But in essence, these solutions are still to take Qian Qian Jr. out of our pockets. Just from more to less.
Have you ever thought about solving your own problems and meeting your own needs without spending money?
Alas, the criminal law doesn't say how to write it.
In fact, as long as you use your brain, imagination and creativity, it is really not difficult to do it!
Don't believe me when I say two real things that happened to me ~
Event 1: I want a lifting table!
Last winter, I often felt uncomfortable in my stomach, which was often because I ate indigestible food and couldn't control my appetite.
But I still need to sit at my desk during the break after dinner to learn what I am interested in, but sitting is extremely uncomfortable.
At that time, I thought, maybe I should stand and read, so that I can do things and relieve the problem that my stomach has been bothering me.
How to work standing? -Lift the table!
This answer immediately caught my eye for the first time. I didn't hesitate to open an orange shopping software to check the price of the lifting table. I have to say, it scared me.
I originally thought that the structure of the lifting table was not complicated, and the materials were only wooden boards and a small amount of steel plates or iron, which should not be expensive. Unexpectedly, the average price is actually 200~300 yuan.
Software price
To be honest, the price is not unacceptable, but I consider that the frequency of use of the lifting platform is extremely low, and it will take up a lot of space when not in use.
I can't help thinking. Can I really only buy a lifting table to solve my problem?
Event 2: I want a detachable curtain!
Coincidentally, last summer, when I was reading, my desk was too bright. If all the curtains were closed, the room would be too dark.
If only the lower part of this curtain could be removed. This will only block half of the light, ensure that it is not dazzling, and at the same time provide brightness to avoid insufficient indoor brightness.
When this demand was first thought of, the solution that came to mind at the same time was that curtains could be attached to the lower part of the shopping APP I have seen.
I thought it would be convenient for me to buy a curtain like this.
But when I turned around, I thought, I bought it and mailed it. It's been days. Then you have to install it yourself. Maybe after a set of procedures, I found that I didn't need this curtain at all.
A friend in the back told me that she bought a detachable curtain in summer. After ordering, transporting, polishing and assembling, it will be autumn and winter, and it is no longer used. )
Is there any other solution besides consumption?
Is there any way to solve my problem immediately, timely and immediately?
I looked around and suddenly saw the iron clip for drying clothes-inspiration suddenly came out!
Why should I go further and further?
Actually, my request is very simple. I just need to shorten the length of the curtain to half of the previous one. Then I just need to fold the curtain in half with a shelf and fix it with a clip.
And it took less than 1 minute. Even when I don't need it, I just need to take off the clip and everything will be restored.
I not only saved time, but also solved my needs in time. I also saved money, and I didn't add anything extra in the room, which took up my space and didn't need to spend more time sorting and cleaning.
Back to my first need, moving the table!
I just want to work standing, and enough height+office platform is the core requirement.
I looked around the room and thought for a while. I took a wooden stool high enough and put it on my desk. Then I put my drawing board on a wooden bench big enough, a simple standing desk!

It successfully completed my demand-standing office!
And it can meet the demand immediately, without standing and waiting for a long time for express delivery, because it is a low-frequency item. When I don't need it, I can restore these two things without taking up any extra space. At the same time, I don't need to spend money, which also solves my problem.
Reflection: Why does consumption become our first choice?
After experiencing these two things, I can't help but think and reflect on my daily life.
Living in this era, we are used to thinking that every problem can be bought in the fastest way with tools and professional solutions.
Any problems, that's all.
In the era of high industrialization and consumption, what you want and what you can't think of are constantly created by people.
We are no longer like people before the industrial age, and all the problems in life need to be solved by ourselves.
With the progress of science and technology and productivity, a large number of industrial products have been affordable to the general public, which has greatly improved and upgraded our quality of life, and people no longer need to think or solve all problems by themselves.
But at the same time, the convenient consumption world has also changed our way of thinking. We follow the inertia of thinking and think that all problems can be solved with money.
We often say that the consumer society, businesses and capital constantly create various demands for us, pushing us to consume and spend money.
So have we ever reflected, in such an environment, have we unconsciously been labeled "All problems are solved with money the fastest and most convenient!" "That thought seal?
Does this, to some extent, bind us closely with the wave of consumerism in this era? Let us, as small individuals of this era, jointly create this era of consumption?
But in fact, is consumption really the quickest, simplest, most convenient and most cost-effective way to solve all the problems in life?
When we take a step back and break the mindset, can we find some more creative, interesting, convenient and flexible solutions to problems?
As far as the two things I have experienced are concerned, I think creative methods may solve my problems faster and more conveniently than consumption, and there is no need to create more consumption.
Step back and reflect on life. Maybe when we see our problems, we can have a clear understanding.
Tips When you have some problems and needs and want to save money or spend less money to solve them, this tip may help you!
1, restore your most essential needs
Basically, what do you want to achieve?
Thinking about your most basic needs will help you find a solution.
2. Grab everything available around you.
Many items can be given more possibilities besides their own uses. Using all the available things around you, you may be able to achieve your goal skillfully.
Try it, you can solve and deal with your problems and needs when you spend little or no money in your life ~
So:
The ultimate money-saving coup-use creativity instead of buying!
Ps: These creative methods are not perfect. If my demand is 100, then these solutions can probably pass 60 points.
But because my demand is temporary and low-frequency, I think these methods can meet my requirements.
I am by no means completely opposed to buying solutions to problems directly with consumption. For high-frequency requirements and demanding and demanding requirements, buying professional tools may be a safer, more convenient and more cost-effective choice.
So please be sure to choose the solution according to the actual situation!
Goodbye ~
