But why? How can we save money at a very low cost? Because we have to spend a lot of money for such an expensive experience, right? Hello everyone, I'm Thao Charlie. Today, I'm going to share with you a topic related to how we can live an extremely full, fast, but still save money, without having to spend a lot of money. For example, we can still use good clothes, wear nice clothes, go on trips, stay in beautiful, spacious, cool places, and fly abroad. First, I will share with you how we can save a lot of money by reusing and reusing things. For example, when I was a baby, I would buy everything new, from clothes to furniture, then I would buy a milk machine, I would buy all kinds of things. And usually, the price of good products that we buy new is very expensive. I haven't had a second child for 10 years. There are things that I can't use for a long time. I think it's very wasteful. So recently, when I have a second child, I start to spend more wisely. I know that the things for the baby are usually used for a very short time. So it's very wasteful to throw them away. If we buy new things, we usually choose to buy other people's things again. Now there are a lot of furniture and goods, and there are a lot of good things. Sometimes people buy and reuse, they don't use it every time, or they only use it a few times. But it's very wasteful to leave it, so people recycle a lot. I have a lot of high-quality plastic bags, and I have bought a lot of things. For example, the wood of my child's house, if I buy a new one, it will cost about 1.7-1.8 million VND. But when I buy a new item from a friend, he uses it for a very short time, and he resells it on a plastic bag, I only have to buy it for 900,000 VND. I can save about 800,000 VND. I think it's worth it. I just bought a new beautiful wood, but it's cheaper than buying a new one for 800,000 VND. In fact, when I use it, I only use it for about 4-5 months. After that, the baby will practice, and the baby doesn't want to play in the wood anymore. So I recycle those things. If you want to recycle, you have to be very careful. You have to wash it clean, and you have to clean it to keep it new. And when I recycle, I can recycle it at a price of 700,000 VND. That is, I only spend 200,000 VND to buy a very good wood for my child, if I have to buy a new one, it will cost about 1.8 million VND. And when I recycle, I only spend 200,000 VND to buy a very good wood for my child, if I have to buy a new one, it will cost about 1.8 million VND. Can you see that I actually save about 1.6 million VND. As you can see, it's just a simple item. In addition, I have bought a motorbike, a motorbike, which is a list of items that I think we can buy completely. Items that other people have used are still new. For example, in terms of traveling, people travel a lot, right? I also travel a lot, and I usually only like to stay in very beautiful hotels. Most of the 4-star, 5-star hotels have enough standards for me to really like to stay there. So when I book a 4-star, 5-star hotel, if it is in the season that there is no peak, it will cost at least 1.5 million VND. It's cheap, in Hue it's about 1.5 million VND, in Ho Chi Minh City it's about 2-3 million VND. And in the peak season, the price is very expensive. If we only use such hotels, we will not be able to save money in the space. For example, I will use more services such as Airbnb. Airbnb will have many people who know and many people who don't know. I will put the information on the screen here for you to refer to. I will check on Airbnb to find rooms that meet the standards of a large hotel. For example, if you rent a 5-star hotel, it will have a 40-square-meter room, right? But when you rent an Airbnb, there will be houses for rent with an area of ​​40-50 square meters. There is enough equipment in there, TV, and food. For example, when I go on a business trip to Ho Chi Minh City, I will rent a house like that. Its price is only suitable for a 2-star, 3-star hotel in Ho Chi Minh City. And all the benefits I can get are equivalent to 4-star, 5-star hotels. And I save a lot. For example, the last time I went, instead of booking a 5-star hotel, I lost about 3-4 million VND per night. But when I booked Airbnb, I only lost about 500,000-600,000 VND and I booked very nice rooms. I will put the information on the screen here for you to see. So that you can see that we can fully enjoy high-quality trips, 5-star, 4-star, with a very reasonable price. When traveling, I will use websites to find the cheapest plane tickets. For example, Air Scanner, I put the information here. When you go to these websites, you will know that your trip abroad, which company's ticket price is the cheapest. At what time, you can choose the time frame you want to go. For example, the specific time frame. For example, in the past, when flying to Japan was not cheap, instead of flying straight, the price may go up to 1 million to 20 million. Maybe the return is close to 30 