An expert has listed expenses that, if avoided, will allow you to save a decent amount of money.
Editor-in-chief of the educational platform UPGrade Sergey Vereskov named the usual and optional daily purchases of many people.
The expert shared his comments on this topic with the publication “ Gazeta.Ru ”.
Coffee
Vereskov gave the example of buying a cup of coffee every day on the way to work.
With an average price in Moscow of 200-300 rubles per month, about 6 thousand rubles are spent. Sometimes this amount can be even more. In a year, it already comes to about 72 thousand rubles.
If you take into account frequent trips to cafes, the final amount increases even more.
Promotions and sales
Often people are tempted by promotions and sales, stocking up on products “in reserve”, but in the end they don’t have time to use everything.
Seductive advertising makes customers buy products and things that they had not even thought about before going to the store.
Impulsive purchases make up a significant portion of unnecessary expenses. And this applies not only to food, but also to various things: clothes, books, interior items, etc.
Constant race
As soon as you manage to put aside some money, a new smartphone or other gadget comes out. Many people immediately rush to buy it, although the old equipment still works perfectly.
“In fact, perceiving gadgets as status items is no longer very relevant,” Vereskov emphasized.
The item should be stylish and “advanced”, but not necessarily ultra-fashionable.
Earlier, Roskachestvo warned about hidden defects in display samples of equipment.
