the other day a tanky said a sentence constructed like that to me too, while literally arguing for me to join his authoritarian group

Frugal/anti consumption. It used to be by necessity but now I continue by choice, to the point I don't really know what to spend my money on since I started earning full time adult minimum wage. Now on £29k and continue to not really know what to spend it on! I do get nice things but most of them don't really cost much. Like a cast iron pan I need once and doesn't cost much.
Same. When I was at a point where I was skipping a meal a day to save for rent, it was the boots problem. If I could get the nicer, more durable thing, it was always worth it in the long run but not usually affordable up front. But sometimes there are easy wins. I found my first and only cast iron skillet I've had in the last 15 years covered in grease & surface level rust next to a dumpster on the way home. Some oven cleaner and flaxseed oil and it has been good to me ever since.
It started then by saying no to eating out bc it's unaffordable, now it's saying no to eating out at a lot of places bc they have awful food, service, and management treats their workers like crap. Starbucks wasn't worth it to me for a long time before the anti union stuff, now I have two reasons (actually more) never to go there again.
This random stranger is really proud of you! Good on you, for real. :) Keep up the good work! <3
