Psychologist: Do you know why you should never wear hand-me-downs to save money?

Believe that a lot of people are not willing to throw away their old clothes, always feel that can also wear a spring and autumn, especially those economic income is not good family, naturally in order to save money and wear old clothes, even if it has been many years also reluctant to throw.

In fact, I also had a similar experience, at that time, the condition of the family is not good, so I developed the habit of not throwing old clothes, sometimes even do not want to throw away, unless really can not wear it, only cruel to throw away.

Later, when I studied psychology, I came to understand the conceptual problem that the psychology of wearing new clothes is different from that of wearing old clothes.

The first is in the pursuit of the difference, will let a person lose the motivation to make money; Second, their values are damaged, into a muddle through life; And then you end up in a situation where you’re not confident and you’re afraid to do anything.

Psychologist: Do you know why you should never wear hand-me-downs to save money?

Defect one: Lose motivation to make money

Whether you’re saving money or you come from a poor family, a person who always wears the same old clothes will gradually lose the incentive to make money. Mainly because, on the one hand, reluctant to spend money naturally do not know how to make money; On the other hand, people’s mood will also change. If saving money is enough, why make money?

On the contrary, those who are full of fighting for life will often encourage themselves by buying clothes. In fact, wearing new clothes is just one aspect, such as rewarding themselves with a meal or a luxurious gift. When one has the motivation to move forward, he or she will know how to make money and change the status quo of life.

If a person develops the habit of saving money, in the long run, they will also wear old clothes as a habit, so that the momentum on the body will be lost, and naturally there is no end to rush forward.

It is precisely because of the long-term lazy state, it is easy to make a person become complacent, lose the motivation to move forward, lack of the idea of striving for the dream, life will naturally become more and more depressed.

Flaw 2: Affecting one’s values

It is true that some families cannot afford to wear new clothes because they are so poor that when they are young, they are asked by their parents to sew the new clothes on and then wear them again.

In fact, these are all understandable things, but to properly persuade the child to understand this matter, if you always instilled the concept of poverty, the child’s values will be affected, to let him know that he can not wear old clothes, but through efforts to earn that kind of life.

If the parents never say anything like this, they just let the children wear the old clothes blindly, which will make them feel that they only deserve to wear the old clothes, which will evolve into a kind of negative and slack psychology, which will affect their values.

Some families even let their children wear other people’s old clothes, so that the children become a “charity” role, which will make them feel that their sense of existence and value is too low, develop a negative psychological state, and thus affect the children’s life.

Defect 3: get into an unconfident situation

Before they saw a video on the Internet, tell a people often wear new clothes and wear old clothes, the difference between the embodiment of the most essential is that he is confident, people often wear old clothes, hard to avoid can fall into highly confident situation, even doubt the life because of this, especially when both compare, face the same thing, wearing old clothes people will be very uncomfortable, complete degree is also very low.

Therefore, no matter what stage of life you are in, constantly wearing old clothes will affect your self-confidence. When one lacks self-confidence, it will naturally be difficult for him to achieve certain achievements, which will make him worse and worse, and even lead him into a miserable situation.

For example, when you decide to interview for a job, why don’t you choose a new pair just to have that confidence? Under the same circumstances, it is certain that people wearing new clothes will be more accepted and more popular, because when one is confident, one can exude certain charm.

To sum up, one often wears old clothes, which is easy to bring psychological defects, such as losing the motivation to make money, affecting one’s values, lacking of self-confidence and so on, which will obviously have a great impact on one’s life.

So, try to wear a new piece of clothing whenever possible, whether it’s your child or yourself, and learn to avoid psychological flaws so that life can be more wonderful, rather than just “old clothes”.
