advice on saving money

[waldojeffers1]

- don't drink

[pocket shepherd]

waldo,the don't drink thing is where my money gets fucked.

(cos i do drink)

[waldojeffers1]

- don't buy coffee at the gas station

[waldojeffers1]

- don't go to restaurants ever, it's not worth it

[waldojeffers1]

- you don't need a t-shirt for every bar you like or band you listen to. you're too old to wear t-shirts anyway.

[waldojeffers1]

- clothes are good for four or five wears before you need to wash them

[Duke]

i make maybe 5x as much as i used to and still don't save any money and i'd say the most discernible difference is that i now always order multiple drinks when i go out to eat

so yeah thread holds true

[waldojeffers1]

I'm about to move and I'm selling my cast-iron pot and it kinda breaks my heart because I learned to cook on this pot, you know?

[Duke]

don't do it waldo

think of all the seasoning

[waldojeffers1]

- only eat beans and rice and drink tea

[waldojeffers1]

yeah the seasoning makes me want to cry but in the long run 4 months of investment in seasoning isn't that bad right

[Luke]

If you don't have money, selling the most versatile cooking implement you could own is probably a bad idea.

[jewels]

learn to cook and then cook way too much and have awesome leftovers.

I'm making a trans-continental move and it would cost half as much to ship the cast-iron to my parents' for storage as it cost to buy new

[Beyerstein]

- clothes are good for four or five wears before you need to wash them

ew thats gross.

you're one of those disgusting smelly foreign people who doesn't wash their clothes

[Luke]

Are you carrying your possessions to your new place?

[waldojeffers1]

only as many as fit in a suitcase and duffle bag

[Duke]

wait so why not do that?

it's not like a new one is better, unless you didn't clean it properly for a while or something

[waldojeffers1]

one time I was in this other country and a security officer from the US embassy was supposed to brief us on crime there, like how to not stick out as a foreigner, how to avoid making yourself a target of thieves

his only advice was "meditate on the transience of all material things"

[waldojeffers1]

- if your work has a gym, you should take showers there andn then you don't need hot water at home

[waldojeffers1]

- don't have a phone

[Luke]

Waldo, I think that if you've made the decision that you're too old for t-shirts, you're probably old enough to not want to live like this.

[waldojeffers1]

- don't have the internet at home

[walt whitman]

my old roommate from columbus would make elaborate budgets for every upcoming Major Life Event. and he tended to use that as his primary excuse to get out of dating, going out, buying drinks, etc. it sucked being around him but he sure saved a lot
