Post money-saving tips.

I just moved into a new place and was worried I would have to pay $50 a month for internet.

I found a tethering app for my phone and it lets me use wireless internet from the phone onto my PC for free, since my phone data plan is unlimited.

So by getting a $5 app I saved $600 a year.

this, owning a car just evaporates the money in your bank account
best way to save money is to live simple. I eat the same cheap meals every day, except once a week when I eat out with my girl.
Also, don't get a gf. Way more expensive than a car. Fucking hookers is unironically cheaper

My money saving tip is to look up networking events for start up companies in your area.

Just turn up and don't even bother talking to anyone. 99% of the time there will be company stalls giving out free branded t-shirts, stationary etc.

Just go, bag up a fuckload of t-shirts with shit tier company brands all trying to be the next SnapChat or some shit and walk out.

Costco membership is good for more than just groceries, their giftcards are often 20% off and you can buy them online.

You can rent cars with the membership for a decent discount. Speaking of car rentals if you get the insurance from a regular provider before arriving at the rental spot it'll be like 25% of the price.

Instead of paying for cable or Netflix get into some private torrent trackers DYOR but it's not that hard

Instead of eating the same boring cheap meals each day, you'd probably be healthier buying really good organic food and fasting twice a week.

cut both
small costs add up
you can buy $4 glide floss or $1 pack of 10000 toothpicks.
you can buy $100 mattress + $120 bed frame or just sleep on a foam camping pad for like $20-$40

small costs are still costs.

>> No.11308608

>>11307574
Cut down on mobile costs as much as possible.
Also try to save as much energy as possible by using led lamps, regulate the thermostat in the rooms that you don't use and wear thicker clothing to compensate.
Also just own car that is reliable if you need it.
Also adjust insurances that you need for your live situation a shitton of money can be saved there.

>> No.11308617

but sleeping on a fucking foam camping pad is extremely uncomfortable and makes your sleep shit.

This.

Had a shitty cheap mattress for the last 2 years and couldn't fucking take it anymore. I was waking up with soreness and pain nearly every day. Bought a $1k serta foam mattress and shit is well worth it. Sleep better without waking up with general pain every day. Now the bed frame? Sure, go cheap on that.

wait what the flying fuck. You pay 25/month for unlimited talk/text/data AND unlimited calling and 5 GB of data in Canada??

I live in canada and pay 50 bucks a month off contract for 500 minutes, no roaming and 2 gb of data wtf

Also a way to save money is to go to food banks. You only get a little based on your address and you need to prove it with a bill or something. So get an e-bill, edit the address and just go all over the city to the various food banks and stock up. You can get like a months worth of food in one big trip

blackpill frugal tips:
1. live out of your car or van (better)
2. buy all food and items at 99 cent store.
3. never eat out
4. get ideas on dry-food edibles by learning about MREs
5. if you must cook then go find a place that allows you to use a microwave for free. if you don't want to use microwave then find a spot where you can use fire or a hotplate
6. instead of showering at a gym and paying membership fee, shower by swimming at the beach. if you don't live near the ocean then shower by swimming at a public pool, which usually charges $1.50 per lap swim session
7. for relaxation find a korean spa where they have hot salt rooms and showers
8. if you must be involved with women then find azn massage parlor and waste a few $20's. or just jack off for free. but avoid relationships all together because that's a huge time and money sink
9. instead of having 1 wagecuck salary job that will cost you more in taxes, get 2 part-time jobs and negotiate scheduling so that it fits your ideal sleep schedule.
10. if you must live in an apartment and want to get jewed by rent-fees, then at least rent from a friend/family member.
11. use a prepaid phone with fixed monthly cost. never sign any long-term contracts
12. use as little petrol as you can. just bike. buy a used bike. plenty available at yard sales, craigslist
13. stop wasting time on 4chan.
14. stop wasting money on stupid shit like alc and cigs
15. in your free time, figure out how to build a sustainable low-cost-to-run business and keep working on it at least 1 hour per day until it earns enough for you to quit one or BOTH of your part-time wagie jobs.
16. figure out ways to jew the system so you pay as little taxes as possible, or none at all, and try to enroll in community college to see if you can get it for free or get tax creds.
17. sign up for local food bank and get free food/water
18. never buy gallon water bottles, always go for the filtered refill for around 30-35 cents per gallon

depends on what a person likes. soft or firm or extra firm. the point is to avoid mattress as they are costly, hard to move/store, and wear down fast. you can also sleep on a hardwood floor with just a few blankets or whatever. i like to sleep on hard/extra-firm surfaces so a mattress actually fucks my shit up as it gets softer.

look up "japanese floor sleeping"
