Thanks, I hope you didn't send it to the above address because that's a chancoin addy.

i honestly cant remember the last frivolous item i bought.

Shave my head so I don't have to pay for shampoo/conditioner/haircuts.

only flush for fecal matter

only bathe/change clothes once coworkers mention body odor. usually 3 days. if they say nothing for 5 days, I assume this is because its not noticeable. eventually I may be able to bathe only once every 2 weeks, and put on clothes with no regard like the frenchman do

>>3185991
Stop smoking and start V A P I N G

and the prime of your life, your 20s, pass you by as you live like a pauper.

sad!

Sometimes i order chicken instead of steak.

added benefit of repelling the estrogen jew
that'll easily save you a cool million over your life time.

>>3185991
this is the most depressing thread on 4chan

>>3186795
>spending $100 at a shit bar for $5 of alcohol to get drunk 2 days out of the week is what life is all about
>you're not living if you're not paying $50k for a BMW to make the 20min a day you spend in a car slightly more comfortable

>>3186179

Your life sounds miserable. I actually feel bad for you. Lighten up.

>>3187470
I couldn't agree more. This is the epitome of why people are poor.

>live with parents to save money
>cook in instant pot (10-15 minutes for 3 days worth of food)
>home gym ($400), don't have to pay $50+ a month, and drive 10+ minutes each way
>pay penalty on healthcare because it's cheaper
>use parents utilities to mine shitcoins on PCs I already have
>last time I went clothes shopping was 3 years ago (Junior year college)
>phone is release HTC ONE (~early 2013)
>phone bill paid by parents
>laundry done by mom

This lifestyle lets me work from 6AM to 8PM each day on my business and save/reinvest 95% of my earnings.

>>3186179
Ridiculous
As previous anons said... you'll realize all your money won't buy the time you wasted

Jesus christ what shitty, miserable existence. SAD. What's the point in even living at that stage?

>>3186179

what do you do with your weekends/spare time?

I save money when going out because I don't drink, I usually just take xanax instead (which I buy in bulk powdered form) which costs me <$2 for 5mg which is more than enough to get sufficiently fucked up for the night.

Honestly guys these threads are kind of cool whenever they pop up, but like any linearly progressing hobby or interest, there is group who is advanced far enough into the interest that they become tired of having succeeded in achieving near perfect frugality and begin to dive off the deep end into murkier pursuits and extreme minimalism, in this case a maximalism of frugalness.

Just like the guys on /fa/ who start dabbling in rick owens and $400 shoes, or the guys on /fit/ sucking cum to maintain gainz, the autismos of /biz/'s frugal threads share their wretched and inhospitable lifestyles lived in the name of accumulating money. And while money is a great thing, which I can attest to, what the frugalanons don't maximize is their own sum total share of value in this life.

Namely, the most valuable thing being TIME.

>>3186179
I shave with months old safety razors, but I don't have much facial hair, so they last longer for me.

>>3185991
>>3188812
Honestly going minimalism mode was the best choice for me. Life is so much simpler. I wish I had a picture of my old studio apartment to show you. All I had were
>an inflatable air mattress
>my desktop computer
>my guitar
It was comfy as hell. Now I got my own house because I wanted to start building some equity. But even then I paid less than 100k for this house. I just don't have any need for anything more especially because tfw no gf/wife.

THIS. Every man should switch to these. Bought a $15 safety razor and 100 blades off amazon for $10. I'm STILL going through them and it has been almost a year. Typically you can get 4 shaves off each blade (2 for each side of the blade). And honestly, it is just a much better shave although it took some getting used to.
