Life's been much better since I stopped doing this. ✨

Well, last year, Fern intended to himself that 2026 would spend more consciously "reducing" purchases of anything that overpriced every category.

- Clothing

- Food, drink

- Cafe, place

- Makeup, Skin Care

In the past six months, there have been things that fern has stopped buying almost 100%, but some have dwindled.

And everyone? There's something targeted and done. Let's share it.

... Read moreในช่วงหลายเดือนที่ผ่านมา ฉันได้ลองใช้วิธีลดการซื้อของที่มีราคาแพงจนเกินจำเป็น เช่น เสื้อผ้าที่ราคาเกิน 1,000 บาท เครื่องดื่มราคาโหดในคาเฟ่ รวมถึงเมคอัพและสกินแคร์แบรนด์เนมต่างๆ ซึ่งก่อนหน้านี้ฉันมักจะซื้อของเหล่านี้ตามใจชอบโดยไม่คำนึงถึงงบประมาณ หลังจากเริ่มมีสติในการใช้จ่าย ก็รู้สึกได้เลยว่าชีวิตดีขึ้นจริงๆ หนึ่งในไฮไลต์ที่ช่วยได้มากคือการเปลี่ยนมาซื้อของที่คุณภาพดีในราคาที่จับต้องได้ อย่างเช่น รองเท้าราคาไม่ถึง 200 บาทที่หาซื้อในร้านค้าออนไลน์ นอกจากจะประหยัดแล้วยังใส่สบายสำหรับการเดินทางระยะไกลได้โดยไม่เจ็บเท้า ต่างจากที่เคยจดจ่อแต่กับแบรนด์แพงที่ไม่ได้จำเป็นจริงๆ เครื่องดื่มและคาเฟ่ที่ราคาพุ่งสูงอย่างไม่สมเหตุสมผล ก็เป็นสิ่งที่ฉันเลือกลดการไปบ่อยลง จากที่เคยไปทุกวัน ลดเหลือเพียงสัปดาห์ละ 1 ครั้งเท่านั้น หรือบางทีก็เลือกซื้อน้ำดื่มหรือเครื่องดื่มที่ราคาเหมาะสมและร้านที่คุ้มค่าแทน ในเรื่องสกินแคร์และเมคอัพ จากที่เคยต้องตามซื้อของใหม่ๆ เพื่อรีวิวและความอยากได้ ก็เปลี่ยนมาเลือกใช้เฉพาะสินค้าที่จำเป็นและเหมาะกับสภาพผิวจริงๆ ซึ่งช่วยลดปัญหาของตกค้างและลดการใช้เงินฟุ่มเฟือยด้วย ประสบการณ์นี้สอนให้รู้ว่าการตั้งเป้าหมายเรื่องการใช้เงินอย่างมีสติไม่ได้หมายความว่าจะต้องตัดสิ่งที่ชอบทั้งหมด แต่เป็นการเลือกในสิ่งที่มีความหมายและคุ้มค่าจริงๆ ชีวิตจึงมีความสมดุลและมีความสุขมากขึ้นอย่างแท้จริง ใครที่กำลังมองหาวิธีลดรายจ่ายฟุ่มเฟือย ลองเริ่มต้นจากการตั้งเป้าหมายและบันทึกรายจ่ายดูค่ะ เพราะสิ่งเหล่านี้จะช่วยให้เราตระหนักถึงการใช้เงินและปรับเปลี่ยนพฤติกรรมได้อย่างเห็นผลจริง
