Anything else I am missing? Who's doing it even more hardcore than I plan to?

write these down:
Fast food napkins. Grab a handfull. No more buying paper towels or kleenex.
Take trash to stores or find a dumpster. No more trash bin fees if applicable.
ziplock bags to collect hand soap in from stores restrooms. No more buying soap.
Save dried pizza crust for soups. No more buying crackers.
grow your own tomatoes. No more buying bud.
Urinate outside instead of flushing. Cut down on elecrticity and water use.
If you like walking buy used tires. New tires are a bad investment on a car that remains stationary.
Buy food stuff   that comes in big bowls and reuse the bowls. No more buying plates.
If you drink beer or soda, buy in cans to recycle. Aluminum pays best. 24 oz cans wheigh more. when recycleing aluminum cans add bacon grease. That shit hardens up and is not detectable by magnants.

Original Message Once I get my own house (still in high school) I would only keep the heater at 33 degrees to keep the water from freezing, I'll grow my own food and line dry my own clothes instead of getting a dryer. I'll just put a damn coat on for heat, no need to pay a hundred buck every month to warm my home.

I am only getting the cheapest catastrophic insurance, cheapest car insurance, a used car but I am willing to walk five miles without a car, so to absolutely minimize my gas consumption. I'll try to figure a way to use free energy for electricity, if not then I will unplug everything that I am not using.

No vacations, no visiting distant relatives (my used car would break down before I get there anyways, you can't get a quality used car), no tv, no cable, no PHONE (I'm deaf), only a used computer and Internet. No credit card, and probably no mortgage.

Anything else I am missing? Who's doing it even more hardcore than I plan to? If you live frugally can you also include how much it's costing you?
