What is your experience of losing money for the sake of greed?

is to buy those particularly cheap goods on the **, originally wanted to take advantage of the small advantage, but ended up buying knockoffs.

I did have such an experience, that is, before, I thought things were cheap, so I went to buy them, and then I bought a fake.

Shopping met a beautiful woman in the distribution of free experience card, you can go to their store to do a free beauty, thinking that anyway, no money, just go to try it, at the beginning of the service attitude is good, keep smearing all kinds of skin care products on my face, after the end told me to pay fifty yuan for materials, because the service does not cost money, but the cosmetics applied to the face have to pay. I really wanted to cry without tears.

I saw a pair of shoes I liked very much on the Internet, and then bought them at a much cheaper price than the physical store, and then took them back to see that they were fake.

In fact, I did have such an experience, and I must remember not to be greedy for small things in the future.

If you want to buy an A4, after checking the major car portals, you find that Beijing is the cheapest, and it can be discounted to about 30,000. So I contacted a dealer in Beijing and repeatedly confirmed that there were no additional conditions to discount more than 30,000 naked cars with foreign licenses. With excitement and joy, I took the high-speed train to Beijing to buy a car.

After arriving in Beijing, I found a dealership and negotiated a discount of 30,000 yuan for the car, gave the whole car leather, and then paid a deposit of 9,800. Because there was no car in the Wilmar Bridge store at that time, the sales took Mr. Su to another place to pick up the car, and after seeing the real car, the sales called to swipe the card, and the sales suddenly changed his face, saying that he had not said that there was a discount, and he had to buy the car at full price. Alas.

My boyfriend did this kind of thing, we played in Kunming for a few days, and then booked a ticket to leave. I packed up early that morning, saying that I would leave early, and I would rather wait for the plane than let the plane wait for me. However, he kept inking and talking about what he was doing so early, playing games there.

Later, I went out, I couldn't get a taxi for half a day, I called for half an hour, I said go directly to the airport, he wanted to go to the subway station, I was afraid of not enough time, so I said otherwise, we got off at the subway station, and then took a taxi, the distance was separated, there was no need to go out of the return fare, but he didn't agree, he had to take the subway, and when we arrived at the airport, I didn't know which terminal, and I started to look for a call, and finally when I got to the counter, I was told that it was five minutes late. In fact, the boarding pass is usually stopped 30 minutes in advance, but the airport in Kunming is 40 minutes in advance, that is, when we arrived, it was exactly 35. I was really speechless at the time, just in order to save dozens of dollars in fees, thousands of dollars in air tickets were wasted, that flight is only one day, can not be changed, and it is a discount ticket can not be refunded, can only be said to be really too inch.

Typical greed for small and cheap for big losses.

I once picked up a chestnut paw when I was walking, with a bag, new, because I haven't seen it, it's very rare, I want to try it, do you want to make it? The chestnut claws were peeled chestnuts, so I went to buy fried chestnuts with sugar, 18 yuan a catty, bought 25 yuan, and went back to the child did not eat enough, so I went back and bought 25 yuan. As a result, I bought 50 yuan of chestnuts for a pick-up chestnut claw, and to be honest, the chestnut claw thing was not as easy to use as I imagined.

I remember going to the supermarket with my colleague to buy dragon fruit, at that time, it was wrong, it was expensive, we went to the cashier together, I thought we could get some money back, but in the end, people looked at it and found that we were less than ten yuan, because the dragon fruit brand was different. In the end, I paid ten dollars, and my face turned upside down.

When I first graduated and worked, in order to save money, I rented a rotten house in a remote village, but the house was hot in summer and cold in winter, and it leaked when it rained, and cockroaches and rats ran everywhere. Later, because I had lived in this rental house for a long time, I was only 30 years old and I had rheumatism, and my knees were uncomfortable when it rained. It's really not worth it when I think about it, and now I often have to spend money on treatment, and I really regret it.

