At certain times in life, even when we are in a difficult financial situation, some more stealthy things never fail to be bought. Of course, the futility of such items depends a lot from one person to another, after all, it's that old story of what's important to me, may not be to you.

Taking advantage of this subject, which was released as the first edition of this week by Hive Learners, I decided to share what is important and pleasurable for me even in more complicated financial conditions, that is, those items that I cannot miss even when I am flat broke-bankrupt.

Initially, in my opinion, “bankrupt” doesn't exactly have to be someone who ran out of money or lost their business, or anything like that. I prefer to imagine that this word is exactly associated with a more precarious and delicate situation, such as, for example, when we have a lot of debt, but even so we open our wallet and spend more.

Then let's go!



One of the first items is the addictive soda, this one has no escape. As hard as things are, lunch or dinner without a soda is complicated. I can say that my addiction is not even alcohol, but the blessed soda, cola flavor, to be exact.

I've tried replacing it with plain or cold water, but food never seems to go down well with it, to tell you the truth, it seems my stomach gets bad when I mix food with water.

Swapping it for a glass of juice would be nice, but a 1 liter unit costs R$8 ($1.63) while a 400ml glass of juice usually costs R$5.5 ($1.12) or even more, so, no matter how you are, let's go with a 1 liter soda!



The second item, I can say that it is some foods, but of course they are not healthy foods, I am talking about those with high calories and which often should not be consumed in excess, but well, whenever possible, if I pass near a place with açaí, milkshake or sweets in general, I'm inside it's like a magnet pulling me.

Even if I open my wallet and see the butterflies come out, these items are bait for my life and my childish taste buds. I have a greater preference for ice cream, so I can say that a nice 500ml milkshake always goes down well, with or without money.

Regret may even hit later, but that's ok, cold belly and then it's just joy! In the image above, I put an example of a milkshake from Milky Moo, which, by the way, have more than 30 different types! If I see one it's a sure buy!



Now, finally, I can say that an item that may be futile for some, but for me is something like the air I breathe. Internet for my home and mobile data for my cell phone, I don't think I can do without this at all.

Even more so with my focus on evolving here at hive, the internet has become something vital for me. Far beyond playing or browsing and watching anything, the internet is a way of acquiring knowledge, interacting, posting, voting and everything else we know. In terms of mobile data, it's always good to have a connection when we're out and about, whether for an emergency or just chatting with friends to pass the time.

Perhaps these two items, which for me would be like one, are not even so trivial, in an increasingly connected world, internet and mobile data have become part of our life and everyday life, but, for our subject, yes, I am often broken and bankrupt, but the internet, which in this case I pay R$100 ($20.41), cannot be missing, it is the interaction that my house needs for movies, series and browsing.


Well, that's it, I believe I can finish this post! Of course there are several other items, but these are the ones that attract me the most and make me spend even when things are tight.

Maybe one day I'll be able to control myself, or maybe not haha 🤣, the important thing is to try to balance desire and financial life, but if not, live the pleasures of life!

Em certos momentos da vida, mesmo quando estamos em uma situação financeira complicada, algumas coisas mais furteis nunca deixam de ser compradas. Claro que a futilidade de tais itens depende muito de uma pessoa para a outra, afinal, é aquela velha história do que é importante para mim, pode não ser para você.

Aproveitando sobre este assunto, que foi divulgado como sendo a primeira edição desta semana pelo Hive Learners, decidi compartilhar o que para mim é importante e prazeroso mesmo em condições financeiras mais complicadas, ou seja, aqueles itens que para mim não pode faltar mesmo quando estou falido.

Inicialmente, na minha opinião, “falido” não precisa ser exatamente alguém que ficou sem dinheiro ou perdeu o seu negócio, ou algo do tipo. Prefiro imaginar que essa palavra associa exatamente com uma situação mais precária e delicada, como, por exemplo, quando temos muitas dívidas, mas mesmo assim abrimos a carteira e gastamos mais.

Então vamos lá!


Um dos primeiros itens é o viciante refrigerante, este não tem como escapar. Por mais que as coisas estão difíceis, o almoço ou a janta sem um refrigerante é algo complicado. Posso dizer que meu vício não é nem bebida alcoólica e sim, o bendito do refrigerante, sabor cola, para ser mais exato.


Fonte

Já tentei trocar ele por água natural ou gelada, mas parece que a comida nunca cai bem com isso, para falar a verdade, parece que meu estomago fica ruim quando misturo comida com água.

