I add hot water for $.05 cup of coffee instead of paying $1 at work.

Don't use toilet paper, hop in the shower use yellow dial bar soap for TP.

Thats the point. Youll be forced to use teeth whiteners to cover up the coffee yellowness since brushing does not fix it

>>1911301
Brushing does help though. Drinking coffee legitimately isn't the problem you make it out to be.

>>1912124
I live in Europe and we have free health care, so becoming a doctor to save money is not a concern for me. But even in our commie pesudo european states we still need to pay for things like water

>>1912004

The sink should be rotated by 90 degrees.

rent if for retards, paying a house cost almost the same monthly but at least you are buying a property that you can rent in a future. I know that buying houses is not very rentable, but it's better than renting at least.

>>1912179
With a house you also have to pay for maintenance, repairs and ALL utilities.

Renting out your home later is sure to accelerate those costs when Tyrone moves in and shits on your carpet while high on PCP.

>saving money is a mental illness
So is wasting it

I save leftover oils and fat from cooking. Even paper towels, if I've used them to absorb oil.
Eventually I'll burn them for heat. Or to kill myself with the carbon monoxide.

>>1912197
Saving money is fine where it's easy, doesn't take much time at all and doesn't significantly affect your quality of life.

Waiting for something to go on sale = fine

Shitting in a bucket, stealing hot sauce packets from Taco Bell, living in a van and showering at a gym daily = mental illness

>>1912218
Same here but it's more laziness than frugality.
I have an oven in the kitchen and I use paper towels, sometimes oil soaked, and stale bread as fuel.
Of course I try to avoid letting bread get stale but when it is, it burns quite well.

Implying you can't do a cost-efficiency comparision between what you can make per unit of time on your work, and the money you can not waste by investing time on doing things differently or by yourself

Fixing your car might not be worth it if you have to learn from scratch, but it might be worth it if you already know how

Frugality is sanity, it's not avoiding consumption but about focalicing your purchase power on the important priorities of your life.

That takes some prefrontal cortex effort, which takes a voluntarly effort, self control, discipline and long-term thinking.

Obviously one can believe to be aplying this and fail miserably. That's why life is fun.

>>1912221
Say you're going to make tacos at home anyway and taco sauce is $3. If you have tacos at home once every two weeks, that's $78 a year. There is a multiplying effect there when you apply it to other areas of your life, without having to shit in a bucket

> Pay off 20 percent of your mortgage in a year because despite all your shortcomings and bad habits, you still earn more than enough to pay off bills and sensible debts and still have enough left to live like a stupid idiot with plenty of disposable money at the end of each month
> Read frugal threads on /biz/ and never take a single lesson because you feel no need for it

I have so many fucking questions.
Why is he living there?
Where does he go to the bathroom?
How come nobody notices him getting 25 liters of water from a water fountain?
Where does he park? His car?
He said that the point of living there is that nobody can know you're there, but then he has a fucking surround sound system.

Her dad moved to uni with her, and kept everyone at arms length from her until she was 22.
