Use old phones for watching videos and earning passive income. Mine crypto on laptop while in hotel lobby. Airdrops. Free section on Craigslist. Flip items from thrift stores. Cam online. Sell your underwear. Rice and beans. VPN. Call all CC companies and home bills to get lower monthly payments or better rate. Don’t get a gf (big one). Free condoms online every month.

Eat your lunch you would normally eat at work in the morning before you go to work. I wake up and hour early and stuff my face with...oatmeal. I`m kidding. But I pretty much do what our great LINK investor did. The less I spend on food, the more I put into crypto. Just the very basics. I used to spend at least $400 a month on food alone. I have gotten that down to below $100. My car is a hybrid and I only spend $20 every 2-3 weeks for a full tank of gas. I stopped ALL eating out. DO NOT EAT OUT. EVER. Stay hungry to get rich boys. FEEL HUNGER. Will my shit coins perform? Will I be able to do what oatmeal anon did? Time will tell frens. I want all of us to make it...hes in a better place now though.

Im guessing t is tablespoon and c is cup, they are unfortunately the standard measurements you use while cooking. Could get worse too, could end up with measurements like; a pinch, a splashing, a dollop. Cooking has some fucked up measurement standards.

The standard is typically grams or in more half assed recipes in might be ounces. If it uses volumes it's not a standard recipe but some lazy and not very good home recipe. Same with cooking temperature, medium or high is not a standard heat level. Fahrenheit or Celsius is the, standard in cooking. Low or whatever is just some lazy home meal recipe with poor repeatability.>>26005776

What an absolute cope. Guess how I know you’re both lazy and dumb, but like to think you’re just lazy?

There are many, many hardworking people who lack the mental capacity to truly advance in life. Hard work without intelligence is useless. The same cannot be said for intelligence without hard work.

Keep coping loser

Many time at work you can get free food from fridge there from people who don't eat the food.

Do the shit at work and you don't need to buy toilet papers.

Sometimes you can get free food on the street from a truck or van.

Go to donation bin and many time you can get the free clothes before it goes to the store.

Buy raffle tickets and sell door to door. Ticket costs 1 dollar and you can make 100 dollar easy.

Go to church and put $5 not in collection. Take back $6 change. Nodoby notice.

Go to back of electric metre. You can move the wire and get free electric.

Make a complain at the shops and get free food and free voucher for the store.

Save money on food, At the beginning of the month set some money for groceries and some other for personal expenses. Respect those limits. Eat lentils, beans and vegetables, also some eggs.
Protip: dumpster diving will get you all the luxurious food you can't afford.

Pretty much everything can be bought in thrift stores or facebook marketplace for 10% to 20% of retail price.
the only things i would never buy used is beds and couches. Also no used underwear!
2nd is i refuse to loan any money and never go in debt.
Also i buy food based on price/weight instead of just looking for cheapest