Trocar por um copo de suco seria bem legal, mas, uma unidade de 1 litro custa R$8 ($1,63) enquanto um copo de 400ml de suco, geralmente está na média de R$5,5 ($1,12) ou até mais, então, não importa como esteja, vamos de refrigerante de 1 litro!


O segundo item, posso dizer que é alguns alimentos, mas claro que não são os alimentos saudáveis, eu falo é daqueles que as calorias estão lá em cima e que muitas vezes nem deveriam ser consumidos em excesso, mas bem, sempre que possível, se passo perto de algum lugar com açaí, milk-shake ou doces em geral, eu estou dentro é como se fosse um ímã me puxando.


Fonte

Mesmo que eu abra a carteira e veja as borboletas saindo, esses itens são uma isca para minha vida e meu paladar de criança. Tenho uma preferência maior pelos gelados, então posso dizer que um belo milk-shake de 500ml sempre cai bem, com ou sem dinheiro.

O arrependimento pode até bater depois, mas tudo bem, barriga geladinha e aí é só alegria! Na imagem acima, coloquei um exemplo de milk-shake da Milky Moo, que aliais, têm mais de 30 tipos diferentes! Se eu vejo um é compra certa!


Agora, por último, posso dizer que um item que talvez seja fútil para uns, mas para mim é algo como o ar que respiro. Internet para a minha casa e dados moveis para o celular, acho que não consigo ficar sem isso de jeito nenhum.

Ainda mais que com o meu foco em evoluir aqui na hive, a internet se tornou algo vital para mim. Muito além de jogar ou navegar vendo qualquer coisa, internet é uma forma de adquirir conhecimento, interagir, postar, votar e tudo mais que sabemos. No quesito dados moveis, é sempre bom ter uma conexão quando estamos na rua, seja para uma emergência ou apenas conversar com os amigos para o tempo passar.


Fonte

Talvez esses dois itens, que para mim seriam como um, nem sejam tão triviais, em um mundo cada vez mais conectado, internet e dados moveis se tornaram parte da nossa vida e cotidiano, mas, para o nosso assunto, sim, muitas vezes estou quebrado e falido, mas a internet, que no caso aqui pago R$100 ($20,41), não pode faltar, é a interação que a minha casa precisa para filmes, series e navegação.


Bem, é isso, acredito que já posso finalizar essa postagem! Claro que existem vários outros itens, mas, estes são os que mais me atraem e me fazem gastar, mesmo quando as coisas estão apertadas.

Talvez um dia consiga me controlar, ou talvez não haha 🤣, o importante é tentar equilibrar desejo e vida financeira, mas se não der, viva os prazeres da vida!

I prefer to imagine that this word is exactly associated with a more precarious and delicate situation, such as, for example, when we have a lot of debt, but even so we open our wallet and spend more.

That's an excellent explanation for the word and concept. It is precise and meticulous.

Hmmm. You cannot digest food without soda. It certainly is not cool. Soda are not healthy and in access amount they are dangerous for health. I think you should try finding some way to reduce the use.

Internet and data are like the air these days. Many of us cannot stop spending on it. It has become the basic necessity without which our life stucks.

A brilliant piece 👏

It is relieving to know that I'm not the only one struggling to stay away from calories 😂.

I believe most of the things we do habits plays alot of role in it such that we still squeeze out fund to get them even when the fund is limited.

These things become essential for our desire, so even if everything is tight, there we are buying them to satiate and calm us. The cool thing is that this is very personal, everyone has their own points of view and what they like to buy even with the complicated situation haha.

What good examples. I feel identified with them. It sounds like I was talking about my version a few years ago. I'm still drawn to those sweets and drinks, but I don't think I fall so easily into their nets anymore. A good tactic: walk faster when we pass in front of the store! Regards @shiftrox

It sure is a great tip, when I pass in front of some store that has sweets or milkshakes, I will speed up the step so I don't even have time to think about wanting something haha! A big hug.

I'm happy to read this, because there's nothing better than ice cream, a milkshake full of delicious things is utopia and even if my pocket suffers, my taste buds won't haha! Thanks for the comment!

In the one I put in the post, on the official website it says that it only has vanilla ice cream, brigadeiro and chocoball (which are the balls), but I'm sure there must be more.

Another one that I really like is the one called "Branca", which has vanilla ice cream, ninho milk brigadier and ninho milk powder.

And finally there's the "Pandora" that comes with vanilla ice cream, nest milk brigadier, nutella and powdered milk. They are all delicious and still have countless other flavors! 😋

A coffee-flavored milkshake or ice cream must be interesting, I confess I've never had it. I'm going to find out if they have it here in Brazil, in the city where I live and I'm going to try it to see how it is! I love coffee!
