How to save money in life? Not everything is as new as possible. It is reported that buying some second-hand things will greatly reduce the chances of being attacked by toxic substances, save money and kill two birds with one stone. Let's see how to save money in life!
How to save money in life 1 furniture
The harmful substances produced by new furniture, mainly free formaldehyde, are easy to cause dizziness, nausea and other discomfort, and may even cause cancer. After new furniture is used or left vacant for 3~6 months, harmful gases will basically evaporate. Buying second-hand furniture can avoid environmental pollution.
book
Some books don't use environmentally friendly ink, especially some pirated books. Ink thinner is irritating and toxic to skin, and ink contains lead, which will weaken human immunity. Second-hand books do not have the above concerns. As time goes on, harmful substances will gradually disappear.
children garment
A baby's colorful and expensive clothes may hide a health crisis. The child's body is very delicate. If you inhale formaldehyde from clothing dyes, you are prone to fatigue, insomnia, headache, cough and other symptoms. Long-term skin exposure to formaldehyde can also cause a rash. Second-hand clothes are washed repeatedly, and harmful substances such as formaldehyde will be washed away. Therefore, for the baby's health, the best way is to "pick up" the clothes left by friends and children around you.
automobile
The harmful substances emitted from the new car have a great influence on the human body, mainly including dozens of harmful substances such as benzene, toluene, xylene, formaldehyde, inhalable particulate matter, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, bacteria and mold, which is also the reason why many people feel dizzy when driving a new car. Need to be reminded that used cars within one year may also be in danger of pollution. It is recommended to buy a used car for three or four years.
fitness equipment
Many people will feel like this when using brand-new treadmills and massagers, "I don't know where it squeaks" and "it's hard." Like a new car, fitness equipment needs running-in. After three to six months, all parts can run freely after running in. Therefore, as long as the parts are not lacking and the functions are normal, second-hand fitness equipment is the best choice.
Please think twice before you buy the following second-hand goods.
Vehicle seat
In traffic accidents, car seat injury is a very common phenomenon. It is not recommended to buy second-hand seats. It is difficult for us to know the past use background of these seats. If some parts of these seats (including instruction manual) have been lost, damaged or recalled, it will be very dangerous to use these seats. Plastic aging, cracks caused by long-term compression, and even collisions that have occurred may bring hidden dangers to second-hand seats, resulting in their failure to play their due protective role in traffic accidents. In addition, if you want to buy a second-hand child seat, you should carefully check the seat that has been used for more than 5 years to ensure safety before using it. You should not buy a car seat that has exceeded its maximum service life.
helmet
Just like a car seat, the role of a helmet is to prevent accidents. A study on motorcyclists and motorcyclists wearing helmets found that people who don't wear helmets are three times more likely to suffer head injuries than those who wear helmets. After the collision accident, the strength of the materials used in the second-hand helmet was destroyed, which weakened its due protective function. Even if it has a good appearance, its safety performance is much lower. Since it is impossible to infer whether the internal structure of the helmet has been destroyed, it is necessary to choose a new helmet wisely.
laptop
Most of the second-hand notebook computers are worn, ranging from small scratches to large keyboard surfaces. The serious performance is that the shell is broken and the color fades in a large area.
Battery is the largest consumable of notebook computer and has the shortest life. If you use it frequently, it will cause problems in about 1 year and a half. The battery standby time of most second-hand laptops is very short, generally less than 1 hour.
mattress
Think about what you did to the mattress you bought. Think about what it's like to sleep on someone else's used mattress When buying a second-hand mattress, you may come into contact with other people's body fragments and bacteria growing on the old bed. Some cunning retailers often put a new quilt cover on the second-hand mattress to cover it up. Of course, some used mattresses can be considered. When the "used" mattress is actually a mattress that has hardly been used, such as a mattress taken out of a guest's room that is rarely visited, then you can consider buying it.

1, not blind consumption
Nowadays, pregnant women's goods emerge one after another. Faced with the overwhelming advertisements and dazzling array of commodities, expectant mothers should realize that some advertised commodities may not have the advertising effect, while some commodities are not essential for pregnant women. Expectant mothers must be cautious, learn more about pregnancy-related knowledge and buy necessary products. Pregnant women must not wear too much makeup during pregnancy, which not only wastes financial resources, but also causes harm to pregnant women and fetuses.
2. Buy second-hand relatives and friends
Maternity clothes and other clothes will not be worn after pregnancy. Buying too much is a waste. You can buy suitable maternity clothes from relatives and friends, and your husband's clothes can also be changed into maternity clothes. In addition, some pregnancy books and prenatal music can also be borrowed from others or downloaded from some parenting websites.

Online shopping and group buying are very popular shopping methods now. Shopping in this way can not only save a lot of money, but also buy some goods that cannot be bought locally. Pregnant women can also buy goods in this way.

Step 5 buy insurance
Some couples have no time to manage money because they are busy with work or are conservative and afraid of investment risks, so the extra money every month is directly deposited in the bank. For pregnant families, such a single way of saving is not desirable. The cost of raising a baby is high. It is very inefficient to prepare living expenses or education funds for your baby only by monthly surplus. If you only save and don't invest, you will encounter the problem of depreciation caused by inflation in the future.
At this time, you can buy some insurance items for your baby and family, so that your future life can be guaranteed!
