all my office jobs were within walking/biking/public transportation distance

walking and biking are sufficient for most of what i do. occasionally i use delivery apps, get a ride from someone, or get an Uber

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5624102&forum_id=2Elisa#48277609)

i still spend a lot of time outside the house, but that's usually alone on my bike

still take buses occasionally

avoid certain expensive medications (like nurtec)

repair all electronic things myself, do prole goy mr. fixit-ing on bigger things where i'm competent

still wear some clothes from undergrad or even fucking high school in casual contexts, including one tattered jacket

spend the time to meticulously maximize tax refunds every year even if the difference is just a few hundred dollars

avoid anything with a subscription cost, including gyms etc.

rarely buy books anymore; almost everything i've gotten recently is from retiring/dead profs

there're a ton of minute things like avoiding consumable goods where possible, calculating $/calories at the grocery store, using every last fucking bit of soap, shampoo, etc.

This is bad-ass, and people who don't do this can't be considered "men"

(neither of those is what poor people do, but poor people tend to be stupid, and their inability to think of such things is a significant reason for their poverty)

The whole point of ITT is weird poor things we do even though we're not poor IRL. But yeah, this one does double duty as a poor move and an anti-poison move.

Keeping Starbucks cup in car and use it for 0.50 refills - I get starbucks trenta arnold palmer every morning, but can't get refills on drive thru orders and eventually get found out abusing the system by some shitty manager on the once in a blue moon occasion I attempt this beyond the acceptable refill rule

Never take chicks out on dates - more or less same

Torrent movies - I'll see 5-6 movies a year in the theatres

Pee outside never inside - just don't flush -- I flush after I pee

Copenhagen dip - I don't spend money on tobacco products and have a nice collection of cuban cigars I got in 2020.

Feed my cat scraps - no pets

Buy things a la carte and combine them at local restaurants instead of ordering full meal - don't understand this

Take soap and shampoo conditioner from hotels - I do this so that I can have carry-on appropriate containers

Sneak into paid venues - haven't done this since I was a teenager

Look for free furniture on fb marketplace and Craigslist - don't look for free stuff but have used offer-up for furniture

Check slickdeals.net every morning - this still around?

Bathe every 2-4 days - I bathe because I have to be around people but if left to my own devices this is probably the schedule

Plink with a .22 - don't own a gun in CA

Ask for rides to and from airport from friends - I uber to and from the airport

Fill my gas tank only halfway unless at Costco - I always fill my tank full and then fill it up when the gas sign comes on

Collect loose change - I don't do this.

Read books off internet archive library - z-lib but I do buy a ton of books

Use ad blocker instead of paying for YouTube premium - do this too but had youtube premium when I would stream it from my TV

We have the same furniture from when we got married and combined our shit 12 years ago. We’ve bought one new (cheap) couch and one new kids bed. I’ve promised we can get some new furniture when the youngest goes to college in another 12 years, but I may have lied.

I love yard sales or second hand stores. Not for clothing but things like baseballs or other gear.

I detest atm fees and will go out of my way to avoid them.

I used to drink bum level booze. It hits hard.

also one of my garage door openers broke in 2022 so I was opening it manually when needed (I don't park a car in there) until the tension spring snapped about a year or so ago. I have not bothered to fix either.

i WFH so i only need to look good on camera from the shoulders up, so i continue to wear stuff until it tears open or falls apart somehow. just a few days ago i threw out a pair of shorts because they had like a 10" wide hole in the crotch. the shorts i'm wearing now have only like a 3" hole. and right now i'm also wearing a polo shirt with a hole in the back near the neck. i basically look like a homeless person despite making ~$230k.
