this. ironing is such a waste of time.
also, unless you can't get away with it in your profession, wear clothes that don't need to be washed often, e.g. drop a couple of hundred or more and own one really rugged pair of selvedge denim jeans that you can wash once a year instead of having several economy pairs that all get washed after a couple of uses. saves money, water, electricity, not supporting the shitty labor conditions responsible for budget clothing etc.

So basically being vegan is cheaper if you lie and steal?

Jwar, I think you should have considered a career in couples therapy, mediation or diplomacy.

I don't want to have an ethical debate but man...That seems fucked to me.
Also, I'd love to have a conversation about nutrition and how the body functions. I've been studying the human body for over a decade and while I'm no doctor or expert, I'm very well educated on its functions.

Haha diplomacy is used when needed.

Is it because I don't sugar coat and am a blunt dick? :-)

You don't imagine how much I'd be willing to do to bring you to a family reunion.

I don't steal because I have to.
I do it because I want to.
Because I'm a narcissistic sociopath.

For real though, without stealing anything, I feed my family of 3 on $250 a month. That's like 25 cents per person, per day.
I don't eat out, ever, because there are no vegan friendly restaurants in my town. I cook every meal. No fast food, no frozen dinners.
And the occasional stolen organic raw cashews.

Moving in to a new place with inadequate flooring? Buy a square foot of shag, cut out two measures of it to fit the contours of your feet. Strap them on, and feel like you are striding through a luxurious carpeted penthouse. Just don't look down.
Combine meal times with bowel movements by sitting backwards on the toilet, allowing you to rest your plate on the cistern. Use the saved time to work that 2nd job at night to boost your income.
Save money on Coachella tickets by pitching a tent in your garden, pissing up the side of it and stealing your own shoes.
Make sure you don't buy groceries you don't need, by taking your garbage can to the store with you, so you can see what you have recently run out of.

Don't go on dates. Women are expensive. Just paint your face with blood and flour and jerk off to your own reflection in your dark filthy bathroom, because the internet costs money, and have a good cry while you're at it, just flush the whole system out. This generation isn't just discovering how useful their kitchen can be, but their bathrooms, too.

1. Tea bags can be used a few times. No need to use a new one each time.
2. Learn to make Tamago Kake Gohan. Basically rice, egg, and soy sauce. Probably comes out to like 25 cents a meal.
