Been loving these things, so let's get a legit one going.
>Don't buy books anymore, just download them from library genesis
>Popcorn time for tv shows/movies
>Meal Prep EVERYTHING (bulk buy sweet potatoes, chicken @ 1.90/lb, ground beef at @ $2/lb, rice, beans, veggies)

All that frugal shit for small cost items barely makes a difference. You won't suddenly move up a wealth class.
All that effort is better spent looking for business/investing opportunities, building networks/skills, or just working on your own projects.
How much will all that frugality really save you in a year? $2k?
How much could a single promotion, great investment, or successful new business make for you? $20k? $50k?
>successful new business
This is anything but easy. Most of the time you will find out that the reward isn't worth the time compared to other things.
2k is a lot.
It isn't easy, but the more effort you put into it, the easier it becomes. You'll have a few failed businesses at first but it's a learning experience.
You'll soon develop an eye for spotting opportunities, how best to approach creating a minimal viable product as quickly and cheaply as possible, scaling your business, etc.
I have been eating the same thing every day for 4 years.
I eat a peanut butter sandwich in the morning with a mug of milk, half full.
Then for dinner I eat a 1 cup of cooked white rice, and a cup of pinto beans, which I buy in bulk bags. I drink water with dinner.
On weekends and holidays, I allow myself a full mug of milk, and cranberry juice with my dinner.
An entire day of eating on normal days is less than five dollars of food, given that I buy everything in bulk. The most expensive components being milk and peanutbutter. One of which perishes quickly, and the other of which does not typically come in huge bulks like rice and beans do.

True but think of the compounding effect of also living cheap.
Meaning, if u live cheap and save 2k, that 2k might afford u another six months. While for someone who doesnt live cheap, they wont get the 2k to begin with, and even if they did, the 2k wud only last 1 month.
Ubermensch coming in, I only eat rolled oats, milk, a shitton of raw eggs and some fruits here and there.
Last year I spent a solid 2 months coding like a madman. I barely left the house, and just ordered take out everyday. I was utterly focused on completing a project that now earns me an extra $200k/yr in mostly passive income.
Had my thoughts been preoccupied with penny-pinching, instead of trying to make real money, I'm not sure I would have gotten to where I am now.
