Because lately I've been more broke than usual, I haven't drank since the superbowl and I don't go out regularly anymore(also I don't do any drugs). I never buy anything except food basically. What does anyone need money for? What kind of question is that? Ditch my phone? I don't have any other means of getting in touch with people other than AIM and when I'm at work. Heaven forbid. How is wanting to know what you need money for such a terrible question? You don't accumulate money for the sake of having money... It's just paper. You obvious want it for something. Whether it's just rent, or it's a new T.V., you not worried about money for no reason. Just make a list of what you spend money on and see what can be cut from that list. Keep receipts if you have to  I only said cell phones, drugs, and stupid shit because that's what I usually see people wasting their money on. You can take tips like "picking up lost pencils" seriously if you want, but at most you're only gonna save yourself 5 dollars a month doing that kind of garbage. | ||

I cut down on eating unnecessary stuff like cookies and any sort of candy crap (I eat such shit mainly with my coffee). I cook myself instead of eating out and generally try to keep everything made at home, like coffee. I even try to stop eating at nights - this is way easier in summer than winter though. You say you give 1$ for soda?? lol man, who the fuck needs soda when you're low on cash. If you're trying to save money in any way you can like you're describing, soda seems such a luxury to me. Glad to say I am rarely low on money however p.s. I'm so surprised to see many people suggesting free porn. seriously, who the fuck pays for porn?? | ||

Also I buy food at this local discounted grocery store(they sale the shit that doesn't sale at Sam's/Costco to the public without a membership) and this includes the food for my dogs which I go through about 30-40 lbs a week. I buy all my clothes off the net/ebay most of the time excluding underwears/socks. Although I do this all it adds up to is having extra coin in the pocket for party money. I suck at saving money. I need a wife. Hahaha i was going to say get married, thats how I save money. Side note: the kids and wife are going to Hawaii again and Im staying home,wife says come for 2 weeks.I say hell no not with your mom to go help with the birth of her sisters baby not my idea of good vacation, how about i go to blizzcon.She says ok but I got to work extra if I want to do that but not if I go to Hawaii for 2 weeks wtf silly lady's haha. | ||

Even though you fly atleast once a month somewhere usually don't bother getting a frequent flyer miles card. And the one time you did get one make sure you come home angry and drunk one night and rip it in half and throw it out the window for no reason. Then punch a hole in your wall for no reason. When you move out of said apartment with the hole in the wall don't bother trying to collect your 1800$ deposit. Infact don't even call the landlord and tell him bye. Because the hassle of getting the wall appraised/fixed and haggling the landlord for whatever of the 1800$ back just isn't worth it. Go to China into those markets and spend 10 minutes talking shit loudly bartering negotiating the price of whatever item you want. Be sure to be really fucking mean and talk down to the person. Once you've negotiated the price down by 8x keep arguing. Then midst of the chinese person talking just grab whatever item you want, give them what they originally asked for, and walk away saying nothing. Pay Smuft 1000$ for a sandwhich he bought on the street for two dollars. When you're hungry you're hungry. Fuck smuft btw. When you're at the bowling alley and the line is really long and you try to pay the guy next in line 100$ for his spot and he says "Fuck NO" realize there must be a reason. Next time make sure that 100$ you tried to hand him wasn't actually a 1 dollar bill. (happened to a friend lol) When playing poker at the casino if some idiot sits down and tips the dealer like 5$ immediately and says "Please don't fuck me over, give me good cards dealer." Immediately throw the dealer 25$ and say "Please fuck him over dealer." If you go to a club in Vegas be sure to order the 1500$ bottles of Don Perignon (however u spell it). When they bring the bottles to you they will have all the hot waitresses carry them to your table on top of their heads with sparklers making a huge scene. It's really superficial and feels gay as fuck, but sadly and amazingly at the same time it will make all the girls gravitate towards your table. After winning a huge sum of money in a Japanese private game, when they jokingly say "Well we are all going out tomorrow night and since you're the big winner you're paying!!!" Be sure to reply "OK" In a sarcastic "LOL NO" type of manner. Then the next night when you are out blow 15k on them. Trust me, you will get an invite back for the next game. When you go to a bar with an elder friend and some girls and you try to order a 400$ bottle of Johnny Blue and your friend says "No need for that lets just drink cheaply tonight," get really mad. Then proceed to order a 3500$ bottle of whiskey. God damn that whiskey was good. When on the streets of an american city get drunk as fuck then get in one of those little carts attached to bikes where guys will ride you around to your destination in your city for like 10$. Point all the way down a couple blocks and tell the driver if he can pedal like crazy and get you there in 1 minute or less you'll give him 100$. When he goes ape shit crazy pedaling and still fails, laugh in his face then say "No 100$ for you LOL," Watch him frown as he's trying to catch his breath, then hand him 200$ and say "But 200$ for the effort!!!." i could go on forever | ||
