Did you know you could save ¥10,000 over a year with only ¥27.39 a day? How can you stop buying things you don’t need? Here is some advice that may help.
The first step is to know why you’re buying them. Are you bored? Are you lonely? Sometimes the reason why we buy things is really unbelievable, but we can truly work towards smarter money habits once we know.
Then, you need something to do with the money you’re going to start saving, and it doesn’t have to be buying more useless things! Instead, think of planning a trip, dressing up your home, or even buying a new car. When you know that you’re saving towards something specific(具体的), you can say “no” to unnecessary shopping.
Checking what you have is also a good idea. By checking what you have around the house, you will know what you do not need to buy. It will also help you give up all the things you’ve bought over the years that no longer serve you. You can donate, give away to friends and family, or even try to sell them.
What’s more, you can find a new hobby or activity. Shopping takes up a lot of time, when you find a new hobby or activity, you will have no time for going back to stores or shopping online.
Remember you are only human. To err is human. Imagine if your loved one made a mistake with their spending and bought something they didn’t need. What would you do? I think you would forgive them. Please be kind in the same way to yourself.
Stopping shopping is hard, but it’s less hard when you create a plan to stop buying stuff you don’t need. Remember, it’s a work in progress. Keep your goal in your mind—you can make it!
