Whether or not this guy is actually homeless is up for debate. What's not debatable is the pervading level of stingy "I spend hours and hours to save a few bucks" mentality that runs through this piece.
- snarf21 1y agoI agree. In the end, we trade our time for money and our money for (different) time. There also gets a point where some of these things become "penny wise and pound foolish". I'm reminded of the people who spend 20 minutes driving across town to save $0.20 a gallon on gas. Which even in an empty 15 gallon tank, is a savings of only $3.00. Net cost benefit analysis says they would be better off working an a fast food restaurant or something for a higher trade-off of money per hours.
- Simon_O_Rourke 1y agoYes exactly this... Queues of cheapos outside the lowest price gas station in town to save a pittance in dollar terms but not realize the lost opportunity cost striving to save a buck.
