节假日，怎样才能忍住不花钱

Saving money during the festive season isn’t always easy. However, it’s not impossible to save. Here are some psychological tricks you can do to prevent yourself from overspending.

想在过节的时候少花点钱，可不是件容易的事情。不过，也不是没有办法，以下是一些心理学的方法，可以帮你节制乱花钱。

1． Surround yourself with people who make you feel good

1．待在你感觉舒服的人身边

If there’s one thing you need to know about the advertising industry, it’s this: when it comes to spurring you on to buy certain products, the advertising industry tries their best to appeal to your emotions in order to motivate you on to buy their products. So, instead of falling for their marketing fodder, surround yourself with the people you love and make yourself feel good.

如果说，广告业有一件事情是需要你知道的话，那就是广告想要刺激你买某种商品，就一定要尽全力吊动你的情绪和欲望，诱导你购买其商品。所以说，与其陷入他们的推销策略中，还不如待在你喜爱的，让你绝对舒服的人身边。

2. Don’t buy anything on impulse

2．千万不要冲动购物

Ever heard of the saying, "A fool and his money are soon parted"? The proverb was derived from a scenario that poet Thomas Tusser observed about a man who didn’t quite think twice about parting with his money.

听说过这句老话吗，蠢人和钱总是待不在一块的儿。这句话起源于诗人汤姆斯.塔瑟，他观察到，有一个人花钱时，从来不会三思。

3. Consider renting

3.考虑租用物品

According to financial planner Adele Martin, renting a dress or a bag for a special occasion could actually save you even more money. After all, how often will you be wearing that sequin dress?

根据理财规划师爱黛儿.马丁，在一些特殊场合，租一件礼服和包包其实更划算。毕竟，礼服又不会常穿。

4. Alternatively, sell items you don’t need

4.或者，卖一些闲置物品

And when it comes to clothes, Adele suggest having a good wardrobe cull; selling unused items clothes on eBay or Carousell can give you extra cash to go shopping with.

对于衣物，阿黛尔建议可以来一个衣柜大清理，在易趣以及旋转木马等网站卖掉不用的衣物，这样子你还能意外得到点儿钱来购物。

5. Remind yourself of the things you have

5. 记得清点已有物品

We don’t know about you but every time we look at our closet and organise it, we realise just how many items of clothing we have and it prevents us from wanting to go shop even more.

我们不了解你，但是我们每次重新整理橱柜时，我们认识到我们还有好多衣物，这可以阻止我们购物的欲望。
