The last one of these was absolutely hilarious.

So, /biz/ what little things do you do to save money and extend your dollar?

For example, I bury my shit in the yard instead of wasting money on a toilet.

I save up my cum and drink it as a cheap protein drink.

I go to country festivals dressed in army attire because all the white trash idiots there buys me free drinks since they think I served, which I don't. No fucking way I'll be spending $10 for a fucking beer in your regular shit nightclub.

I spit out men's semen into a bottle and use it as lube later when sucking penises to save on the pricey cost of lube.

So do any of you have good tips on how a young man like me can save an extra $50 a month without having to spread my anus anymore than I already do?

Dude, I found a way to not spend any money on lube. You just freeze a bunch of ice cubes and pop one in your mouth before giving a bj. The water melts slowly and you get nice lubricant from it

This thread is a joke, but I'll give you a real one that I do:

Most of this advice is penny wise pound foolish. You save $3 on your groceries with a coupon? Neat. Why don't you move from your $750/month apartment into a $550/month apartment and save $2,400 annual instead. Do this for three years and boom you've saved enough for a down payment on a $150,000 house. I would know. Now your "rent" will be given back to you when you sell it in the future. Or not. Congrats on your $3.

Free venison at my local park. The deer are used to humans so it's easy to go up to them and strangle them.

Free fish in the local angling pond

Steal potatoes from local farmers, and milk their cows. You can live off mashed potato.

Self identify as a woman and you get to sleep in women's domestic abuse shelters. If they question it, kick up a fuss and say you'll sue them for being transphobic.

It wasn't a cheapskate thread, it was a frugal thread and it was gold. Anyhow, I'll share my sheckle stacking tips and the figures.

- TV/Internet: cancel your current plans. Get the cheapest internet only plan and watch free over the air channels. You can find anything else on the net. Most importantly make sure you own your network equipment to avoid rental fees.
$167/mo to $14.99/mo (flat including taxes and fees) = $152/mo savings

- Insurance: only have basic liability if the fair market value of your car is under 10K.
$124/mo to $52/mo = $72/mo savings

- Phone: cancel high priced cell plans. Buy a cheaper device cash and go through a discounted carrier that still has a solid network.
$115/mo to $62/mo = $53/mo savings

- Electricity: unplug all appliances when not in use, replace all light bulbs with CFL or LED and turn lights off when you leave a room. Never use A/C unless its unbearably hot outside.
$50/mo to $35/mo = $15/mo savings

- Heating/Gas: if you live in a home turn down your hot water heater. It uses more gas over the course of a year than a furnace does. Make sure you replace the furnace in your filter often. Keep the temp no higher than 68F in your house.
$50/mo to $35/mo (annual average) = $15/mo savings

- Food/Grocery: plan meals. Sit down and write out all of the ingredients for each meal including packing lunches if you work outside of your basement. Use coupons for things you buy often if they're avaliable.
$475/mo to $400/mo = $75/mo savings + $50/mo (since I'm not eating out at work) = $125/mo total savings.

>implying you can't do both

However, your point is valid.
I know plenty of people who complain about being poor, but they're 30 and they never bought a house.
I'm 21 and just bought.

By the time I'm 30 I'll have spent less than they have on rent, and I'll have a house to show for it.
From then on it's an enormous saving (housing makes up well over 50% of my expenses)

>m-muh 1%

Its all well and good until you show up at a nightclub and some guys from the nearby base are there waiting to educate you that youre not supposed to wear your uniform to nightclubs or bars. And then they discover you're not actually a servicemember and using your uniform for financial gain and you end up in jail or paying a fine because it's actually illegal.

Play it safe and go to daytime restaurants if you're wearing camo, or more elegant restaurants if you're wearing the dress uniform. Know and adhere to the uniform standards and you probably won't raise any eyebrows. And yes, that means no full beard, look decently fit, and have ribbons/patches that actually make sense.

I think he meant to say "shingles" like the roof. The literal translation is saying "my house" but it's slang in English for like saying "look what I have" in reference to the house, kind of like bragging on it.

This is for two lines and compared to what I was paying, yes. All the cheaper alternatives are utter garbage unless you want constant dropped calls, missed texts, calls that go straight to voicemail without your phone even ringing etc. Believe me, I've tried.

Buying a decent, but small condo is well within the reach of most 21 year olds

And it's cheaper than renting if you have good credit
>>
>>967149
I know so many fucking 30 year Olds who are purpetually renting for 8 or 900 per month then an identical condo is 80k to buy, and was fucking 45k when they started renting 8 years ago.

I'm not going to do the math for you, but the mortgage on 45k is less than half of you faggots spend on dirty panties.

If you are 15 (no matter which sex), become a camwhore. There are lot of pedophiles that use those sites, so the owners are very lenient, as long as you tell them that you are 18 and show some passable fake ID.
You can easily build a costumer base, and with a modicum of work, you can be making $200K/year, without having to expose yourself to the risks of prostitution.
You should have at least $500K when you turn 18, which is more than enough to give you a huge headstart.

Jew mode: Do videocalls with your clients, tape them, and then blackmail the shit out of them for quadruple money.

This might be a bit too Jewish even for /biz/ standards but I'll share it anyway. I wake up 20 minutes earlier in the morning and hit up the complimentary breakfast at one of the dozens of hotels around the office before going in to work. While my coworkers are spending $5 for a shitty gas station breakfast burrito, I eat a complete, comparatively healthy breakfast and usually snag an orange or bagel to compliment lunch. Shit's saved me hundreds of dollars and it's barely an inconvenience. Some tips:

- It's more effective in bigger towns/mid-sized cities. More hotels=more places to hit.
- Look decent. If you look like a respectable guest, the staff will never question you. Alternatively, if you look like a fucking hobo, they'll probably kick you out.
- Walk in like you own the place, greet the people at the front desk if you make eye contact, be friendly. However, it is preferable to minimize contact with the staff if you can.
- Use mid-tier hotels. Economy bullshit like Red Roof Inn, Econo Lodge, etc. is a waste of time. Upper tier hotels are more uptight and generally don't have complimentary breakfast anyway.
- Don't go to the same hotel all the time. Two weeks between visits is plenty of time for unmotivated hospitality workers to forget a face.

I just have a bowl of cereal at home, much less time wasted than taking a detour to some random hotels

though for lunch I steal food from the confrence rooms in the office, we have a whole suite of them where account managers host client meetings, executives meet to discuss pointless things that could have been sorted over e-mail etc... so every day the admin girls have a bunch of trolleys out in the corridors or small kitchen nearby stacked high with sandwiches, pots of coffee, biscuits etc.. I just wait till it is clear, grab some napkins and take a few things from each trolley...

usually get the same again later on in the day before heading home too - then only need a light meal when I get home
>>
>>968178
that's not jewish at all, it's just really ballsy

but I'd rather just eat at home
>>
>>969515
on top of this the stationary cupboard is raided regularly, I take home teabags and coffee from the canteen - one of the copies of the financial times placed out in reception for clients to read is usually pocketed by me in the morning, as is the economist. I've somehow acquired two old computer monitors and a dell workstation that didn't get moved after someone left the company.

When I moved flat there was a gap of a week between vacating my old place and moving into the new place - I stored a bunch of stuff in one of the storage cupboards at work - spent a few nights at a friends house but also spent several sleeping on a couch in the office and using the shower in the small gym we have... plus stealing extra food from the conference rooms.
