Worth is not measured by "pleasing" alone. 💸

Worth is not measured by "pleasure." 💸

But perhaps more measured by "Do we use it?"

Personally, they have few shoes, not because they don't like it, but they are lazy to take care of it, and they are addicted to the house. Shoes become the least necessary. 😅

🤔 I remember buying the most expensive pair of over 4000, but I can't remember how many times I put it on. But recently, dismantling the cabinet will find shoes to wear, but the soles and colors are too pale. Very confused. I only remember that I bought it expensive (for us, thousands is expensive). 😆

Later, buy 3000 pairs of canvas.

When I bought it, I thought, "I'll wear it every day. It's worth it." The properties I'm looking for, I can't walk 🔥, but seriously...

✔️ wear it a few times * I was going to hang out and the old shoes kept the floor off (again 😅), so I quickly found a new one. I think it will work.

✔️, not very caring, is white shoes, easy to stain, and it is always very confused, very quickly, and the floor has a groove, rubble stuck all the time, come to know the long time, a lot of marks 🪨

✔️ summary. At first, I'm crazy. It's valid for no more than 3 months. * Worn every day I go to work and disperse.

✔️ Finally, the feed looks like normal shoes because it looks old and looks like it's been worn for a long time, 👟🥲 but when it's clean it looks very beautiful, but we're lazy is the end.

While the old pair of shoes are less than a thousand.

It may not be as good a material as a beauty. The brand may be different.

But...

✔ easy to pick up, thoughtless pick, go anywhere, rain, wade through the ground, drizzle.

✔ wear often because Momm is considered not strange, 😂 do not feel anything.

✔. Walking comfortably. Really, Shin doesn't mean not getting tired.

✔ with a lot of clothes because it's black and can wear anything.

✔ is used in everyday life, wearing every day, practically without rest, without washing, without doing anything until many years, not broken once, may have some mind, but mostly focus on the sun

"Value" is perhaps not just pleasing to us, and even if the price is not very high, it does not mean that we are worth it.

💋 It's on "how much of that piece was used."

Before buying, ask yourself these six things. 👀

1️⃣ How many times a month will it actually be used?

2️⃣ to our lives, right?

3️⃣ Are we in charge of this line?

4️⃣, buy because of use, or buy because of the mood.

5️⃣ I bought it when I have an emergency. Is there still enough backup?

6️⃣, do you have to pay off your debts?

Some things can be expensive. If they're worth it, some things aren't expensive, they still regret money. If they're not used at all, ☁️

Finally, the "worthiness" of each person is not the same. 🤍

Some people buy things for a bit because they like to collect.

Some people buy for happiness.

Some people buy because they actually use it every day.

If you buy it without financial trouble, without affecting your life, and the owner is happy, it doesn't mean you're not worth it.

Just for many people who still have a limited income

Choosing something "suitable for living yourself."

It may be more important than buying the best or most pleasant things. ☁️

... Read moreหลายครั้งที่เรามักจะตัดสินใจซื้อของด้วยความรู้สึกชอบหรือความถูกใจในตอนนั้นโดยไม่ไตร่ตรองถึงการใช้งานจริงในชีวิตประจำวัน สิ่งนี้ถือเป็นจุดที่หลายคนมักพลาดเรื่องความคุ้มค่าอย่างแท้จริง จากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวเกี่ยวกับรองเท้า พบว่าการซื้อรองเท้าราคาแพง อาจไม่ได้หมายความว่าจะได้ใช้บ่อยหรือคุ้มค่ากับราคาที่จ่ายไปเลย เพราะถ้าของที่ซื้อมาแล้วไม่ได้ถูกใช้งานหรือดูแลอย่างสม่ำเสมอ คนซื้ออาจรู้สึกว่าเงินที่จ่ายไปไม่เกิดประโยชน์สูงสุด Conversely รองเท้าเก่าคู่ละไม่กี่ร้อยแต่ใช้ได้จริงทุกวันและเข้ากับชีวิตได้ดีกว่า กลับสร้างความรู้สึกคุ้มค่าและการใช้งานในระยะยาวได้ดีกว่า นี่เป็นบทพิสูจน์ว่าความคุ้มค่าแท้จริงนั้นประเมินจากปัจจัยการใช้งานจริงและความเหมาะสมกับไลฟ์สไตล์ส่วนตัวมากกว่าความสวยงามราคา หรือแบรนด์ สำหรับใครที่กำลังจะตัดสินใจซื้อของชิ้นใหญ่ อยากแนะนำให้ถามตัวเอง 6 ข้อ เช่น จะใช้บ่อยแค่ไหน ดูแลได้ดีไหม จะซื้อเพราะต้องการใช้งานจริงหรืออารมณ์ชั่วคราว และการซื้อครั้งนี้จะกระทบการเงินหรือไม่ การวิเคราะห์เหล่านี้จะช่วยให้เรารู้จักเลือกซื้อที่เหมาะสมและได้ประโยชน์สูงสุด การเลือกสิ่งที่เหมาะกับการใช้ชีวิตตนเองอย่างแท้จริง ไม่เพียงแต่ช่วยประหยัดเงิน แต่ยังส่งผลดีต่อจิตใจเพราะไม่ต้องกังวลกับของที่ซื้อมาแล้วไม่ถูกใช้งานอย่างเต็มที่ สุดท้ายนี้ อยากเน้นว่า “ความคุ้มค่า” ของแต่ละคนไม่ได้เหมือนกัน บางคนอาจซื้อของราคาแพงเพราะความสุขและการสะสม ในขณะที่บางคนซื้อเพื่อการใช้งานจริงทุกวัน ดังนั้นควรให้ความสำคัญกับความสุขใจและความพอเหมาะพอดีกับการใช้ชีวิตของคุณเอง
