Money hits the month. Who used to be??

Back then, our financial lives were "bump months" without thinking.

Have money = want to shop immediately

Never really felt solvable.

We had almost no cash at the time.

Use credit cards throughout

Until it forced the purchase of only the store that accepted the card

Ordered Grape to eat in the mall, live like "I'll pay the end of the month."

As a result, it keeps going.

At the end of the month, the salary came in → paid the card → ran out of money.

And then the same loop endlessly.

We used to really installment everything.

Since clothes

Food in the mall

Of in macro

To Chester Grill and Dongey.

Type and still laugh at yourself, haha.

But it was a real crisis. It could only buy credit card stores.

Until about four months ago.

Something in the head, it "changes." It has something that requires us to change ourselves.

Today

We don't have to pay anything anymore.

If you use the card, transfer the money to pay immediately.

Or spend any cash.

Today

Have money to eat

Have money to buy things

Have fuel

Have fussy pay in everyday life

All is "cash."

And most importantly,

There is still money left.

It's not why.

But it's the day we stop fooling ourselves.

And really start taking responsibility for their own money.

Just want to share

In case anyone is stuck in the same loop that we used to live in

It really came out.

As for the solution, we will post the next post.

... Read moreหลายคนอาจเคยประสบปัญหา ‘เงินชนเดือน’ ที่เงินเดือนเข้ามาเท่าไรก็ไม่พอใช้ ไม่สามารถเก็บเงินได้ เพราะใช้เงินแบบไม่วางแผน ซึ่งปัญหานี้ส่งผลให้เกิดความเครียดและความรู้สึกหมดหวังกับการเงินส่วนตัว ประสบการณ์ที่ได้รับการแชร์ในบทความนี้ คือการที่ผู้เขียนครั้งหนึ่งเคยดำเนินชีวิตโดยใช้บัตรเครดิตอย่างไม่ระมัดระวัง ซื้อของด้วยความสะดวกสบายโดยไม่คิดถึงผลกระทบ, ใช้จ่ายเงินผ่านการผ่อนชำระ โดยเฉพาะเมื่อไม่มีเงินสดติดตัว และสุดท้ายรู้สึกว่าตัวเองอยู่ในวังวนของการขาดสภาพคล่องทางการเงิน เหตุการณ์เปลี่ยนแปลงเกิดขึ้นเมื่อประมาณ 4 เดือนก่อน ผู้เขียนตัดสินใจเปลี่ยนวิธีจัดการกับเงิน เริ่มด้วยการ “เลิกหลอกตัวเอง” และรับผิดชอบกับการใช้เงินอย่างแท้จริง โดยเปลี่ยนวิธีใช้จ่ายเป็นการใช้เงินสด และเมื่อจำเป็นต้องใช้บัตรเครดิต ก็โอนเงินเก็บแยกไว้ชำระทันที ไม่ปล่อยให้เกิดหนี้สะสม จะเห็นได้ว่า การจัดสรรเงินเป็นขั้นตอนที่สำคัญ ที่จะช่วยให้คนที่เคยเจอปัญหาเงินชนเดือนสามารถก้าวออกจากวงจรนี้ได้อย่างยั่งยืน ข้อแนะนำเพื่อการเริ่มต้นที่ดีได้แก่ 1. ทำบัญชีรายรับรายจ่ายอย่างละเอียด เพื่อเห็นภาพรวมการเงินของตัวเอง 2. ตั้งงบประมาณใช้จ่ายในแต่ละหมวดหมู่ เช่น อาหาร, ค่าน้ำมัน, ค่าของใช้จำเป็น 3. เลือกใช้เงินสดมากกว่าบัตรเครดิต เพื่อลดการใช้จ่ายเกินตัว 4. แยกเงินสำหรับเก็บออมออกจากเงินใช้จ่ายประจำวัน เพื่อสร้างนิสัยการออม 5. หลีกเลี่ยงการผ่อนชำระหากไม่จำเป็น เพราะดอกเบี้ยอาจทำให้ภาระการเงินเพิ่มขึ้น การเปลี่ยนแปลงวิธีคิดและการจัดการเงินเป็นกุญแจสำคัญที่จะช่วยให้เรา “หลุดพ้น ‘เงินชนเดือนแล้ว!!’” ได้จริงอย่างที่ผู้เขียนได้แชร์ไว้ในบทความ การปฏิบัติตามแนวทางเหล่านี้พร้อมกับมีวินัยทางการเงินจะช่วยให้มีเงินพอใช้และเก็บออมเพื่ออนาคตได้อย่างมั่นคงและยั่งยืน
