Is keeping your expenses as low as possible based and redpilled or cringe and bluepilled?

Keeping your expenses low by buying low-quality shit like Ikea furniture and bargain bin prepared food is cringe
Keeping your expenses low by buying second-hand furniture (and giving it a makeover) and cooking your own dishes for cheap is very redpilled.

This is kind of what I'm trying to say, even though I'm only 23. But I own my own house with a wife and a kid. So I have 1 nice den to myself and I no longer want to feel like I'm returning to a barren cave anymore. I want nice things to be comfortable in my space. If I were just some college kid renting a small apartment I would say minimalism is the way to go and that's exactly what I did. Fuck the TV. "Everything I live with should fit into my hiking backpack" was the way I thought as a college student. All my childhood stuff stayed at my parents' house, a kind of "home base," in boxes and I lived like that from 18 to 21 before getting married, buying my own home, having a kid, etc. 2017 was a hell of a year.

Trying to be "based an redpilled" is not based and redpilled.

nice chair
the issue here is the lack of a side table for drinks and cellphone

I do it because I'm too lazy to deal with all the stuff I could have

at least get a bench and some houseplants.

it's pretty hilarious and shows the fundamental difference between two genders

she doesn't like it because it flat out looks wrong. They like the comfy feeling that a well furnished home can give them but some guys are too autistic for that

>it flat out looks wrong
Yep, it doesn't help that the room is set up in a pretty stupid way.
You can make minimalism comfy, but that pic is depressing.

You're a smart man and deserve a (you). B&R is becoming some nebulous status flag. People are begining to ask themselves, "do b&r people do this?" as part of their internal calculus when making lifestyle decisions that affect social standing. Asking the question itself is becoming the differentiation between alpha based and red-pilled and beta based and red-pilled.
Contrarian stoicism with an emphasis on personal development is going mainstream.

keeping expenses low and living minimalistically is redpilled imo although that image there is a bit extreme

i have that setup, plus a small leather sofa, and some paintings on the wall, but that's about it.

i think hoarding or collecting is pretty dumb though, if you have stupid shit littered all over your house and constantly buy useless gadgets you're just a slave to consumerism and lack impulse control

Nice blog post. Bluedpilled af.

It would look less dumb with a leather couch. Does the guy in OP ever have friends coming over ?

based and redpilled

Checked.

the chair is literally placed in the middle of the room. even autists should see that something is not quite right here...

>Unstimluating
>Bar
Man its gotta be hard to not have any friends to go out with

Based and redpilled. Unfortunately, women exist to waste money, to give birth and to be ****ed. And they don't even want to give birth.

really depends. if you buy loads of cheap stuff, it's a waste. if you buy expensive but durable things, it's like leveling up your items in your inventory. it really can be an investment to generally better your life, and your feelings about yourself for that matter. such things will display to others as well and actually can make it easier to achieve your goals. this goes for clothing as well as for interior.

I see an issue with her being judgmental. She's clearly proud of being ignorant.

You seem narcissistic in not being able to explain your thoughts.
>but OMG, it's obvious! Why doesn't everyone know my thoughts immediately after I have them?
Typical projecting narcissist,

yeah there isnt enough cables and monitors in that room

Lived in something like that for 1 year, had hardwood floors, granite kitchen tops, central heat/air, leather couch, but overall very empty.

It was a bank forclosure, eventually they kicked me out.

It sure works at repelling parasites like her, so it's good

Needs a much bigger TV, perhaps a small sound system and a couch or two for having friends over. Other than that it's perfectly fine for single guys.

This is how black people live except they don't even have blinds in their windows

I like this bait. It's so true.

>be me
>live in a social housing apartment
>my kitchen is a workspace with heatplates rest in empty
>work from home as network solutions engineer
>eat mainly for less then 2 bucks a day
>rent out one room to a long time friend
>no other significant social interactions
>save around 50%-70% of my salary per month
i personaly cant understand how other good earning people i know cant handle money and have to overdraft almost every month just in their regular expenses.
but im well aware im probably high level cringe

>TVjew
>no squat rack
>no power tower
The owner is probably a little fatty but otherwise it's not bad, it's clean which imo is the most important thing for a home.

>being a man
>getting married at 23
Literally never going to make it, unless you live in some mooslem country.

have a sense of balance and enjoy yourself ffs, you don’t have to live so austere you don’t enjoy life. it is not a binary choice between one or the other.

>buys art, furniture
>pussy feels great

Is that what your boyfriend whispers in your ear while he fucks your boi hole?

>don’t spend your life experiencing the world and enjoying yourself, user. Save until you’re too old to even walk to that nice restaurant you always wanted to eat at.
Cringepilled. Anyone who thinks money isn’t meant to be spent is a fucking lunatic. You’re going to be rich or poor based on nothing other than fate because choice is an illusion, and I feel bad for those who get born into a life where they neglect using money to enjoy the world around them and die without having indulged in a plethora of wonderful experiences, culinary and drug included.

b&r

So bluepilled it's redpilled

I basically lived like that for years. Of course I was living by myself, and moving every year because the filthy rent jews would kike up my rent by 10-20% if I decided to stay.

I had a futon, a tv, ga.e system, and 2 tables in my living room.

All my shit fit into a uhaul and that's the way I purposely kept it.

looks fine to me.

Place looks fucking glorious to me senpai. Maybe fill the whole room with sand so you can rake away the worries

I lived in a place like that. I know exactly how those apartments smell.

