"Buy the best in the scope of ability", it is not necessary to

Author:Simple psychology Time:2022.06.24

Some time ago, I finished the pierced ear, and I habitually opened Taobao and purchased a bunch of good -looking earrings. Dozens to hundreds of pieces were available.

When preparing an impulse to place an order, there are suddenly some thoughts in my head: "Some face shapes that really are not suitable for your own" "A normal earrings need hundreds of dollars, will it really wear it every day?" Although the strong is beautiful, it is a bit too daily "...

After thinking for a few seconds, I didn't chop my hand after all. Later, I shared this little thing at the topic of the topic.

More than a year ago, I might not have thought of it myself, saving money, cost -effective or even not buying, has become the main theme of my shopping this year.

Therefore, we carefully summarized the truth that this year was understood in consumption and shared these 6 words of mind, I hope we can buy and buy more rationally in 2022.

Every time Apple sends a new product, it is a big test for my consumption.

Take the MacBook Pro released a while ago, the MAGSAFE of the MACBOOK PRO released by it, the super high -contrast MINI LED screen, the super M1 Pro chip, the retro design, the ultra -long battery life, the re -returning Magsafe ... each of which makes me want to stop (except Liu Hai). If it wasn't for the starting price of 14999 yuan to curb my enthusiasm for impulse consumption, I really want to buy one!

But think about it, even if you don't consider the price, I don't need to buy it at all!

Its screen is great, but I do n’t need an external display at work; its configuration is very powerful, but I do n’t cut the video and do n’t design it. The company ’s MacBook Air is completely enough for me. There is also a MacBook Pro 2017 in my house. Occasionally, the temporary work of dealing with holidays is more than enough. There is no need to buy a new computer.

Thinking about this problem, there is no need to spend this money.

Many similar consumption impulses this year were dispelled by conclusions such as "I don't need to".我也是在一次又一次的挣扎中，想明白了“想要”和“需要”之间的差别——我们可以“想要”很多东西，最新的电脑、手机，贵价的衣服、鞋子，高端Guitar and headphones, endless small appliances ... I want too much, and the number can't be counted!

But when we want to spend money, we still need to understand whether we are paying for "want" or spending money for "need". The former needs to be cautious, and the latter needs to be decisive.

Of course, it is not a big problem to occasionally impulse consumption. I always feel that buying things is a process of rare understanding of myself and understanding myself.

The impulsive and rational alternative will eventually make us know more about ourselves.

This year is a year of deep understanding of coffee. I have always loved coffee, but I started to punch coffee every day. It has a purposeful taste of beans with different production areas and prices. From simply pursuing coffee culture to truly integrating coffee into daily life, it only started this year.

Because of its just need, the cost -effectiveness has become something that has to be cared about. So I found that the joy of a value -for -money beans exceeded the joy of drinking a super stunning but 150 yuan cup of hand rush. It was found that the more skilled the existing coffee ingredients also exceeded the joy of starting the new model.

If you stop here, what you understand may be "enjoying your hobby without a lot of money." But an accident made me realize that although rational consumption was good, but the money that should not be saved could not be saved, such as a hand -controlled hand punching pot.

This is the case. One day at the invitation of my friend, I brought a handbucking device to his home rushing coffee. In order to ensure the quality, the thermometer that has not been used when you buy it. After inserting the thermometer in the hand in the hand, the 500ml 100 ° C boiled water was connected from the instant hot drink water machine. When I was ready to start, watching the pointer climb to 80 ° C, and I would never move anymore again. Essence

At that moment, I suddenly realized that in the past, I was making hand rushing with water temperature far below the ideal water temperature.

But coffee has to be done. Thinking that it is okay to use the kettle, but when I pour the boiling water that has not stopped boiling the pot, the pointer finally stopped at 90 ° C, and when I break the jar and break the coffee, the water temperature has dropped, and the water temperature has dropped. To 50 ° C ...

This incident made me understand why a crowd of coffee is a warm hand -controlled hand -not only because of good -looking, but also because of professionalism. The fact is that input is really easy to go on the disagreement of excessive consumption, but if you are sure that investment is necessary, and hobby itself is just needed, then reasonable investment is the prerequisite for everything.

If you want to understand this, it is actually synchronized with the changes in my life this year.

On my birthday this year, it is also the day when my boyfriend isolation+autonomous health monitoring is over. I thought we could meet the next day. There will be no "accidents" today. As a result, I was talking about it. (A scared me), and then a small, warm yellow light lit up. The original time was just zero. He lit the candle and gave me a birthday in the air. He is an introverted person, but when he faces me, he properly becomes a love talk+ritual BOY: the first time I saw my friends prepared a gift for everyone; I would buy cakes for the holidays on Qixi Festival; On Christmas day, the bouquet picked me up from get off work, secretly sent me Ling Na Belle ...

Recently, I finished the marriage documentary reality show, known as "Goodbye Lover", known as the "National Circular Flossy". There is a link in it that the guests recall the most memorable moments. I ask myself this question. Live: The price of pricelessly at the moment of receiving Huahua; full of expectations when punching in a restaurant ... Everything is not very valuable, what is important is that this sense of ritual can split a gap from trivial daily life, Make love and warmth into life itself.

Many things are bought on Vipshop, Pinduoduo, or even on the fast group. With a few dollars a set of packaging paper and ribbon packing gifts, they will not feel "lost". In winter, I gave him a warm puffy bear's ear hat. He often worn, dozens of dollars. The Christmas trees of the felt collage and the sports equipment of our two are also discounted before placing an order -the sense of ritual is very important, but saving and practical can also be the main theme of ritual life.
