I started getting hyperfixated on hobbies that save us money. Baking, canning, gardening. Now instead of buying a can of tomato sauce, I spend $400 on seeds, soil, canning supplies only to carefully craft the worst tomato sauce you've ever tasted lol
lol. Freshly grown tomatoes?
Lived in Europe - salaries aren’t the same, and taxes, but between lower cost of living, absence of credit cards, and being able to go to the emergency room without risking bankruptcy, it’s pretty great.
I would like to go work in Europe for sure
I cook the large majority of my meals myself, which is a huge money saver. I keep my overall cost of living pretty low by not having a car and living in a fairly small one bedroom apartment.
Ah I wish I didn’t need a car but it would be really challenging for me
Got married. Rent plummeted immediately - we were way more inclined to stay home and hang out, family cell phone plan saved a bunch, cooking for two is way more economical and fun. Highly recommend - best if you get to marry someone who is genuinely your best friend and you want to be around them.
Two caveats:
1. If it’s not your best friend and you end up with two separate lives and then divorce - that seems pricey.
2. Kids. If you decide to have them, they can rip through your savings.
Great advice and I’m hoping I can get married one day but still searching for someone. Want to avoid the divorce part for sure!
Learning to cook well and efficiently is a huge money saver. Getting married is also great for tax exemptions. Getting a remote role if you can, so you can eat at home and not pay for gas is great. Quitting drinking or drinking very sparingly will save you tons of money.
All really good tips!
Looks like cooking at home is something everyone does! What are some of your favourite meals to make?
