :D

When you are able to control your desire, you would definitely be able to save money.

When I find something I like online, I usually put it in the basket and let it there, as I don't buy it immediately nor in the coming days, often the brand send me messages with discounts. If I am really interested at least I have earned a discount.

It all deals with self control, how well you are able to control your desire influence your savings greatly ..I am still trying to work on that but sometimes I still fall for it.

If you want to imbibe a good saving habit, you need to be very disciplined.

Ahaha, my hobby is to put the items I want into the basket on my online shopping site, up to 50 more, LOL But sometimes I don't buy until the stock runs out, that means if I follow every wish I will tend to be very wasteful.

That is a diplomatic strategy. You didn't challenge him but you tactly delayed it till the stocks ran out.

Because actually when I think about it, it's just a wish that isn't that important, so I'm fine even if I delay or even don't buy it because the stock runs out. :D

Sometimes we don't make money daily or all the time. We need to do same. We just have to change from spending more to saving more.

I think we should learn and get used to spend less than what our earnings are. With that being said we could be able to save a little by a little.

That's right, sometimes we don't always make money all the time. So we have to be wise in spending the money we have, that is, by not indulging in any unnecessary desires.

This can also be seen as knowing your needs from your wants. Most of the things we buy are usually the thing we want but we do not actually need them. Once we have been able to know our needs from our wants, we can be able to control what we buy and when to buy them.

I used to crave so much for biscuits that no food can satisfy me without taking biscuits. I had to sit down and calculate how much I spent on biscuits daily for a whole month and I had to kill that cravings..

Humans are adventurous in nature but one has to learn how to control himself to live well, save money and save his or her life.

I really like coffee, I can drink coffee every day if I have stock at home. So I overcome it by not keeping a stock of coffee at home, I buy it occasionally when I really want it.
