    Wow this is so helpful. I thought skipping iPhones and avocado toast would cover it, but putting down Fido definitely makes sense.

    Here’s a couple more ideas:

    • Never leave your house.
    • Actually, get rid of the house, tents offer shelter at a fraction of the cost
    • Let grandma pull herself up by her bootstraps, physical therapy isn’t cheap.
    • If you have children, help them with interview roleplay, putting little ones to work can be a great way to increase your household income
    • cut out alcohol, tobacco and caffine, those costs can add up quick!

      If your child is young enough, you might be able to sell them to African slavers to work in diamond mines. Not only a savings but a profit!

      Euthanasia can be pretty pricey,* better to just, idfk, send Fido off on an ice floe or whatever

      Legit, actually, there have been lawmakers who’ve justified lowering the minimum work age in their states as ‘well some people really need their kids to work to afford things’. Like that’s a normal thing.
