1. Credit cards

Peter Klyushkin gets 30 thousand rubles a month. He also has several credit cards with a total debt of 100 thousand rubles. for servicing of the loan to pay the bank each month Peter ten percent of his salary: three thousand.

It turns out almost tithe. If Peter worship the golden calf, he would, perhaps, such a situation would suit. However, Peter pray to other gods, and its banks are quietly hates for monthly extortion.

At the same time gradually repay the loan and pay tribute to the cease-lenders Peter can not. First, it holds firmly on the hook this technique as a "minimum payment" if Peter will stop spending money with credit cards, it will have in a few months to live on half the salary, which he can not afford.

And secondly, there are so many temptations, so many things-that-can-buy-for-money ... that Peter sees no other way out but to continue year after year to feed his trouble zhiruyuschie banks.

Fun fact: Peter has long been dreaming about their own business, while the profitability of thirty percent per annum over it would suit. However, to organize an absolutely iron gesheft - pay the bank debt, and start putting interest on the loan in his pocket - Peter can not. Matrix does not start.

2. Vehicles

Kohl Piglet loves cars. Before he went on the subway, then I save money for Lada. Who moves borrowed Lancer. Money had to bleed, often have to skimp on the most important, such as a vacation or doctors. But life without your car is no longer Kohl.

He should give the credit for the car, pay for vtyuhat dealer accessories and absurdly expensive insurance. He needs to deal with a bunch of small problems with parking, with scratches, replacing consumables and warranty repairs. He needs time to change tires in the season and three times a week to fill yourself full tank.

Kohl, in principle, does not complain. Every single injection of money into the car quite posilen. That's only if Kohl's carefully calculated the cost of ownership of his treasure, he would have found that narrow-eyed chetverokolesny each month consumes one-third of his salary and half of his free time.

Kohl could buy instead of Lancer's good old Lada chisel not to bother at all either Hull or rust / scratch or expensive spare parts? To throw the car anywhere, and in order to be repaired for a small price in good service next to the house, no paper fuss and without queues?

Probably could. But if you say Kole, he chose a machine not level, Kohl's will not even send you in the ass with your advice. Kohl just do astonished eyes and wagged his finger at his temple.

3. The lack of sleep

Olya Golovolastnaya sleeps six hours a day. Sometimes - for five hours. I woke up, slammed the coffee, and let's make a fuss until nightfall.

Another girl in her place would have long ago thought that somehow wrong living. But Olga for many years do not get enough sleep, and think it has long disaccustomed. When Oli fall free for half an hour, she pours herself another cup of some invigorating Burda and ... gets blunt. Watching TV, sticks to the Internet, simply by looking at the wall osolovevshimi eyes and rides in a circle empty thoughts.

From the side it seems that to get out of this vicious circle is very simple. You just have to take it a rule to dive under the covers at exactly midnight. A couple of weeks the eight-hour sleep and Olga will not learn. It will be quiet and good, stop barking at people and all begin to keep up.

But ... to the rhythm of the waltz to alter all things to the eleven in the evening it is necessary to make on a sour willpower. And in such an effort Olya sleepy, alas, is not capable of.

Sleepy Olga will spend several hours every day on all sorts of meaningless nonsense. Due to these lost Olga hours daily will not go into twelve, and in two. And at eight in the morning - if you want or do not want - it will have to wake up sleepy and hooves to work.

4. Expensive items

Gleb Scherblyunich not rich enough to buy cheap things. More precisely, he is not rich. Gleb - rogue, and the money he often does not even enough for a cup of steaming coffee in the machine on the floor below his office.

However, to say "go to hell, it's too expensive for me," Hleb can not. Because of this, he always buys things at the sight of which even the much more secured man's throat immediately merge cold green legs.

Leather jacket price of two salaries? I'm not rich enough to buy cheap things. And I do not care that the size and shaped Gleb does not understand, because of what looks like a son of the jacket fence.

Notebook latest model of eighty thousand? I'm not rich enough to buy cheap things. I'll take credit for the insane interest will be two years to eat porridge with salt and ride a hare on the subway, but I will gather dust on a shelf beautiful silver laptop.

The question, and what would Gleb not be modest and not buy their stuff a little worse, but it is ten times cheaper?

Yes, it's simple. Gleb lazy spent three hours of time to posravnivat prices and specifications to calculate the pros and cons of buying. He simply cavalierly rubanut hand and say, "I have decided, I buy." In addition, despite the worn boots and tape taped glasses, Gleb hesitate to inform the seller that it is rogue.

5. Repair

Claudia Zagrebryuk said that apartments in Russia are too expensive. One Gd knows how much effort it cost her family and this new one-bedroom apartment. Now Claudia makes repairs in the apartment.

Take, for example, the kitchen.

You can go to the hardware store and buy it the cheapest kitchen, so eight thousand rubles. For the money Claudia get more squalid lockers of chipboard, albeit without any claim to the design, but still able to keep inside the plates and pans.

You can go to the Swedes at IKEA and choose their already something more decent, well over fifty thousand. Quality, of course, is not a fountain, but if you find a good collector, who will spend a few days at finishing products thrifty Swedes to mind, you get quite a nice even.

You can visit any of our furniture factory and choose from a catalog of kitchen order. This will be a thousand two hundred, but girlfriend Claudia will approvingly clicked his tongue at the sight of lighting inside the cabinets and sinusoidal cornice above the dust collection decorative shelves.

You can go to the salon of Italian furniture, and succumb to the discreet charm of the bourgeoisie. There are prices for food begin anywhere from one million, but if a little luck, you can grab something from the old collection at a huge discount ...

The question is, what chlorine Claudia bought the kitchen for six hundred thousand rubles? This is an annual (!) With her husband salary. Thus any savings in the family is not planned, and so they had to borrow to complete the repair of the winter.

No, I understand, a kitchen - it's important, a kitchen - it's a long time, Italy - quality ... But if Claudia could not in any way affect the price of the apartment, then at least that's the price of repair was in her power? This is serious if Claudia spent on repairs than two million and two hundred thousand rubles - that saved three years of work does not pay off to her moral suffering on the type of cheap tiles and thin laminate?

Since Egor constantly vlyapyvaetsya on level ground in the scandals, the fights, even in some ridiculous courts.

However, the work and the alcohol so well structured his time that enroll in the gym he strongly once, and feats of strength after labor feats in the sport does not remain.

Acute reason to change the rhythm of his life in the Jura not. Just Jura looks fifteen years older than his age and always feels a bit nasty ... but overall everything is OK. Matrix keeps Yura steel grip. Chance to break from his throat her fingers in the Jura, quite frankly, a little bit.

The reasons for lower nowhere annual household income Alice two. Firstly, because it tells the Matrix in the face of our customs and traditions. Second, Alice wants to show off in a white dress and Alice believes that the year of two persons - the price is quite normal for some wedding pictures.

Of course, advocates of a naive girl could say now that the wedding is a once in a life ... But there are birthdays, funerals, mark the New Year. How much money will be Alice down annually for those stupid gatherings?

Because Bob how to make money, so spend them and not considering. Five hundred rubles for a taxi home. A thousand rubles for a dinner in the restaurant. It's like, work and work ... and there is no money.

If Bob got himself a notebook and began to record all income and expenses, it would be horror stirred the hair on your ass. Bob would see, what to eat in the restaurant - it's not pathetic thousand at a time, he thought, and fifty thousand a month, six hundred thousand a year.
