Short of stealing and living in your mom's basement how do you manage to keep your expenses down? What are you doing or not doing to minimise cost of living and being thrifty? Remember time is a factor
So make a list of pros and cons for an idea to be viable.


you dont need advice on that part huh? :)

dont spend your money on rip off restaurant/fast food learn how to cook and once you know how to cook resturant/fast food just tastes bad

I steal and live in my mom's basement and set all my clocks to run at half speed so time is less of a factor

I eat instant ramen and dress it up with sauces/vegitables/meats... It's been my cheap meal for a long time.


ramen is actually good when you do that

if its a really bleak week, like around christmas when im absolutely tapped, i just down grade my food. switch to ramen packets or the cheap cheap bologna and bread for sammiches.


That's OK for a week or very occasionally but comes at a cost of nutrition which affects health.

Buy zero sugar gatorade and poweraid..

pour a little bit into a glass and fill the rest of the glass with water.

This can be done with juice too but juice often has a lot of sugar.

My origins don't stem from Asia I'm a goyim.
If that's what you were referring to nose wise.
