Hey, thanks for having me.
man a lot i'm a dollar store kind of guy even though i like my high-end labels and like the dress and you know dress well and things like that so i paper plates um thinner sort of napkins and things like that i'm getting from the dollar store you can even buy this drink sparkling ices which i love i get those from there that's my store um i absolutely love it and i swear by it especially with everything going up because you know it kind of trickles down so they're going up slightly a bit but
Not as far as these grocery stores and these other places out there as well.
Well, I've always been someone that liked to, you know, buy something nice for myself.
It became like less often and more splurgy.
So I began cutting back on things and then I'll just say like, hey, it's something that I really want.
I think my last biggest purchase was the couch that I got from Restoration Hardware.
But a purchase before that was...
a rolex uh but i also find with things like that it's always something that i can always sell back or something like that you know people like to buy used furniture based off how it looks and rolex as long as you keep it in great condition that's something that can always go back so that kind of lets me rest assured as well uh but as of lately i've been you know doing a little more splurging if you will so what kind of money we're talking about for the couch and the rolex
All right.
So the couch, 6K from Restoration Hardware and, oh my God, the Rolex.
It was used that I purchased and that was for $18,000.
Right, but it's not just me cutting down on napkins and toiletries and stuff like that.
It's a lot of things that I found myself that I was spending money on that I kind of cut back on.
Me, I've always been sort of a cable guy, no matter what was happening with the apps and things like that.
I'm all Xfinity.
I'm going to get Deluxe Package.
But it's not until I've been noticing everything to where I downloaded the app Sling, which
which sort of acts as a guide, gives you all the channels and things like that, lets you DVR and all of that stuff without paying.
I have a low cut, a baldy kinda, so there are times where I cut and shave my own head and my beard to cut down the haircut cost, which is pretty high because, especially in Atlanta, they charge a lot for haircuts here, and that alone could save you like a few hundred bucks a month.
