After dealing with the mess in my hometown, I finally have time to make a new year's resumption.
Although I am late for the resumption of classes every year, I am never absent.
Yesterday, the official account of Image Cloud WeChat kindly pushed the 2022 annual bill.
With joy and gratitude, I opened this bill full of stories, and a series of numbers took me back to 2022.
First, education expenditure still ranks first.
First of all, the cost of extracurricular institutions (children's remedial classes) is actually not that much. Because of various reasons in the later period, I didn't attend so many classes, which led to a partial refund (about 30 thousand)
However, after deducting the refund, the expenditure of extracurricular institutions still ranks first, which shows that the education expenditure of our children accounts for a large part of the total expenditure.
In the life we are used to, there is always something worth paying, but every family is different.
Second, three meals a day.
The cost of cooking (eating) at home is in a second-tier town, and the monthly food cost for a family of three is between 1500-2000. The month of meals 1500 is because you buy less fruit and meat, and the month of meals around 2000 is because you buy more fruit and meat.
Third, children's clothing expenditure ranks third.
My child is tall and it is difficult to choose the right clothes. Therefore, it is difficult to choose clothes for her. When you meet the right one, you will generally do it without hesitation. Those buying principles such as "waiting for activities", "thinking for a few days" and "giving yourself a cooling-off period" are useless here.
But clothes are not bought every month. I basically bought them during the summer vacation and winter vacation when I had time to take my children shopping.
Fourth, personal investment expenditure ranks fourth.
The fourth personal investment expenditure is the personal fitness class and the membership fee of an app that my children and I reported.
I accidentally turned into a lamb some time ago, which made me understand the importance of health.
Heraclitus, an ancient Greek thinker, famously said, "Without health, wisdom cannot be revealed, talents cannot be displayed, strength cannot be fought, and knowledge cannot be used."
So a healthy body is very important.
Fifth, consumption desire ranks fifth.
The fifth most expensive item is the cost of eating out.
Hundreds of dollars a month, thousands a year. If it weren't for bookkeeping, I really wouldn't have thought that I could go out to eat so much, or I was trying to reduce eating out.
I remember when my children lost weight, their diet was very strict. Although I was greedy and sad, fortunately, my child persisted.
Once, I made a Flammulina velutipes vegetable soup. The child stirred the soup with a spoon and said slowly, "Thin is thin, but suddenly I found that life is meaningless!" " "
Lao Wang and I were stunned first, and then laughed. Later, we decided to let go properly and go to the gym to consume the calories after satisfying our appetite.
I told you, hard exercise is to eat better.
Just as we strive to earn money to live a better life, we can also have money to buy what we want.
The previous year's resumption, I will regret because of impulsive consumption, feel guilty because I shouldn't buy a pen, and even regret because of excessive consumption.
This year's consumption recovery has no regrets, guilt and regret in the past. It can't be said that every sum of money spent this year is worthwhile, but at least there is no regret.
2022 has passed, I hope 2023 will be better for us, and I look forward to meeting better myself in this year.
