The authorities are confident that an adult working person can live on 4,000 - 5,000 rubles a month. Let's see how to travel for this amount in transport, eat well, pay utility bills, use the phone, buy clothes and sometimes go to public places.
Instructions
Step 1
The very first rule is not to buy delicacies, but to be content with ordinary food. Buy cereals, which are also useful in their structure. Every season you can find fruits and vegetables that will be seasonal and will not cost you extraordinary money, and you will get your dose of vitamins any time of the year. Sometimes you can buy meat, but only chicken, with this money you can hardly afford a piece of beef. We must not forget about bread and butter and a dozen eggs, for which you also have enough. You need to be always up to date and know in which store there may be sales, having stood in line for some time, you will receive saved food, which is very important in our position.
Step 2
Not everyone will be able to save on utility bills. It's good if you have meters on everything, then you can economically use electricity, remembering to turn off the lights in the rooms, trying to prevent electrical appliances from working just like that. Save money on water and gas without wasting it. There is no way to reduce the fixed list of utilities, you just need to pay for it.
Step 3
You can also save money on transport in the warm season. Walking and getting up earlier is even useful. Taking a walk to work in the morning will cheer you up and improve your health. Do not put a lot of money on a cell phone and do not make calls without special reasons, because cellular communication "eats up" a lot of money.
Step 4
Clothes can always be found at sales, they are sold there at half price. Of course, you won't be able to buy fashionable clothes, but you can always make some kind of accessory with your own hands, thereby making the clothes original.
Step 5
Instead of going to the cinema, it is better to read a book, it will develop your imagination even more.
By combining these rules, you can live on a living wage.
