Stupid things because you're to poor
« on: May 22, 2012, 09:27:53 AM »
That's that one or even a few things that people do to prevent themselves from spending money, so lets hear some of them :P

Mines never turning off my Windows PC because it takes 2 hours of turn it on and off again waiting for it too actually boot.

I also steal peoples food and drink (only if I know them of course xD)

I on the other hand am never at a loss for words.
I would like to travel more but I have to work and it would clean me out to travel for a couple years all over the world.
I do pretty much what I want as I am single with no kids.
I eat well and have great insurance. I tend to play with stuff like Ham Radios and electronice. I love to play with laser guns and such.
I feel lucky in life with the money I do have.

I separate my 2 ply toilet paper to make 2 rolls.
I reuse bath water until it has completely evaporated.

I don't accept support PMs. Ever! Your query will be answered much quicker in the public boards. Why don't I want any PMs asking for support?

I hear ya snow.

Of coarse I would not really eat dirt first, was j/k. ;)

I get called cheap all the time, but feel I could do better if I work at it a little harder.
I hate spending money on eating out, clothes and shoes.

Why buy a takeaway pizza when a supermarket one is cheaper?

Why go to the cinema when I can watch a film on Sky Movies at home?

Even a Chinese at home is cheaper.

Charity shops are getting expensive these days too.

I find eating out is cheaper than taking the time to burn or cook something. I dont burn stuff myself !!  Just go to the better restaraunts OOPS .  I would spend money at the gameroom at the mall before I bought a computer game. I like real pinball !!

If you're poor, what are you doing paying Murdoch money?

Even if I could afford Sky, I wouldn't have it, out of principle.
