What stupid things have you done to save money?

? Of course, the reason for saving money is because I have no money. It is better to be financially independent after going to work, but going to school will cost your parents’ hard-earned money. It is not natural to not save money, so you must save money. I didn't think much of it when I was saving money, but it seems a bit silly now because my age has changed and my environment has also changed. ?

When I was in college, my home was in Henan. I went to school in Harbin. Taking a train from Henan to Harbin took 24 hours by express train and 32 hours by local train. Because the student ticket is half price for a hard seat, and the sleeper ticket is about 25% off. The hard seat costs 124 yuan, and the sleeper ticket costs 356 yuan. In order to save travel expenses every winter and summer vacation, I always take the hard seat to and from home and school. Because I had to sit for a long time, I had to spend the night on the train. I couldn't sit down or lie down. I was so sleepy that I couldn't fall asleep even if I turned around and sat down. Every time I got off the train, my calves and feet were swollen. I wouldn't sit there even if I were beaten to death from such a long distance. In fact, I wasn't stupid at the time, it was because I had no money, but now it seems that I was a bit stupid at the time.

When I was still in college, I found a part-time job when I was a sophomore. I watched primary school students do their homework in a tutoring class and checked their homework. The time was from 5 to 8 pm every Monday to Friday, every day. I come out of the tutoring class at 8pm and wait for the bus. The last bus in Harbin in winter is at 8:30pm. The bus I want to take is relatively small, usually every half an hour. If I catch it right, I can catch it. , I couldn’t catch the next bus and had to wait for the next bus. I thought about riding a bicycle at that time, but the tutoring class was too far from the school. It often snowed in Harbin in the winter, and the road surface was not allowed. The key point was that it was too cold. Sometimes I wait under the cold and windy stop sign for nearly half an hour. I also thought about taking a taxi back, but the money I got from taking a taxi was basically my part-time salary for one night, so how could I afford it? ? It’s college again. Why are the three things I wrote about today all happened in college? Mainly because I was already an adult when I went to college. The school was far away from home. I only went home during winter and summer vacations. Everything else. Everything must be done by oneself. Without a backer or a helper, one can only solve it by oneself. I had a bad cold in my freshman year and I went to the school hospital for intravenous drip and medicine. It cost nearly 300 yuan for everything. 300 yuan doesn’t seem like much now, but at that time it was half a month’s food expenses. . Later, before the start of my sophomore year, I used the rural medical book at home to buy a lot of commonly used medicines, including those for treating colds, fevers, and clearing fire, etc., and they cost dozens of dollars. Everyone knows that the shelf life of general medicines is 2-3 years, so when I was packing my things after my senior year, I discovered that most of the medicines I prepared for myself were unused and had expired. Having said so much, I still really miss myself at that time, working so hard and so confident. Although what I did at that time seems silly now, it was all worth it, wasn't it?
