1. Don't buy expensive things right away.

Maybe not only expensive things but also avoiding expensive habits continuously, such as buying expensive coffee, eating at expensive places, or something like that. Because surely we can also buy such things at a cheaper price. It is better to prioritize spending that provides long-term value.

Something does not make sense. An item can not be simultaneously cheap and have a long-term value. From my experience, cheap things does not last long. But expensive ones are made with better quality and better materials. I would suggest to make a small research before making a purchase and plan how long and where you are going to use "thing".

For example you have mentioned coffee. Cheap coffee making machine wont work for a long time before breaking, however, if you dont drink coffee often, you might consider buying a cheaper one. However, cheapest coffee machines use coffee capsules, and 1 cup of coffee made with it will cost more than a coffee from beans. Also consider options of a coffee machine. Touch screen models are more expensive than the one with buttons.

So before buying something, always think how you are going to use it.

Everything has its price, nothing is cheap but of high quality, this sounds absurd. Especially when it comes to food, there will be no food that is nutritious and clean but also cheap, which is not true in today's society.

Furthermore, why do we try to make a lot of money and become rich? What is the purpose of getting rich? Is it so we can have a better life? Therefore, it would be bad advice and idea when we become rich but do not dare to spend money on good food, beautiful clothes...or things that make our lives better. Instead of thinking of thousands of solutions to save money, why don't we think of ways to make more money and become richer?
