A new thought:
Perhaps better to adopt a ‘ghetto’ lifestyle than to strive to adopt for an Uber-fancy lifestyle.
My thoughts:
1. Eat ghetto
Anti-whole foods living. Better to adopt an uber-ghetto lifestyle; eat sauerkraut from cans. Kale and Collard Greens from cans. Or bagged frozen kale and collard greens. No need for “fresh”.
2. Living like a baller on a budget.
Preference for cheaper cuts of meat. Fattier and cheaper. For example, fatty cuts of meat (pork ribs, pork belly) which you can get for around .99 cents a pound (if you go to the more ‘ghetto’ super markets or grocery stores).
3. Some life hacks
Some food hacks:
- Cut meat with scissors
- Super easy way to cook meat: Just toss it in a pan or cast iron skillet, and throw it in the oven (400 degrees) and just cook it until it is cooked.
- Use a crockpot. Just get a cheap one. Use this to cook pork shoulder loin roast or whatever.
4. Working out for free
The park! Find a heavy rock and toss it around. Do chinups on the bars. Or do muscle ups. Or do pull-ups on the rings.
Have fun and be creative. Also the good thing about the park — free entertainment via chatting with strangers.
5. Books for free
Gutenberg.org. Google old-school books as ‘PDF’ or ‘ePub’. Read it on your laptop, phone, iPad whatever for free! You can also read my books for free.
6. The best car is no car!
Not owning a car is the ultimate reverse flex. True richness is being so robust that you don’t need a car. Same goes with getting rid of your phone; the best phone is no phone. To reverse flex and tell people you don’t got a phone — the ultimate flex.
