A 32-year-old Chinese woman has been news in her country for austerity advice she has given to those who are interested in saving by renouncing all kinds of luxury. His name is Wang Shenai and his tricks have already been seen by more than 500 million people.
"for some people, spending money makes them happy. Instead, I Don't feel happy at all. I feel nervous and anxious when I spend it," he confessed to the South China morning Post. Wang is a 32-year-old married woman with two children who has managed to buy two properties in nine years.
According to her, both she and her husband are able to live on 10% of their salary. Wang, who grew up in poverty, learned to save thanks to his mother, who inculcated the value of money and the sacrifice of renouncing all kinds of temptations.
Wang's first advice is not to spend money on new clothes. Try to borrow it from your friends or family. As he says, money is only spent on underwear because "it's not a good idea to borrow it from other people." However, its budget does not exceed EUR 13 per year.
Another advice is to always use public transport instead of the car. When he can, Wang resorts to free coupons he finds on the Internet to avoid spending on transportation. Besides, they Don't spend on furniture either, because when they buy them they're usually second-hand or when they find them for free.
Wang also recommends not to attend events or events that involve not investing a single euro. With this, his social life is reduced to the slightest expression. He also states that they never go on vacation because that means spending money.
This woman is part of an online group of 400,000 users called Frugal Women's Federation where she shares her tricks saving and spending as little as possible. Her fame has led many to criticize her on social media accusing her of "cheap." "saving money is nothing to be ashamed of," Wang confesses.
At the moment, it is unknown what she does and what her salary is and that of her husband, but her experience in the world of advertising and marketing opened her eyes to spend on what she truly needs.
