The number of Tony Robbins-esque rah-rah lifestyle articles here has gotten entirely out of hand lately. Seeing this at #1 on the site today makes me want to delete my HN bookmark and be done with it.
- MrUnknown 16y agoThen do it! Believe in yourself!
- rms 16y agoOK, it was a good joke, but signing up new accounts for one joke works on reddit, not here.
- MrUnknown 16y agoSorry, this is my normal username I sign up with and I didn't create a throwaway account. I just rarely comment. My username on reddit is the same also. 2+ Years or so and no comments.
- jpr 16y agoI disliked the article itself too, but find that the nice discussion it caused balances it out.
- MrUnknown 16y agoI think a lot of people read its title and dismissed the article out-right because they didn't want to be called a loser because they considered themselves "frugal." The author of the article actually describes real frugalness, by getting what you pay for instead of just buying the cheapest thing possible.
