Good guy, this world is really amazing!
is a good thing to be careful in life, but some people are obviously not struggling to implement money to the extreme, but in order to implement money, they have used a series of "smart tricks", which is really jaw-dropping!
toilet paper is dried and reused. Food and furniture are picked up in the trash can, and bath water is used to wash clothes and wash dishes. Almost every operation can make ordinary people say they can't stand it after seeing it!
, "Spend money for things that will be thrown away,
is simply outrageous!"
Kate Hashimoto, a Japanese woman who has lived in New York for three years, has a senior certified public accountant . She belongs to the elite industry in the United States. As early as 20 years ago, her salary was as high as US$5,000, which is about RMB 32,000!
And such a high-income female white-collar worker, in New York, where living costs are extremely high, the monthly living expenses are only US$200 (about RMB 1,300). In addition to food, clothing, housing and transportation, it even includes the real estate tax and management fees of the house!
(All materials are from: "Saving Money and Tip")
"If you can do it, don't spend money. If you really can't avoid it, you must also spend as little as possible!"
Kate Hashimoto is definitely a ruthless person in terms of "deducting" himself.
When she was filming the show, she hadn't bought new clothes in 8 years.
pure cotton white socks have been worn for too long, and the soles of their feet have been ground to a thin layer, which has made the effect of wearing white silk.
The sweatshirt I bought when I was a child was already full of holes, but she still couldn't bear to throw it away.
shorts that I have been wearing for 13 years. Even if the elastic band on the waist is no longer elastic, I can still use it to hold it in a clip!
In order to save $6 a month of laundry expenses and reduce the wear and tear of clothes, she has not gone to the laundry room on the street and used a dryer like most Americans.
Even in order to save water, she takes a bath while soaking dirty clothes in the bathtub, and then scrubs with bath water!
spent a few hundred yuan to get a haircut, which in Kate Hashimoto's opinion is "unthinkable" and "ununderstandable".
It is impossible for her to spend money on "things that must be thrown away"!
is like toilet paper. She has never bought it before. Every time she washes and drys her hands in the public toilet, she will leave the tissue home and take it home, dry it and reuse it after it is dried.
When going to the toilet at home, just wash it with water and soap, and then wipe it dry with the saved tissue!
"If you have free ones, why do you have to spend money to buy them?"
Her toiletries are basically all from major websites and are collected by filling in questionnaires. Toothpaste, toothbrush, floss, laundry detergent, etc. are available!
, "Spend so much money to eat,
is absolutely impossible!"
Even if you eat, Kate Hashimoto can save as much as possible.
In order not to pay the monthly gas fee of $17, she simply cut off the gas and switched to the electric stove exchanged for free gift vouchers.
In fact, she doesn't even use electric stoves often because her food is basically pre-term that is found in the trash cans at the entrances of major supermarkets and restaurants, or a "buffet" that expires for several months or even years.
Kate Hashimoto even uses these trash bin food to make a hodgepodge to entertain friends.
Poor friends eat this food that is not complete in color, fragrance and taste, and it seems that people have eaten. After learning the truth that makes nausea , it is already very embarrassing to be able to hold on to the bathroom and vomit it!
As for going to a restaurant with friends, Kate Hashimoto never thought about it unless someone treats you!
With this kind of calculating enthusiasm, it is no wonder that she was able to buy an apartment in New York, where every inch of land was valuable, and in just 9 months, she paid off the mortgage that normally needed to be paid for decades in advance.
But even so, she still lives a frugal life as always. The apartment with a bright and beautiful surface is actually comparable to a large waste recycling station.
Furniture didn't cost a single amount, it was all bought from the trash can.
Even the bed directly picks up the yoga mats that others don’t want, stack them together, and then lays a layer of bed sheets.
For Kate Hashimoto, spending a few hundred dollars to buy a real bed is absolutely "outrageous"!
