How to Live Like a King on Very Little

[resjudicata]

@npy KE70 is better because it has more room and it is still cheap to buy, fix and run. The AE86 price is skyrocket for some reason.

@resjudicata I already own one

@evilbeans Cycling to work? Quick way to live like a dead king.

@cleebrin If your office is like 1km or less from home, i dont see a problem with that.

 

[cleebrin]

@evilbeans Only rich folks who don’t actually needed to work can live close to their offices.

 

[evilbeans]

@cleebrin Not necessarily. I once worked somewhere in shah alam and i opt to rent a room nearby the workplace for less than RM300. Everyday i walk to work and ride a bike sometimes.

@cleebrin Living near mrt station also can right?

@evilbeans Stupidest advice ever. Produce section empty after imports restricted. 14 days quarantine where would you get fresh produce, do you live on a farm or not eat for two weeks?

 

[evilbeans]

@joep222w Woah calm down. dont go bashing people like that. You can also stock up some frozen veggies and canned foods too.

 

[joep222w]

@evilbeans I'm not bashing anyone, I'm just pissed that anyone would still advocate that after I had to beg for food after the lockdown started.

At least I learned, during the sudden water shortage, I had tons of unhealthy, processed canned food, so I didn't starve this time because I didn't need water to cook it

 

[evilbeans]

@joep222w Go for healthy unprocessed one. Frozen veggies and fruits are cheaper and cost a fraction of the price than the fresh ones. And go for whole grains instead of simple carbs. Easiest one is brown rice, rolled oats and wholemeal bread. I know malaysians dont like it because it doesnt taste good. But foods are not entertainment anyway, it’s a nourishment. Eating the right food is an investment on our health. I’ve been eating brown rice since pandemic because i feel full after one serving. Thats how i save money and eat healthily.

@evilbeans Hi, thank you for sharing this. Absolutely love it. Btw, where can I find stuff about Thor Harris? Does he write books or anything like that?

 

[evilbeans]

@resjudicata Im not sure about that but what i know he’s a drummer for a band

 

[resjudicata]

@evilbeans ah okay, thank you!

@evilbeans

1. Riding bike isn't for everyone
   
2. (7) is very subjective
   
3. What does (9) have to do with the topic at hand?
   

The rest I agree. Learning a small skill (like repairing stuff, or carpentry, electrical or even computer troubleshooting) goes A LOOOONG way.

@blayne

1. I know it is not practical in malaysia
2. Yes, no 7 isnt for everyone. But i enjoy doing it as a hobby sometimes.
3. Afaik, it’s to encourage you to take a break from consumerism. Try creating one on your own like a book rack or any other simple furniture.

1. What if one can afford it to buy outright but he chose to pay by credit?
