Chapter 25 ★Two or three reduce entertainment expenses

If you start cutting expenses from necessities, entertainment should be the first to be cut.If you're looking for a simple life away from the hectic pace, reducing your external entertainment needs should undoubtedly be a top priority.At this time, canceling your nightlife entertainment, returning to your heart, and spending leisure time with your family is a very positive thing for those who seek a simple life. Avoiding some recreational activities can help your finances.Things like going to movies, amusement parks, plays, operas, concerts, dance halls and nightclubs are all activities that cost money.Perhaps it is not beneficial for individuals to do so at first.After all, we have always been driven to do these entertainments, to experience all the things that can be bought with money, and those things we really want to do are often ignored by us.

Recently, I got together with a group of professionals with real power.We talked about our goals in leisure time, and how rarely do we really enjoy those quiet moments of our own.Each of us has a list of things we really want to do on paper.The content of these notes is roughly: watch the sunset.watch the sunrise.Take a walk alone on the beach or through a park or take a trip to the mountains.Chat with friends.Hang around in the bookstore.read a good book.Hang out in the garden.Take a nap.Spend quiet time with your other half.Spend quiet time with your kids.Listen to a favorite piece of music.Watch a movie you like.Spend time with pets.Sit quietly in your favorite chair and do nothing.

We were all amazed and delighted that we had a list of things that cost little or no money, no expensive equipment, and that anyone could get pretty big out of. benefit.Generally speaking, our joy is usually very simple joy. I don't deny that what our little group paints is a typical example.But when I travel around the world and have the opportunity to talk to people who live austere lives, I hear the same stories over and over again.People are tired of being manipulated by the powerful entertainment market.They come to understand that the most precious thing in life is freedom, and that doing less means having more, more peace, more happiness, and more peace of mind.

It is suggested that you list the things you and your family really like to do on paper, and then arrange your life well so that you will have as much time as possible to do those things you like to do every day in the future.