When I moved, I cleaned up the house and found a cutlery that looked shabby, I thought it was worthless, and then I put it on Xianyu for 100 yuan and sold it, thinking that I could not only move a little less but also earn some change. Later, I showed this **tool** to my uncle, and my uncle said that my set of tableware that looked shabby and old was actually an antique, and the market value might be more than 10,000.

In 2008, while waiting for the bus at the bus station, a man took an Apple 4 and asked me if I wanted it. I asked how much it was and he said 500 bucks. I said why is it so cheap, he said that he stole the phone and should dispose of it quickly, and my first thought was not to call the police but to buy it.

After giving the money, he said that he told me to turn off the mobile phone so as not to wait for others to call **, and after turning it off, he gave it to me and left, and he was still happy to buy a mobile phone for 500 yuan, but he walked for a few minutes, and I turned on the phone before I found that I was transferred, and the mobile phone was replaced with a model at the moment of shutdown. But I was not particularly disappointed in my heart, thinking that this was tuition, and I would grow wiser. I think it's a bit of a problem in itself, but I'm just greedy and let myself be fooled.

This matter cannot be said to have suffered a big loss, and the big loss has not been suffered so far.

1. I have tried fakes: I once bought some fakes because of the greed for being late, but I found that the quality was very poor, and even the things I bought back could not be used, and I lost a lot of money.

2. I have eaten inferior food: I once bought some inferior food because of greed for small and cheap, but I found that the taste was very poor, and even some food had a lot of stains, and I lost a lot of money.

3. I have bought inferior clothing: I once bought some inferior clothing because of greed and cheapness, but I found that the workmanship was very poor, and it was easy to fade, and I lost a lot of money.

4. I have bought counterfeit brands: I once bought some counterfeit brands because of greed and cheapness, but I found that the material was very poor, and even the counterfeiting was obvious, and I lost a lot of money.

To stick to their bottom line, love greedy people, once or twice may be fine, but once you stretch out your hand, it is difficult to stop, sooner or later you will do something without principles and bottom line, this is the biggest failure in life, greedy for small and cheap people, is the easiest to suffer a big loss.

On the other hand, there is a good saying: "The greatest pain in life is that no one needs you, and no one pays attention to you."

When they weigh the pros and cons, they always think that what is good for them is right, everything is not beneficial, or not conducive to themselves, they can't take advantage of it, they can shirk it, and they can escape it. ”

As the saying goes, if you are greedy for a small price, you will suffer a big loss, and I understand this truth, but in the process of doing things, we often make this kind of mistake, as far as I am concerned, I have had many such experiences, specifically such experiences include buying cheap things but losing more because of poor quality. In order to save money, taking a slow train, resulting in too much delay, and participating in so-called free events and ending up spending more money, these three things.

First, when we buy things, we always pursue good quality and low price, hoping to buy the best things with the least money, but a penny is cheap, no good goods, good goods are not cheap, this Taoist principle is very easy to understand, but we are often, obsessed with it in our own experience, there have been too many times, when buying things in order to spend less money and buy cheap things, as a result, because of poor quality and make themselves lose more situation.

Second, in order to save money, take a slow car, the result was delayed too much time, once a car trip, because things are not too anxious, so I want to do a section to save some money, so I chose a lower face slow car and waited for myself to get on the car only to find that the slow car is too slow, stop and go along the way, it would have been an hour or two to the talook. I really walked for most of the day, and by the time I arrived at my destination, it was already dark, and I felt very sorry for wasting a lot of time.

Thirdly, participating in so-called free events results in more money. Now there are a lot of activities, claimed to be free, as long as you participate, you don't need to spend a penny but you can get souvenirs afterwards, such a good thing, it's really pie in the sky, so you flock to it, and you can participate in it with horror, but in order to really participate in this event, you find that the so-called free is not pure, in order to buy the kind of things that are said to be out of the sky, in fact, the money spent is more, and this experience becomes a greedy and cheap loss, the most typical example, I have taught myself a deep lesson, so that I will definitely not make similar mistakes in the future.
