How to save German
Residents of Germany are known for accuracy, thoroughness and thrift. It was they who taught the world set aside a small portion of monthly wages.
Basic tricks, allowing the Germans to save:
- Grocery list. Each economic Frau before you go to the supermarket shopping, be sure to compile a list of everything you need. And if in Russia, we can go beyond the boundaries of the list, the Germans - never. No wonder the residents of Germany are considered to be pedants.
- Clothing. It is not made to wear clothes from famous brands, unless it is purchased in a seasonal sale. Germans usually wear something that is bought in second-hand.
-
Communal payments. This is the main article, which allows to save a substantial part of the funds. Erase and use the dishwasher at night here - rates at this time of day is significantly lower than the daytime. To water lawns, German residents collect rainwater. In addition, heating is included very reluctantly and only in the cold season. The usual situation, when the room temperature not greater than 20 degrees.
How to save in France
The French are not inferior to the Germans in the economy. So, country croissants and "La Marseillaise" residents save on the following:
-
Clothing. The French adore various sales. So much so that they can arrange a day off at work to go to the store to shop, while the discount. At the same time, in contrast to the practical neighbors can buy a bunch of unnecessary things.
- Search for travel. No matter where going to the Frenchman - to rest, work, or in another trip - it is sure to be a companion to look for. This is advantageous because allows you to split the cost of fuel.
- Communal payments. This "trick" of all European citizens. So, take a bath in France only on weekends, and on weekdays - limited quick shower.
How to save in Sweden
The country is known for high taxes. Therefore, residents are trying to save literally at all:
- Buying clothes. It is not made to purchase clothing in boutiques and overpay for a famous brand. Therefore, the choice of any Swede - second-hand. In addition, wardrobe Swedes rarely updated. After the socks they manage to sell clothes and shoes on specialized sites.
- Bank accounts. From the very childhood Swedes accustomed to postpone money. Each child's parents draw up a savings account. One of the best birthday gifts are the shares or securities of a large investment fund. Upon reaching 30 years of Swedish residents begin to form pension funds.
- Communal payments. Save on everything here: water, heating, electricity. For example, in apartment buildings common washing machine and dryer. It is not made to buy and install their own "stiralku". The total installed in a special room and all the inhabitants use it if necessary. In addition, all appliances fully disconnected from the mains at night - everyone pulls plug from the wall outlet.
How to save the UK
If you put to bed in a cold bed in the middle of the luxurious rooms, congratulations - you are in the UK. Mistaken are those who think that the image freezing in his own bed Englishman left in the past. This is one way to save money.
The logic is simple and clear: why pay for heating, when everyone is asleep under a warm blanket? And even in winter, the English will not heat the room, and put on more sweaters. The bed is a resident of England grab a hot water bottle with hot water - because it is cheaper than heat the room.
Another way to save - do not rinse in the shower. Here the foam simply wash towel.
On his robe and the British economy, but a rather original way - to buy expensive things, but completely ignore the cheap consumer goods. Thus, the shoes a little, but, because of the quality, it is worn improperly long.
Reference! Interesting article thrift - the transformation of the wife into a housewife, until the baby reaches the age of 12 years. This is due to the fact that kindergartens prodlonki in school, the professional babysitting service in England is very expensive. Therefore, the local mums profitable to sit with your child at home than go to work and pay bills kilometer of childcare.
Ahead of the planet they are planning. Here like to make expenditures for the years ahead.
Savings in Czech
The Czechs came to the issue of preservation budget thoroughly - spent the whole scientific research. It turned out that most of the wages they spend on nonsense. But if you want to reduce costs and can save several thousand crowns per month.
Thus, the main savings articles Czech are:
- Communal payments. This is typical of the inhabitants of the whole of Europe, not far behind the Czechs. Therefore, a common thing here to meet a man with a runny nose, sinusitis - off of heating that helps.
- Caring for the local area. You want to save money? Look for a house without a lawn, otherwise you'll have to spend a tidy sum on the grounds maintenance around the house.
- Products. Respect for the Czechs a variety of events. Therefore, buy products during sales.
In Europe, pending throwing money down the drain, because even the Prince George attends regular kindergarten. Therefore, a rational approach to the expenditure of funds should adopt. This is especially true of reasonable expenses electricity, water, purchase of goods in sales.
If all Europeans buy clothes at second-hand, who buys new clothes, to then pass it on Secon-hand? Probably buy new clothes only Russians and Africans. A thrifty Europeans then continue wearing their old clothes.
That is exactly what is the case in the EU.
