After the consumption downgrade, which consumption did you reduce first?

I was the first to reduce my consumption of luxury goods!

In order to buy a bag with a high brand premium, I spent several months of my salary just for what they said was a "classic luxury brand bag that girls must have." I found that I didn’t want to go through the subway security check at all. I felt that the conveyor belt would stain my bag, so I had to handle it with care and care.

In addition to the moment of satisfaction when I got it, it was also left idle in the corner of the closet. It’s not that I didn’t like it, but the feeling it brought was far less comfortable than a simple environmentally friendly cloth bag.

Of course, the specific circumstances and personal preferences faced by each person will also affect the way consumption is adjusted. In addition, after my salary decreases, I may consider the following consumption adjustment measures:

1. Housing expenses:

If my income decreases, I may consider looking for more affordable housing Options such as downsizing, moving to an area with lower rents, or sharing a home with others.

2. Transportation costs:

I can try to reduce my monthly transportation costs. For example, choosing cheaper modes of transportation such as public transportation instead of taxis or private cars, or finding job opportunities closer to you to reduce commuting costs.

3. Daily Living Expenses:

I can review and cut down on various expenses in my daily life. For example, pay more attention to offers and discounts when shopping, reduce unnecessary expenses on snacks and drinks, and reduce electricity and water bills.

4. Entertainment and leisure activities:

I can choose more economical entertainment methods, such as free outdoor activities, discount days for cultural and art exhibitions, etc., to replace expensive entertainment activities and travel.

Reducing consumption reduces economic pressure. Excessive consumption often leads to financial stress and debt burden. By downgrading consumption, you can avoid unnecessary expenses and save more money, thereby reducing financial pressure and achieving financial freedom.

Also enhance spiritual satisfaction: The satisfaction brought by material consumption is often short-lived, while inner satisfaction and spiritual wealth are more lasting. A low-material life allows you to focus on your inner needs and cultivate spiritual satisfaction.
