Why Russians throw everything away, but Americans sell successfully: the opinion of an immigrant
'12.10.2020'
American life is very different from ours. "Martha's Solar Diary" on Yandex.Zen. Next - from the first person.
Everyone knows that Americans are very good at counting money. An American will not just throw his money down the drain buying unnecessary things, even if he really liked them.
In America, you have to plan your budget very carefully, because you need to pay on time for mortgages, as well as pay for home and car insurance, health insurance, utilities and much more.
My friend, when she moved to live in the USA, faced this way of life to the fullest. In Russia, she bought everything she liked, regardless of whether she needed it or not. And as a result, at the end of the month she always did not have enough money until the next paycheck.
Having won the green card and moved to live in America, she completely changed her lifestyle to American. Now, if he buys himself any significant thing, it is only at sales with a good markdown.
And as soon as she doesn't need a thing, she immediately puts it on eBay. In the United States, many Americans successfully trade on the Web, sometimes selling not only their own things, but also those specially purchased for this business. Our immigrants, and many Americans, go every day to the network of large Goodwill stores, pick up antiques there and successfully sell them on the Internet, with good incomes.
A friend says that some Americans don't even work, but made selling things their job. As soon as she told me about it, I immediately caught fire, too, to sell something. Previously, I just threw away all my unnecessary things, but now I decided - I will wash and sell. And with the money I will buy something new, it's amazing!
On the subject: 'I pick up things on the street, but I live in America': an immigrant spoke about life in the USA
Inspired by this idea - to sell and earn everything unnecessary, I shook out the contents of all the closets. That is, she took up major decluttering (by the way, it is always useful!). Having sorted my things, I realized that they are hardly suitable for eBay, but they can be sold on Avito (a Russian service) and also make money. But for eBay I did find some knickknacks from my grandmother and one large vase.
We all have a bunch of unnecessary things lying around. You will be surprised when you know how many people will need them. I believe that by selling the old, we open the way to wealth and success.
