You live with 4 other people, you take a bus to get around, you live on $7 per day for food, and you go out once a month. I have you beat in every way.

I hate to go against the grain and go against all the long-time ballin posters, but I definitely agree with your lifestyle.
Save money now and invest, so you don't have to have nothing to fall back to when you're umemployed and things go to shit.
Smart move, OP...but all that comes at a price that i guess you're willing to pay.

I eat very well...just not
I eat very well...just not out. You can purchase a very healthy lunch from a grocery store (which you have to make yourself) for about 3.50. I eat very little for dinner, so the price for that comes out about the same...
So, I eat well, feel great, maintain weight, and spend less money.
"Easy pussy," imo, is probably easy for a reason.
I'm 22, plenty of people on the street make more than I do because plenty of people are older than I am.
I'm just watching that portfolio growww

The people here are saying, that they live more baller lives then you. People (ecluding IP) who are in finance are there to live baller lives. You sir are openly bragging about not living a baller life therefore we look down at you. But you will more then likely get a SB from IP for living on the cheap. And FYI, I have you beat, by far, I make more and spend less and live way more baller then you.
