I am but I am kinda digging it.
I spent $3k in credit card to buy some alts in September. Right now I am paying down the debt and that requires me to have a food budget below $100. So far my investment is paying off, being worth 8k as of now.

I literally live on rice, eggs, canned tuna, cheap spam, chicken breast, potatoes, and onion, garlic, spinach, and broccoli as veggies. I have turned off the heaters to save in electricity despite it being sub 5 degrees outside so I am keeping myself warm with a blanket and hot drinks. I also turn down the cooling thresholds on my CPU and GPU to create some heat although it's limited. It honestly feels quite comfy.

You doubled your investment? Literally how? I'm 93% down from my initial.

the difference between having some nice gains and being 90% down is literally one or two months less of being a normie in most cases, even if you don't successfully trade at all.

Sorry anon, but you were the normies we were all waiting for who pumped everyone's bags.

That doesn't do what you think it does. Running the fans actually heats up your room more.

then you really shouldn't be down 93%. What did you do, make a ton of terrible trades or go almost all in on Confido or something?

I live frugally but do spend money for food that isn't junk or fast food.
I don't plan on changing even if I make money sometime in the future through a better job or whatever, because living like this means have less responsibility and less stuff to be a burden on you.

The more stuff you own... it's like a horcrux. Each expensive item you own that you care about requires a piece of your soul. If you accumulate too much garbage there will be nothing left of yourself.

The condensation of the moisture from respiration is going to quickly create possibly health-threatening levels of mold and fungal growth- the process has already started, particularly if the surface temperatures of your home are below around 50deg F. This is why electric baseboard heater thermostats are hard wired to come on around there.

Its going to feel comfy, okay, but respired H2O is not going to have enough ambient heat to evaporate. The end result is condensation, microscopically, on every surface from the several liters of water you are expelling with your breath. This accumulation of several liters of water, per day, becomes significant, leading to sustained levels of humidity and constant saturation of the air. Ventilation will become important to your health.

Fungal hyphae is going to work destroying anything carbon-based, and will be driven by your CPU and GPU exhaust fans, spreading spores throughout your living environment.

You'll be inhaling these spores, and, while you have a functioning immune system, over time, this can become a burden. The colonization of every surface into the three dimensional spaces between the various polymers that comprise modern living quarters will be invisible. By the time you see visible fruiting bodies and colonies, they will be beyond reach of antiseptic agents and permanently established in your domicile.

You're the kind of tenant that gives landlords nightmares.

You will make it fren. Just eat beans, rice, tuna, spam, and cheap cuts from asian supermarkets. Make creole sauces to go with your food for flavor. In a few years itll all be worth it. (Unless you went all in on the link scam).
