16 unique skillsfor men to save money

To be a man is fairly difficult! Can he not save money since he is under such great economic pressure? Now I’ll show you 16 tips as follows:

1.   Don’t take more than 10 yuan with you if there’re no special cases. If you do so, you can keep your spending desire within limit, what’s more, when asked to stand treat, you can also open your wallet generously and show your colleagues what is called “haven’t a bean”

2.   Don’t bet with your colleagues casually, because there’s still 50% chance to lose it. Well, even if you’d like to bet, don’t stake on feasting or so, take other things as ante ,say, drinking cool water, creeping through the tables, beating the palm of the hand, etc. 

3. Don’t buy newspaper yourself. You can take it from others absolutely, and anyway, you won’t miss too many things even if you read yesterday’s news. 

4. Once you are going out with your friends, go to the teahouse to take a cup of tea. Well, order the cheapest tea, it only take 20 yuan per person. Take self-help tea is good too, the treatment is the same with slap-up tea and the environment usually is not bad. One more thing, you can stay in the teahouse the whole afternoon, in this case you can save money for other entertainment. If you have good sense of time, lunch and dinner can be included in the teahouse.  

5. When asked to go shopping with a beauty, refuse to the best of your ability. If you can’t refuse anyway, follow tip 1 when it come to pay the bills. 

6. Going out to have meals with friends, stand at your friends’ left side when paying the bill. In this case, he can easily prevent you from taking the money with your right hand. What? Your friends are also mean! Well, never mind, there’re other ways as tip 7, 8 and 9.

7. If there are pretty ladies at hand, call the waitress loudly to buy the bills after dinner. Currently, the friend will stand on ceremony to ask for paying bills if he’s keen on face-saving. Don’t hesitate, just give this glorious task to him at once. What you can do next is to watch the following wonderful scenes.

8. You can also draw out your credit card confidently and tell the waitress that you pay the bills by cards. Of course, the card is blanked out. Then the waitress will come to inform you that your card doesn’t work. Well, if so, tip 1 can be put on again. Under such circumstance, people will pay the bills together .Then you can tell them regretfully that you will pay back the money in a few days (generally speaking, even if you pay back the money, they won’t take it).

9. No matter what, make it happen that your cell phone (or BP phone) would be ringing at the end of the dinner time. At this moment, you can pretend to call back in emergency. And then tell your friends with pity that the company has some important things to inform you. Then leave quickly, don’t give them chance to end the dinner gathering.  

10. You can only buy one rose to your girlfriend and tell her that this means “concentration”.

11. The money for two pairs of babooshes can’t be saved. Put one at home, and take the other one to the company. This will help to enhance the life-span of the shoes. Ignore others’ surprising impression , or you can just tell them that you have dermatophytosis, and only wearing baboosh that your feet won’t perspire.   

12. Stay in the company overtime in the evenings as much as possible. There’re many benefits when doing so: You can enjoy free air-conditioner in the company so that you can save the fee at home; Surfing on the internet in the company and the fee for internet can be saved; Talking to girlfriend on the phone in the company so that the fee for cell phone can be saved; Cut short the time for consumption in the evenings, the boss will be happy to see that, maybe he will add your salary.

13. Don’t make girlfriend if you don’t need it badly. Always believe that beauties are stunners for consuming. 

14. If you need a girlfriend badly, well, you should hurry up to advance your relationships from period to period-- from friends to close lovers. Generally you won’t risk in a big loss in such period, furthermore, if you are smart enough, you can also gain surplus from it.

15. Don’t expose your date of your birth to others. In my experience, you will receive less but to pay more if you hold a birthday party. In this situation, tip 6,7,8,9 can’t be used any more.   

16. Tell others about the tips listed above to show that you are hard to deal with. In this case, many troubles can be avoided.
