The audience that these types of blog posts are targeting aren't those of who are stuck making minimum wage, but instead those who are fairly well off but think they aren't because they keep spending yearly costs on $1000 phones, 5+ subscription services, large housing costs, eating out multiple times per week, etc.
- duxup 9y agoI don't know who the target audience is. I'm not sure your issues you address are anymore a path to financal independence than anyone else offers. It's really easy to pick our personal boogeymen that no doubt play a part in things, and make them more of the issue than they really are.
- xboxnolifes 9y agoI'm just repeating issues that the blog authors from FrugalWoods, MMM, MadFientist, ERE, ERN, etc, all bring up as their main points for obtaining wealth (Or being financially independent as they call it). And they were merely examples of a large list of things that increase spending, hence the 'etc'. Each of them typically does three things: They keep their household yearly spending under $35,000 (some even less than this), increase income as much as possible, and invest the savings, taking advantage of tax-deferred accounts whenever possible. Though, the three things are basically common sense when you think about it.
