Self-development also includes the financial sphere - without this, nowhere in our time.
The simplest principle that will help you take your financial situation into a tight knit is minimalism.
This is not minimalism from fashion trends - we are talking about reasonable minimalism, which means that you do not need to live in an apartment the size of a coffin and own only a mattress.
The fact is that society and marketers constantly impose something on us. Supposedly we have to correspond to someone or something, which means that we need to buy this, this and that.
In order not to fall into the trap of endless consumption and the pursuit of fashion, we bring to your attention two questions that you need to ask yourself before buying something:
1. Do I need this?
2. Will it improve my quality of life in the long term?
The first question concerns little things - crazy sneakers, kitkats, key rings, stripes and other "garbage", which, it would seem, is worth a penny.
And the second question you need to ask yourself when it comes to some global things: phone, car, home.
For example, if you bought a phone a year ago and it performs its function perfectly, then believe that you have absolutely no need for a new iPhone.
Or if you already have a good car, why would you sell it and borrow a new one to impress your friends? After all, this money can be used much more wisely - to invest, for example.
If you want to be financially free, you should avoid overconsumption. Don't buy things “just because” or because you “don't fit” your social circle.
Make sure that every purchase you make is made with a specific purpose and you are not wasted on trash. Good luck!
