This article will give you ideas that will allow you to spend more money on things that matter to you and significantly less on things that don't matter. significant role in your life. Adhere to the principle of simplicity - do not complicate what can be done simply and at lower cost. Below are 5 good tips (but this doesn’t mean you have to follow them all at once). The essence of all the tips is one thing - set barriers that will prevent unnecessary spending of your family budget. The fact is that many of our purchases are impulsive and spontaneous. In other words, made according to the principle: “saw-wanted-bought-then regretted it.” Therefore, the best way to reduce the amount of money spent on such purchases is to establish mental barriers and man-made barriers that will prevent you from spending “on emotions”. So, here's how to stop spending money on unnecessary things (5 good tips): 1) Leave your credit card at home Otherwise, having a large amount of unattended, free money “on you” will inevitably “turn” your head. Especially at the sight of another dazzlingly beautiful trinket. 2) Do not use a cart in the store. They are now specially made in huge sizes so that you would be ashamed to approach the checkout with an empty cart (not piled high with all sorts of necessary unnecessary items). Instead of a cart, take a regular basket - this way you will buy less (and, accordingly, save more money for the things that really matter to you). 3) Limit your trips to the grocery store to 1-2 times a week Food is an expense that can be incredibly easy to get out of your control. Therefore, minimize the time you spend in the grocery store, which smells so temptingly of delicious food. And be sure to make a shopping list (for example, based on a pre-made meal plan for the week). 4) Prepare a menu at home for the week. Plan all family breakfasts and dinners in advance, select recipes for 7 days and, based on them, draw up a food purchasing plan. Another little trick - cook a lot at once (for example, a large pot of soup): And what you didn’t eat in one evening, freeze and eat closer to the end of the week. This way you will save time on cooking, and you will always have a supply on hand quickly - heated food for hungry households. 5) Wait 48 hours If you still see something that you really want to buy, then agree with yourself that you will do it after 2 days (i.e. exactly 48 hours). If after 2 days the desire to spend money does not let you go, then feel free to buy. Most likely, you really need it! ADDITIONAL: Read my other article “Where NOT to invest your money?
