Why do people take so much pride in living a frugal life nowadays?

why do people take so much pride in living a frugal life nowadays?

...

Because it's "cool" and "hip"

It makes it easier to save up for that double-edged 14" black dildo

>Reddit
There's your problem, user.

Its not only on reddit, I see it more and more in daily life, too.

kek

Same reason why the Soviet Union called the USA inferior for being "decadent"(ie, wealthier). When you're poor and you see no way to get anything better than the shit sandwich you have, you rationalize that shit is the new chocolate.

What picture are the referring to?

Also, Reddit is filled with liberals who probably live in a city with high rent. Theyre probably bad with their finances

I have a buddy who makes like 70k, wears shitty clothes and has an almost decade old shit iphone3 and tells me "look i can afford better but think about the childrun in africa!!"

Because you need to have something to talk about at starbucks besides your lastest iphone and h&m skinny jeans

This one, its on the front page

>5k upvotes for a bowl of rice and beans
lmao

The more I make, the more my government spend on bombing people far away, that hate me without meeting me.
What's wrong with living frugal to deny them more $? I could drive a Mercedes, and give them lots of money to bomb anyone they don't agree with.
If I chose to eat rice and beans, to deny them $ why are you upset? It's my sacrifice, not yours.

You are right, you can do that but its becoming a new trend, the new "veganism" lets say. People literally advocating only this way of life.

I think it feeds into their victim mentality or their whole liberal "starving artist" vibe many of them have.

That person is clearly well off to afford a home, but they make rice and beans and everyone know to fuel their view that they're oppressed too

Reddit has been like this for a very long time.
They take pride in poverty. It's cool to be poor there and wealth is shamed.
It's no wonder socialism thrives there.

Why don't you discuss this topic in the reddit thread you made a picture of?

you're 100% correct wannabe dutch flag but I don't really think it looks that bad, would try it if hungry

I don't advocate it. I'm not a vegan (fuck you for labeling me as one). I don't shove my opinion down any ones throat.
It's passive resistance. It's all I have until the chicken heads around me wake up and want to rebel. The system is fucked (just look at our politics) and that's my passive revolution.
Probably going to buy 10 acres in the mountains, and stop paying anything I can avoid because my government is shit.

Why do you buy into a falling system? You were told by your government to accept terrorism. Why support that ideology? There are better ways to live, user-kun.

It's in my blood

R A R E

Because people are poor. What are you going to do? Keep stressing about it? No, try to defend it as a virtue instead.

Slave morality.

Read Nietzsche.

...

it's a reflection of the state of the global economy coupled with the self entitled dumb generation who rather get this years ifad product than eat a square meal.

i fear for all of us in retirement. someone will have to prop all of these deadshits up.

Eggs are an anytime food bro.
Plus gotta get them healthy fats in somehow.
I do what I do because I don't like cooking and most of this takes minutes to prepare and leaves minimal cleaning up to be done.

based, keep it up

Perhaps they want to be like Jesus.

>no activated almonds
hahaha kill yourself pinner faggot

Remember to activate your almonds, user

>eating reduced fat anything

also get some sun my dude

>People literally advocating only this way of life
What is objectively wrong with living a frugal life? Is it just because you don't like it?

This is GOLD and i kek every time
>small pieces of metal
>a "yard" of feta cheese
>2:30am "Just screaming"
>A "cheeky" bedtime sausage

This. Who cares if people want to spend less on food?

Lesser dependency on the system. These morons do it for oppression points thought that's why they are on reddit like the faggot known as OP.

Kill him
