I'm a baby and I already have no money...

I can't help it because my child is small.

I thought so,

I used to shop a lot at Rakuten 😅

This will make it easier.

I need it because I'm busy.

Even though I bought it with that feeling,

If you notice,

Did "convenient to have" change to "must-have" 😂

Even if it is a little high

Because I use it every day.

I'm raising a child.

And I was convincing myself!

But looking back,

Life has not become dramatically easier,

There are a lot of things that I don't need...

Is it really necessary?

Once I started to stop and think

The amount of money spent on Rakuten naturally decreased ✨

Everyone too

What I bought because it was convenient,

Before I knew it, it had become commonplace

No experience?

... Read more赤ちゃんがいる生活は、初めての育児で何かと不安も多く、つい便利グッズや時短アイテムに頼りがちですよね。私も同じ経験がありました。育児用品や離乳食の便利グッズは確かに助かる部分もありますが、「便利だから」という理由だけで購入を続けていると、気づいたらいつの間にか不要なものが増えて家計を圧迫しています。 私の場合、楽天での買い物でつい「これがあれば楽になる」「毎日使うから少しくらい高くても良い」と思って買っていたものが多かったです。しかし、振り返ると、本当に生活が劇的に楽になったわけではなく、代用できるものも多かったことに気づきました。そこで「本当に必要?」と自分に問いかける習慣をつけ、買い物前には代用可能かどうかや一旦買い控えて使ってみることを試しています。 また、この経験から私が学んだことは、赤ちゃんの成長に合わせて必要なものは変わるため、購入前にその商品が今の段階で本当に役立つのか見極めることが重要だということです。そして不要なものは増やさず、必要と感じたら改めて買い足す方が愛着も湧き、結果として節約に繋がると実感しています。 忙しい育児中に完璧な節約を目指すのは難しいですが、少し立ち止まって購入の必要性を考えるだけで、家計はだいぶ助かるものです。赤ちゃん期の家計管理は、無理なく続けられる工夫が鍵。これから育児を迎える方や現在節約に悩んでいる方にもぜひ試してみてほしいアドバイスです。
