Ugly modern urban apartment exterior where everything is multiple colors/boxes/textures and the inside looks sad and basic. I realize not everyone loves more period feeling houses, but god, at least Victorians and the like were INTERESTING. The current housing trend is like vanilla ice cream... no attitude, no flavor, and it looks like every other house out there. And that's insulting to vanilla ice cream, frankly.

The Majority Of The Human Race Are Narrow, Deluded, Arbitrary Believers In Fantasies
The majority of the human race are narrow, deluded, arbitrary believers in fantasies, willfully ignorant about everything not immediately useful to them, violent, destructive, warlike, tribal as hell, and willing - under the right motivation or excuse - to commit any imaginable atrocity or horror on others... even their own neighbors. Humans are brutal apes with a thin veneer of civilization barely holding them back from constant genocide and cruelty. I didn't want to believe this, and I have fought this conclusion for all of my 62 years. But I am rational, it cannot be denied. It must be accepted. Whatever glory humans achieve, they can never truly be trusted. I cannot dismiss this any longer.

I am a professional tattooist. Many of my peers tell customers how expensive the supplies are, saying that just a basic setup to do one tattoo costs like $30-$50. It costs more like about $3.00. Including everything I can factor into it, including rent and bills. Needles cost less than 50 cents usually. A big bottle of black ink lasts me 6 months or so and costs $20. We don't charge so much because the supplies are expensive and I wish my peers would stop saying that, it's a cop-out. We charge so much because it's a difficult skill to learn and we deserve to be compensated as tradesmen. Also the hourly rate for tattooing has hovered around $100/hr for 27 years, since 1989. Tell me one other thing that costs the same as it did in 1989. And in 1989, the needles were far more expensive because the Chinese factories hadn't started making them yet. They cost over a dollar each in 1989. We tattooers make less money than ever, but it isn't because of the cost of supplies.Show All 11 Upvotes

I can't stress this enough. Porridge for breakfast. It's roughly €0.06 per person if you only added water and salt. With a little milk, fruit, and other toppings it can still be as little as €0.50 per person. Plus oats keep you full for a long time and are amazing for your health. Here in Ireland a 1.5kg bag of rolled oats is €3. You don't need to spring for expensive brand names. Any rolled oats will do. Mix 0.5 cups of dry oats with 1.5 cups of any preferred liquid per person. Leave this mixture in a saucepan on medium heat and walk away for 15 to 20 minutes. Go take a shower. Get dressed, etc. Cooking oats slow gives them their creaminess. When you come back, give it a couple of stirs and add more liquid if you like a creamier consistency. Add your desired topping. And that's it. Even plain salted porridge with a little bit of milk can be really delicious and very easy on the stomach. It's actually really great hangover food.

This is common sense to me, but I know a lot of people around here who don’t live this way: in the cold months I wear long sleeves/enough long sleeved clothing. I avoid turning the heat on unless I’m actually cold instead of cranking up the heat so I can wear a t-shirt and shorts

It's not a hack of any sorts, but learning how to cook really well has been my best money saver. I almost never want to go out, because I can generally cook better food at home. Today's dinner (egg roll in a bowl made with marinaded chicken thighs) came out to less than $2 per portion and was within my veggie-heavy diet.

Put stuff in a virtual cart. Leave it. Mull it over for a few days. The urge usually passes, and that's when I realize it wasn't a real need and something else — boredom, insidious advertising, etc.

Being environmentally conscious. You’d be surprised with how much overlap there is between frugal and sustainable living. It’s the mindset more than anything else that cuts down my expenses. I buy second hand. Catch public transport. Gone vegetarian. Bring my own package free snacks. Learned to repair clothes. Compost to feed the garden that feeds me. I use reusable hygiene products (cups and safety razors). I use tea towels instead of paper towels. I use soap bars rather than liquid soaps that come in plastic containers (they last waaay longer). I buy quality clothes/electronics that last longer. I use my library rather than buying physical books. And most importantly, I’ve stopped buying plastic garbage I don’t need.
