Putting aside the hip cussing, it's actually a pretty good list, though I take issue with the call to not have children. For me, raising children is absolutely the biggest contribution one can make to the future of the world, if one is mindful and responsible.
Anyways, over the last three years we have gone from living on 3000€ to 2000€ (mainly by moving to Europe), and now plan on going down to 1000€ (by buying or own house in the countryside). And we're a family of 4.

- jdmoreira 10y agoThat's a very impressive budget for a family of four. Where are you living in Europe? I'm Portuguese but living in Stockholm (super expensive city! More than 1000€ just for rent)

- a3n 10y agoI objected to the children thing as well, but for slightly different reasons. He says find meaning in some other way. But what's wrong with finding meaning through children? Is it any worse than finding meaning through frugality? To take it to an extreme, if none of us had children, then everything else would have no meaning because we'd all be gone in about 75 years. Children give everything else meaning.
