(theme-17, 6) Let's talk about Money & shopping

1. About how much do you usually spend each day ?

I think I spend about 20,000 won each day. In detail, it cost 5,000 won for car oil and insurance, and 10,000 won for luncj and coffee. The remaining 5,000 won will be spent on dining out on average. So it cost about 20,000 won a day

 

2.  Are you a price - conscious shopper ?

I don't think so. I am a improptu consumer. I am not the type of save money by carefully analyzing whether I spend or not. My wife is a price conscious shopper. I leave almost everything to my wife for consumption and I just choose the clothes or shoes I will wear. This will be the norm. A man will trust and rely on a woman's shopping

 

3. Are you good at saving money ?

I don't have that much of a sense of economy. Maybe that's why I don't think I save money well. If I have money, I think I share it with others. I will be hard to be rich. I don't think I have any greed for money at all

 

4. Are you saving money to buy something ? If so, what are you planning to buy ? How much will it cost ?

I've never saved money because I want to buy it  Perhaps it is that I am not greedy for expensive items or that I have purchased items within my consumption patterns. Other friends said they thought of cash flow to buy an overpriced watch or a foreign car. I don't know which one is better, but I think it's best to do whatever you want

 

5. Do banks pay a higher percentage of interest here or in your country ?

Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, interest was paid at a low rate. Currently the base interest rate set by the Bank of Korea is close to 4%, so saving interest is paid high. BOK also continues to raise interest rates to prevent captipal flight as US Fed pushes for high interest rate policy to stabilize prices. Real estate PF is a dangerous situation in the secondaary finacial sector, so if BOK continues to raise interest rate, it will cause the finacial sector to callapse

 

6. What is the best item you have ever bought this year so far ?

There are few items I bought this year. I bought a short sleeved T-shirt because I liked it. I liked stripped patterns I liked young and bright colors. Especially, I like clothes with blue, white, black and red

 

7. Tell us the funniest story you've ever experienced when you trade at carrot market ?

There is no interesting story because I have ever bought it at a carrot market. It's just that my wife bought the table and it was very cheap. She bought it in the same apartment complex, and it's just a scratch on the end of the table My wife often buys cheap things from secondary deals and make good use of them

 

8. What is your tactics to bargain the price at the flea market ?

The strategy of cutting prices in the second-hand market must first analyze the market price and the market price of the second hand market. And I check the number of year and defects of the items. When I'm bargaining, but first I will offer the owner a lower price than I expected, and step by step, I will give him the price I want

 

9. Do you sometimes buy things that you don't need ? If so, give some examples

I am not a careful analyst, I am an impromptu buy. So sometimes I buy something I don't need right away. These days, I am greedy for books, so I buy books that I don't read right away in case I read them later. If I are satisfied with the book I bought later, I feel as if I met a jewel

 

10. Tell us what money can't buy

The first thing that money can't buy is the mind. Because the mind is not material, the mind is obtained not by money but by love. And we can't but time with money, and we can't buy health with money. Money can buy almost everything you need in your daily life, but it can't buy the mind, time and health that are actually important
