Well the sad and simple way: - Food: Go to the cheapest store that still has normal vegtables, cook for yourself whenever possible, don't buy overly expensive stuff like avokados or good cheese. - Transportation: Bike/Foot - Bakery/Concerts/Vacation/Cinema/Bars/mobile-internet etc: don't - Accomodation: shared - Other necessities: only buy when broken, google for 3 hours to find the cheapest thing that won't break all too easily or go 2nd hand. Save at least 1000 bucks in case something big like your laptop breaks.

  Really depends on what you need of course. My laptops always died of hardware failure/milage (while the desktops kept working) after 4-5 years and on the 2nd or 3rd battery (daily commute with a laptop does lower the life-time considerably I think).

I feel like I've saved enough money going vegetarian to afford the good cheese and avocados. (I'll never quit dairy. That's a quality of life thing for me.)

Not sure I'd want to continue living after making all these adjustments. What's the point?

This is some minimum to live without much worries, everything above can go towards security, culture, good food and entertainment. What remains near to free: creating, learning, loving, socialising and helping others. Even the free things need time though, so one might also take exchange having less income for more time to do nice things.