He lived in Milan when the grandson was born 3 months and studied the habits of the whole economy of the Italians. Food once a week on viale Papiniano-it is a street where the market twice a week arrives.
Washing machine packed tightly once a week because they have a lot of clothes, are not long bought on sale, second hand market or bazaars. There you can buy a blanket for 1 euro, and so on.
Boiler 1 is heated once a day for three 60 liters of water are poured, until soaping water is turned off the body, and quickly rinsed off from the shower. Dishes are washed in cold water in a basin, wash foam or a thin stream or in a few times in a basin. In the kitchen, all devices are trying to have a mechanical, probably all seen the geyser grinders, Italians cook them in a very strong coffee to dilute the coffee and wrung dry. Coffee grounds are used as a facial scrub. Save them and on the food: breakfast cup of milk with coffee, lunch, take with them (sandwiches or yogurt) full dinner only, rather late. Usually it is half a glass of wine, a salad and then a hot dish.
Italians follows the announcement in a cafe, which serves a buffet of alcohol from 18:00 to 20:00 for 5 euros, a time when few visitors and all those who may at this period of time, be sure to go to the coffee shop to the house is not to cook dinner, do not wash the dishes, and eat plenty of tasty delights. In Milan, in order to avoid traffic jams allowed to ride even numbers of private cars and motorcycles in the even-numbered days and odd numbers go respectively odd days of the month. Italians cooperate and carry each other on a job corresponding to the numbers of cars. You will not see a local resident who sit in public transport on a couple of stops, they go on foot to save a ticket for a longer trip.
So live ordinary working families, but there are rich working in the field of high fashion, where other salaries and other expenses, respectively.
There is no "instant powder" when washing dishes we do not use. This is generally what? Dishes with my hands Fairy or some other similar means of any powders here it is not clear. Dishes shampooed and rinsed in clean running water. Just as they do in Russia, the only water we have nothing not poured. No one hundred years do not wash in the sink with a pre-typed it with water, although cork to plug the drain and hang out almost all the shells, both old and new sample. Discount cards have all over the world and all the people they are happy to use, it is not necessary to attribute this one only to Europeans. Nonsense write, and many believe. Hello from Spain!
Not all Italians are saving on water and heating. But do not pour water without cause, and do not heat up to 30 degrees to go around in T-shirts around the apartment. Thus helping the environment. There are different sections of the population. Just as we do. Stiralka use and dishwashers and other appliances as needed.
All of the above described - is a sign of poverty, rather than saving. We also save, but not so much so.
And how much is the treatment after such "savings"! Not been wiped foam from skin and dishes provide great health problems (same chemistry), clothes from second-hand - from an allergy sanitary treatment of clothes (like sniffing the clothes smell?), scored a fridge and expired products etc.
In my view, the savings alone - to buy what you need. …. Well, except that a little bit of something for the soul, as much joy, and it is useful for health.
This makes no sense.
Another desire obgadit Europe.
There is no such. Maximum water saving, but not to the extent to wipe the foam from the body, and in the Second there dressed only complete the poor. Others prefer discounts of brands and discount brands also.
Here's how not to wash off the suds? How many times have seen a picture - a child from pulling out the foam bath and wrapped in a towel. I would whole ischesalas and covered with acne after such
What kind of nonsense is written by the author of this opus... only what agrees - no grist to hurl. Author - when you have something thought up to write, visit the entih Europe just once.
Yes, we, too, not bling. The vast majority of my friends and neighbors live within your means and do not spend money fool. But there is a saying: "You can do without the necessary, but you can not do without excesses." Sometimes it is possible and shikanut.
Oh God, the temperature in the apartment below 20 degrees... .. It's serious? And how much should be enlighten ...
And that is very characteristic of this nonsense: the author - anonymous)))))))))))))))))))))). Well, enough already to throw d... mo on a ventilator. I'm tired.
Author, you're what? Where you picked up the life hacking?
I live in Germany, so I will not tell you for all of Europe: the whole of Europe is very high ...
But (in my favorite German)
1. I never heard of "dishwashing powders." Most Germans have geshirshpyulery, it saves water, but about water saving nobody here thinks. This saves time and effort! Houses need to rest tomorrow to come to work and graft, graft ...
2. And as it is, to wash in the sink with the drain closed? I can not imagine such a thing. Fantasy.
3. There are no cards with 20% discount, you can really trust me. There are stocks of clothes sale at C & A 20% discount and many (retired) on their pasture, but those who work do not have time for this and have to buy when on the prices at which the work.
4. "Refrigerator full of food." Yes, many people come to the car and the truck filled to the top. 150-200 €, but it is not necessary during the week to spend time shopping, you can relax (again tomorrow to work!) Or take the time to children.
