The out of the box answer

This sub is full of the best advice like cook your own food, cancel subscription and buy second hand. <br><br>But I would like to add from outside of the box and more like a long term strategy. <br><br>If you are in your 20-30, don’t go for the high pay jobs. <br><br>Those kind of jobs require you to full time work, to wear expensive clothes, to eat outside, to buy new cars, to buy expensive homes etc. <br><br>They require you to be expensive. You will not be frugal with a high pay job. And definitely not if you are under 40. <br><br>And that’s not all, the more you earn the more you pay your taxes, if you live in a country like Denmark where 50% of your income goes to the State or something like that. And then if you are rarely at home because you are working 60h a week then you will be lonely and stressed and you will need to go to therapy and or to buy expensive stuff that will not make you feel better.<br><br>I’m in my late 20 and I have two kids and I’m living in a small town in Spain. I work 20h a week for a very good government paid job and I earn around 2500€. I’m happy, I have a frugal and comfortable life and I’m not stressed at all. I’m outdoors with my children everyday. I have the best frugal life you can’t imagine.