million. But when I use Air Scanner, I scan, for example, there are flights that only need to cross the border a little bit through Shanghai or through a few countries in the area. At that time, when I flew like that, I saw that, for example, I went to return, sometimes it only cost 10-11 million. The saving is about 3% compared to if I booked directly. Now, I think the plane ticket is cheaper, but for some countries, you can also take advantage of the cheap tickets through apps to have trips with a very low cost. And when, for example, I go, I will choose to see if I go freely or if I go on a tour, but I usually like to go freely. When I go freely, I need to have the skills of booking a house, booking a room, and researching places to go and have good and beautiful experiences. I usually don't choose places with too many tourists because those places usually don't have the originality anymore and don't have the novelty. I will research on local websites or ask local people, they will show me places to eat, places to play, and I will go to places like that. I usually see that the cost of eating in local places is cheaper than places on a tour and there are many things that we can explore. We also need to have a plan in advance to book in advance. After a while, you will be able to have trips with very low costs. In addition, I can have tips to save money in everyday life. For example, I see that buying food in supermarkets, usually big supermarkets, I see that the price is quite high. So I think I should have a meeting, I usually have a meeting with people in the same area, then everyone will order together. For example, instead of buying 1-2 dishes, we will order 1 box and everyone will share it. I see that the cost is cheaper by half, and the quality of the food is very fresh because it is sent directly to our hands. And usually the quality of the food is also very high because it has been selected. I think this is an era where everyone needs to have a connection. If we buy it ourselves, it will be more expensive, and if we buy it together, it will be cheaper and more quality. For example, if I go to the market to buy shrimp, in Saigon, 1 kg of shrimp like that, the quality is about 180-200. And I go to the supermarket, sometimes it's even more expensive than that for fresh, still alive and quality shrimp. But for example, if I buy it with a group of people in the area, for example, together with my apartment, everyone creates a group to exchange information there. Or people who live in the same area near my house, I can ask everyone to buy. For example, each person will have a source of food with a good price. At that time, I remember that next to my house, my sister-in-law worked in the seafood industry, so there was a very good source of seafood, the quality of the shrimp was very good. Or when I go to the market, I remember that I sent my sister-in-law to buy 5 kg of shrimp, and the price per kg was 100,000 VND. For example, vegetables are the same, everyone buys vegetables together in the farm. Then even functional food or cosmetics, if you ask each other to buy together, you will usually get good deals from stores or places where you buy. I think the way people buy together will save a lot of money and you can still eat and drink well. In addition, there are many other ways to save money. I just want to tell everyone this, because before, when we were in an era where we had a lot of money, our income was good, there was no epidemic, there were no economic problems, we could have been very comfortable in spending. But I think the more money we have, the more we have to practice a smart spending habit. Before, I thought that as long as you make a lot of money, you can spend comfortably without having to calculate and think. But now I think the opposite. I think the time when we have a lot of money is the time when we can easily spend too much and make the most of that money. Because everything is a theory. If you have a habit of saving good money and spending wisely, you can still have a good quality of life and you can still have money for many other things to spend and money for saving. So the habit of spending wisely, how to spend money reasonably, I think it is still a skill that we all need to learn and always pay attention to. Even if we have a lot of money or we don't have a lot of money like Trang. And I think those who know how to spend money wisely will really have a long-term financial prosperity. You can get through the difficult period without being too stressed because you have to buy too many things. And usually when we buy too many things for a long time, when we have money, we are very easy to spend too much. So I don't encourage everyone to be too greedy. We should know how to use it, how to enjoy life and save money as I shared in this video. If you have more ways, please share them in the comments of this video. Thank you very much for taking the time to watch. See you in the next videos. Bye-bye.
