hn has an outspoken minority actively competing in the cheapskate olympics. everyone's circumstances are different, do what makes sense to you.
there's always some penny pinching proselytizer trying to tell other people how to live.
i find it better to focus on making more money.
- JimboOmega 11y agoMy personal favorite are those people who are living in a rent controlled apartment that they split with a partner and pay $700 on. They say "$2k for an apartment? That's way too much! Why don't you move to [place]?" Honestly if you haven't rented an apartment in the last few years, you have no idea. You also have no idea how lucky you are to get that rent control subsidy.
- angelbob 11y agoSure. You just have to be careful with the "make more money" mentality because it eventually leads you out of being a full-time software developer. You can go manager or freelancer, of course.
