My method to save money is thinking about how many chocolate bars I could buy if I don't buy, for example, fast food, because fast food in Finland is very expensive, especially with delivery. I started to use it one year ago when my boyfriend told me about it. He said, 'What are you doing? You spend your money on fast food, so you are just wasting your money.' I then thought, 'Hmm, really, you are right,' and I started to think about how many chocolate bars I could buy if I don't buy fast food. Besides, it's harmful to health, and it's better to avoid fast food. It's very helpful because now, if I want to buy a chocolate bar, I think about how much money I can save for the future.
