i buy shithole houses for almost nothing and do my own renovations. i buy vehicles with bad bodies that run well because they usually have the best quality to price ratio. people give broken appliances away for free. used clothing stores, if you ask, have damaged clothes that they sell in bulk. and there is always good furniture abandoned in alleys.

i get discount junk and learn how to fix it myself to save money. i look like a homeless person all my stuff is shit, but its all paid for and i don't have to work very often. for me, going my own way isn't just about chicks, this entire culture of consumerism and debt slavery seems like a trap
