1. My reasons to be thrifty connected not only with money
When I set foot on the economy the way it had to do with finances. But cutting spending - one of the reasons why thrift firmly established in my life.
Firstly, it helps me to be quiet. I can not feel stress because of money. I'm not worried that I did not have enough money for food. I enjoy when I find discounts. I like this feeling of peace.
Another non-financial aspects of thrift, which appeals to me - is the value of routine. I used to spend a lot of time planning, experienced due to this stress, resulting in the end in unnecessary expenses. Now my life has a place of spontaneity, but usually structured days, and I just live it without nerves.
2. Frugality makes me better in other aspects of life
A new approach to the money made me rethink my attitude to everything. Now I feel differently the value of all my resources: time, energy and attention. For example, I save money when I buy something necessary with maximum discount. Or do I want a healthy body and spend the time to diet and exercise. In each case, I'm looking for an efficient and effective ways to get out of life what I want.
3. Thrift allows me to be wasteful
Saving on unimportant, I spend money on something that is worth the attention. For example, I valued my hobbies. And to them I allocate money on a monthly basis. Such selective extravagance brings a lot of joy and pleasure.
4. I am not an adherent of total savings
I do not feel the need to be thrifty in every aspect of their lives. Moreover, when I tried to live like this, it inevitably leads to failure, and thoughtless spending.
For me, the economy - it is a balancing act between the reduction in the generosity and unimportant expenses if something noteworthy.
A set of important and unimportant things at everyone. There is no area of life where all have to be thrifty.
5. I will choose a cost-effective and not environmentally friendly, but recognize the importance of both aspects
Balancing between ecology and economy, I made the final decision. Ecology is important, and I appreciate the "green" life. But if it comes into conflict with the frugality, I will choose the savings. For example, I will not spend time and money to fix some things, just replace it with a new one.
6. I write about the economy, to destroy its negative image
Many see frugality as the terrible suffering as punishment for overspending. But for me, the savings just part of life. It does not make me unhappy, and my life - strange.
I want everyone to understand that we should just try to find their way to the economy, which is opposed to suffering.
But for you it is torment or joy?