Air conditioner, which is very expensive in itself, and the electricity bill is even more unacceptable, is completely impossible to appear in her home!
Be an accountant during the day and pick up garbage at night. Even if your friends around you can’t understand, they still do whatever they want. I have to say that Kate Hashimoto’s obsession with saving money is definitely something that people can do!
, "In my dictionary,
has no shame!"
However, in the documentary "Saving Money", Kate Hashimoto is not the ceiling of the money-saving industry.
What is the point of smearing the paper? Someone can dry the snot paper and reuse it:
Bath water can not only wash clothes, but it can even be used to wash pots and dishes:
The family shares a bath water, even if the water is turbid until the end of the washing:
Even the sauce left over from the meal will be poured back into the bottle and kept for use next time:
You think this is the limit, and then you will find that there are people who freeze the chewed gum in the refrigerator and take it out and chew it again according to the number!
Some people are stingy with themselves and are not much better to their families.
I used to think that the sixth anniversary of the Rafite Grass was too exaggerated with the breakup of Bamao Dumpling until I saw this big brother.
He actually gave the flowers and teapots he picked up in the trash can on his 25th anniversary of his marriage, and also took out the greeting cards his wife had received and changed a few words and gave them again!
Someone has opened more than a dozen accounts in private in order not to let his family know how much money his family has. Although he is already a millionaire, he only gives his wife and children $20 a home use every day!
and even took their family out for a buffet. There were 6 people in total, but they were only willing to pay 3 people. In order not to ask the boss to ask him to add money, he only took 3 dishes for everyone to eat!
These are all pretty good. Some people have even put life and death aside in order to save money.
First, when I was extracting my teeth, I tried not to take anesthesia:
After being rejected by the doctor, I went home to use iron forceps, vacuum cleaner and other simple tools to perform a "private tooth extraction surgery"!
On weekdays, you can’t go to the hospital if you don’t go to the hospital. Even if you take medicine, you buy animal medicine!
Look at this guy's unlost face, it's really doubtful how he grew up successfully under such parents!
Although the above cases are not acceptable to ordinary people, does not advocate or agree with some "money-saving" methods that will endanger your health.
But at least they have not harmed the interests of others, and we can only say "respect, blessing" to their lifestyle.
, "I don't eat banana peels,
Why do you spend money on it?"
But some people's "money-saving" methods are to put it bluntly, which makes people speechless!
They will go to various fast food restaurants, and don’t spend money on eating, but ask for free tomato sauce from others and take it home to fill their bottles.
will also borrow someone else’s membership card, go to the gym to take a free bath, and put on hand sanitizer.
will even bring the gym towel home, and next time I will exchange the dirty towel for clean, and it is called just "borrowing"!
Someone doesn’t want to spend money, so he directly requests the customers in the laundry room to throw their clothes into them and wash them!
Let’s say that this is no longer something that ordinary social ox can do!
There are also people in supermarkets who peel all kinds of vegetables and fruits before going to check out, and they also said with a high sound:
"Why should I pay for the part I don't eat?"
There are still people who don't even let go of the wool for public welfare!
In order to save $12 in laundry expenses, he donated his ink-stained shirt to a charity second-hand store. After the other party cleans it, he spent $1 to buy it back, and even complacent about it!
What’s even more hateful is that in order to save expenses, there is even a beauty salon owner who went to the farm to buy potions for horses to wash their hair. He mixed the soil with cat litter to act as mud film , and made the ointment for cows into lipstick and applied it to the customer’s mouth!
Finally, he said with confidence:
"Many stores use this, which is much more cost-effective than buying it at a regular beauty product store!"
To a certain extent, it is a good thing to know how to be frugal.
Although some lifestyles are too extreme and most people cannot understand it, as long as they feel happy, others cannot blame others.
But pursuing the life you want must not harm the interests of others to achieve your goals!
Otherwise, it is just a cloak of thrift for greedy desires, and doing stupid and bad things!