5. "Grocery list. Prepared not to buy anything extra. "
Author, yeah... blab you... I lacked the Russian words.
product list is compiled in order to not forget something important and necessary, and does not stand then in supermarkte like a fool, trying to remember, and why did I come here? Well, no one is thinking about the economy, gladly bought and what is not in the list, in short, that the eyes see.
6. "Usually, the Germans put on what is bought in second-hand. That's just what the Germans.
a. African; b. Syrian; at. Kurdish; city shovels; Well, and finally from the local - the lower layer receiving benefits (not all), alcoholics (not all) operating on low (rarely), pensioners with low pensions (rare).
7. Communal payments. They do not save for one simple reason: they do not get saved. Wait until the recalculation will come and pay extra for the cost overruns.
8. "Erase and use the dishwasher at night here ..." By that you ate? Erase and use the dishwasher here at this time of day when it is convenient. On the savings in fees and no one remembers.
9. "It is not accepted to purchase and install their own" stiralku ". The total installed in a special room and all the inhabitants use it if necessary. " The vast majority sq. households own a washing machine and many Electric driers, here are ruining their immoderate consumption of energy. But it is convenient, do not hang out on the balcony on belishko verovke ...
10. "In addition, all appliances fully disconnected from the mains at night - everyone pulls plug from the wall outlet." That there should be a complete idiot to pull the plug vrouzetkah. As if people have nothing better to do! I turn off all electrical appliances machine - stands next to probklami when I go on vacation for two weeks. For reasons of fire safety.
Or more should be enough?
Ah, yes... many who do not have my car, ride a bike. The fare on public transport actually saved. And it's everywhere. Even those who have a car, often travel through the city on bikes - no problems with parking.
But for the elderly, as a rule, have reduced the price monthly tickets. Cost varies in different cities, everything is decided by the local authority.
I think that I shall not get into the stream of discussions in the sense of condemnation?)) And unless you do not minimize your expenses, dear Russians? No? You wash the dishes under running water, lighting palite time in all areas, turn stiralku, dishwasher with a partial load, do not use the stocks, sales, sekondhend? And in the supermarket take it to fall on the eyes? Enough! I do not dis... gildyay Do you)))) To earn a lot of money in order to lower it to the wind - in my opinion is not reasonable but the rational use of resources - is worthy of being an example!
And by the way, off the e-mail. devices from the network - also a way to save electric power and much of our wide-open vents in the winter "to ventilate"... showered with caps of foreign zhloboff !!!
Well, I do not know the author of overdoing it or not, but... I will say about Finland. Husband with a friend Finn is standing under the shower door and cursing: So you have 3 minutes you wash. Why wash every day, are you dirty? And this is no exception to the rule, but rather the rule. Finns. Bath or Jacuzzi is nowhere nearly (this is how much water you need to fill?!) A communal pricey. We complain about the expensive communal, but once I found it for a laugh, to flush the toilet in Finland, leaving almost euro (well, To be objective ..chut less) Electricity, cleaning chimneys, garbage collection, TV... all worth it crazy money. Therefore, to save on everything than you can (at any level of wages) and stiralki and dishwasher are included only after the change of regime in the night (actually it is cheaper), but this is after 23 hours. So... I do not know whether it is good or bad (Well this is also related to the environment: water consumption, electricity) but save the Europeans harder than we do a lot. Again, maybe it's good for the environment, but... it was too much for my psyche.
Russian pensioners and state employees, in most cases, surviving on a pension and a salary 8-15 thousand. rub. per month, will give a hundred points to any very economical European citizens.
Very strange husband is your friend. Dirty walk is not an absolute rule in Finland, is Akkaya strange sembyuya each clean as he wants, if I did not tell :) water costs 22 euros per person per month
night electricity is cheaper, there is a difference, but it is very insignificant. Electricity is about 20 to 30 euros per month, the company provayderav, you can choose your own.
In older homes, kommunalua 150-250 euros zhto 3 rooms.
Funny little article! Weight repetitions (about communal, but it saves everything, including the Slavs). A koe.chto so directly sucking the finger (about dressing Germans sekond.hendah). They dress simple and practical, but b / y odazhde except that refugees can go.. This makes no sense
I live in Germany and see the "pedantry" of the Germans. Apparently they are so few that quickly.
The extravagance and assistance in enriching resource owners there is nothing good. European practice of saving a very reasonable and correct. But this does not mean that they prefer to live in poverty or something of poor quality, in contrast to, for example, by many Russians.
