How To Save Money?




I’m a student, every month I get money for my needs like food, books, rented room, transportation, etc. Before become a minimalist, almost every month I didn’t have any money at end of the month so I mean if I got 500 dollar for a month I have no remain in the end of month. It was hard to save money. I wonder how can I spend money on things ? I’m an introvert so I’m so comfortable if I stay in my room alone rather than go outside or hang out with friends so I mean I don’t spend my money on buying things or meal while hanging out with friends because I don’t like hanging out.

Being a minimalist can help me to overcome my issue with money. I just apply minimalism lifestyle into my habit but the effect is amazing. Since being a minimalist, every month I divide my money into several “accounts” for example; meal account, book account, transportation account, etc so I can handle my spending. Here, I’m telling you that minimalism helps me to handle my financial a lot. Tips from me is when you get the money or paycheck, save it right away at least 15% and if you can do it, just forget that you just save the money. It helps you to stay away from the money.

Another thing which can help you to save money is stop shopping. For girls it’s heaven when you can enjoy mall trip and window shopping or maybe you get a nice top. Just shop when you need. Don’t ever put attention on sale but if you need something on sale, it would be a great deal. And some of you maybe like to cook. It’s a great idea to cook your meal before go to school or campus or even office. You can cook your meal at home to save money and it’s health.

If you have ability to do DIY, it’s a great thing too. You can create a thing which have multiple benefits. You save your money! Or you can buy things which have multiple benefits. Believe me you can save your money and you have a creativity to create a thing to be an amazing thing through DIY.


For me, the reason why I save money is I want to spend my money on experiences not things.

No Negativity on tattoos

Image
design and pict by Canva Some of societies have their own perspective on tattoos, some like it and some refuse it. If you are from those societies who refuse the existence of tattoos this is the right place to read because i'm going to tell you my story. I want to have a tattoo because the picture that I’m going to put on my body it means a lot for me. That pict is the depiction of my life. Sometimes i can’t tell anyone how I feel  beacuse it’s very privacy. But the way people reacted to my decision on having a tattoo was like this world would end. so, the first oneI told that I wanted to have tattoo was my mother. The way I told how desire I was to have tattoo was just like a joking and my mother didin’t take it so serious but then after many times I told my mother how desire I was to have it, my mother noticed it that this was serious and also this was the same way I told my sister and she noticed it too. Then my mother just gave  an anger explanation t...

Reward Yourself

Image
So, honestly I don’t know if this gonna works to everybody because this is my personal thing that I do to myself and also this is very helpful when I feel down and I can break it down, so it means I deserve a gift. Here I don’t hope to someone who will give a gift to me, I will go to somewhere that I want or buy something that I want. On the other hand if I completely accomplish my goals and have been discipline and being nice I will do this too. Yes rewarding myself. Nothing wrong to be proud of yourself and reward yourself. Back to discipline, it teaches you how to keep on your goals so everything you sacrifice for in the end you deserve a gift. If you keep focusing on your goals it means you have a ton of motivation (everyday may be) to reach your goals and also it means this way keeps you keep motivating because you know there’s something special in the end. I can say that rewarding yourself is the form of respect to yourself and this is so very important. You have to resp...

4 spots where you can declutter from

So for me the best place where you can declutter is the place where you go and fro frequently at home. I think if you look at that spot which is clean and tidy it would encourage you to do the next spot where you can declutter for the second time. But it’s up to you if you want to declutter the spot you like the most in your home. Also on this post I am going to list down the spots that I think we go and fro frequently in our home also (I think) these spots is the best start from you the beginner of being minimalist. So first I have some tips when you are doing decluttering, I know it’s hard to make decision that you have to remove everything you have, probably because those things are your favorite things and you don’t use them anymore or because those things have incredible memories, for me to keep the incredible memories it worth to keep it only in my mind or if you have photos you can scan them keep them on your computer or laptop. So here I want to assert that you have to ...
