Escape by
Even before my birth, my dad and mom went to Belomorsk for a couple of years, with a clear goal: to make money on a chic car - ZAZ 965 (horbat запорожец).
Running forward, I boast that they succeeded, and we went to Crimea twice a year for seven years, but this is a different story.
My father was a building engineer and my mother a librarian.
They gave them a room.
Of the furniture in it was only a blinded lamp hanging in places naked wire.
In the corner they laid their things, laid a mattress and set up a family council: since there was nothing, and to live here for two years, you need to establish a daily life.
After hot debates between the Minister of Economy and the Minister of Finance, it was decided to spend no more than 100 rubles per month. How much for the book and what remains for food.
Create a purchase plan:
1 month - the bed, the dishes.
2) the month - the closet, the book shelf, the table.
3) month - cabinet for dishes, chairs, carpet.
4) month - washing machine, dining service.
5) the month - gas plate (instead of our electric plate), wall clock.
6) month - radio receiver, luster.

In the evening, the next day after the salary, the father came home and saw that instead of the bed and dishes, my mother had time to buy and bring a washing machine, a bowl, a pot, two tablespoons and a radio with plates.
(It was not enough for the plate, the limit of 100 rubles was exhausted).
At first, Dad was very angry: “How could you jump six months ahead and buy a radio!!!? We had a clear plan! The bed and the dishes!!“?”
Mom said her crown phrase after which Dad had all his arguments finished:
Think I persuaded you...
And when in the semi-dark empty room played music, flying on the radio waves from distant continents, Daddy was completely soft and smiled.
Apparently with one bowl, without plates and book shelves, but with chicties that immediately improve the quality of life: a washing machine and radials.
For some reason I remembered this uncomplicated story for a lifetime and always try in everything to jump through "coverings", "beds", "tables", right to the table.
“The radio...”
Life is short and you must not do as you want, but as soon as you want. Everyone can do it, but they do not suspect it.
P.S
Neighbors of parents in Belomorsk, who were exactly in the same situation, turned their fingers at the whisker looking at our organization of everyday life, even if it was lighthearted - on the floor but with music...
Therefore, from the neighboring rooms for the next six months was a roar, and from the room of my parents - j-z-z-z.
