What are ultra creative frugal hacks you done or heard of ?
Ultra-frugal living involves an extreme disciplined approach to minimizing expenses to maximize savings or achieve financial independence. Prioritizing resourcefulness over convenience to keep expenditures as close to absolute zero as possible.
I started out as generally frugal then evolved to ultra frugal over last 10 years.
The ultimate goal is have more fun with less and having creative outlet tinkering with new ideas. It all started with the goal of lowering my summer power bill from $250/mo to $25/mo. How low can you really go without being miserable?
This meant switching from Central AC(1800W) to USB fans (3W). With the help of 200W battery solar panels ($300) and installing tint($15).
Winter was no fun wearing puff jackets. So I fired up my 100W projector to watch old school movies on the 150 inch wall. The waste heat is used to warm my room.
Next came photography, buying used and refurbished gear with a warranty. 3/4 of which turn out to good deals on 2.8 glass. I ended earning a sizable hobby income.
Next came product and restaurant reviews. I wrote detail reviews for fun and to help others. Then companies started sending free plane tixs and product.