Of the 20 chicks i've fucked in my life about half were in that apartment spread out over two years a decade ago

Feels very very sad

This is the gayest post i've ever read, congrats faggot.
Ps : you never gonna make it

What path did you take to land this job kind user?

Maybe I'm autistic, but that picture in the OP looks very relaxing.

What if the only things I enjoy in life are weightlifting and vidya? Those two things are very cheap...the rest of my money I invest in crypto and index funds.

Vidya is a pretty expensive hobby famalam

Also, IMO he should rotate the whole setup by 90° clockwise for optimal comfy. The TV should be on the door wall.

What index funds?

shes right, the mans a mess.

I'm all for frugality and minimalism but this apartment looks like absolute dogshit and is extraordinarily antipussy. Have some standards for yourself and if you choose not to then don't be surprised when women don't want to spend time at your place. This is just depressing.

If your crib looks like this and you want to work on it then fix the lighting, deep clean the carpet, hang up some art and get at least a loveseat. Fucking christ.

based and black pilled.

Why do people act like it's super expensive to get some basic furniture? When I first graduated from college I bought all my furniture from craigslist and facebook posts, spent like $300 to fill my house.

thanks just bought 100k dreamcatchers

is this gr8 b8? if not please fucking suedoekoo before noon

did you learn this in collage?

Did you remember to enjoy all the invisible cum and shit that was on that furniture?

Because people are generally retarded and don't know how to deal with money. Likely getting shitty ideas from their boomer parents
>Buy new user, don't want to be sitting where someone else has been! LOL!
>Just put it on your credit card, build some credit, user!
>user proceeds to buy expensive, but absolute shit-quality furniture that will need to be replaced in

Retarded boomer.
Do you shit and cum all over your own furniture?
No?
So why the fuck would actual normies do that.
Obviously vet the place and don't buy from shitholes. But if you need to be told that, then there really is no hope for you.

Ae arent on reddit here you can say fuck niggers here u underaged fag

What are some redpilled haircuts?

Funny how dumb cunts live like this and don’t see any issue.

I swear counts are the absolute worst investment. Especially roasties.

nice photoshop

Nah, I'm a college drop out and run a small business (finished carpentry... sort of). You don't have to agree with my assessment though. I still love you.

Imagine the smell

Same, easy as fuck, cheap, and then you can have fun painting your furniture to match your interior.

It’s no photoshop. Bitches can be even nastier than men.

>and to be ****ed
bettered?

happens more and more often today.

Is my living room minimalpilled?

no, you're just cheap and anxious

it's really ugly is what it is, get rid of the wallpaper, paint the walls, get rid of that ugly lamp, and maybe throw a couple things in those corners to fill out the space and it would look much nicer.

>owning unnecessary possessions
I have a bed and a laptop, some clothes, a bicycle, personal care items, a kindle, a phone, and an mp3 player (clip size), plus the bare minimum household items (one plate, one bowl, one pan, one saucepot, one teacup, a broom, a handful of utensils, some misc cleaning items). That's it. I sit on the floor or on my bed, I eat on the floor. Most of my floorspace is empty. I don't even need a dresser, just a fabric shelf from amazon for like $15.
Feels good man. OP pic is a whole lot of unnecessary shit. You don't need a fucking entertainment system, your laptop you already have can do everything, and you don't need a chair.
Furniture just creates a burden if you ever want to move, and it clutters your space. It's all unnecessary, you don't need tables and chairs. There's no difference between the floor and a table, it's a flat clean surface either way, but the floor is already there and is much more flexible a space. Chairs are stupid, you can just sit or lay on the floor.
And I'm being unironic.
Everyone who owns furniture has been brainwashed into thinking it's mandatory to buy and own that shit. Liberate yourselves from delusion. Materialism is a marketing scheme.
My clothes are all very nice and look great on me, but most are bought second-hand for very cheap. You can buy new-condition second hand clothing for dirt cheap. Like an $80 blazer for $10, and it looks and feels brand new. Many even still have the tags on them from materialistic faggots who shop and buy mindlessly and never wear half of it. Other than rent I have almost no expenses. I don't have a car, either. Just live close to downtown and you have a thousand ways to get around that don't mandate needing to spend tens of thousands and hundreds more a month on a vehicle.

Only if you are a faggot that needs to play the newest release. I always wait about three months after release when games are usually 50% off or more.

Depends on whether you want to get laid or you want to save and invest.

See nothing wrong with that apartment it’s 150 IQ design no doubt

That is a very nice room roasties
My mother was a hoarder and she kept old newspapers and other shit

>walk past an open apartment in a complex full of Indians
>totally bare save for six sleeping bags and six laptops

When you’re dead, you don’t bring any money with you

nice cope, have you ever seen a woman's bedroom and car before? They're completely trashed. Women have some serious mental problems if you ever see that, but they'll still make sure to keep up superficial appearances.

Yeah but you keep it in your family for future generations to get that ez-life, that's why real estate is so important, because inheritance keeps your children out of poverty, and they won't have to struggle as hard as the generation before.

Exacly this. You don't need any stupid furniture if you live alone and don't have guests.
And cycling is way healthier than driving.

But your children hates you becuase you're white

Are you able to bring over roasties to your place?

Depends on your income.

Bait & cope

Yes, I have a bed (mattress on the floor) and it's been well fucked in.

Cringe dude are you some anti social outcast?

What if you have friends over, or invite your parents for dinner. Or just like to write something. There is nothing wrong with being frugal but being impractical just so you can brag about it is cringy af.
