There's a woman at my work who was the subject of an episode of TLC's Extreme Cheapskates. Nearly everything she eats, owns or wears is from someone's trash. She owns an apartment in Harlem and has a solid salary, and spends less than $10k/year. Her monthly budget is less than $100. People look at her funny, but she must be sitting on at least a million.
- They showed her serving near-rotten food to guests on TV after dressing like a homeless person to dumpster-divemonospaced
- Is she the Chinese Lady who has her buddy over for dinner?
dasohr - yes, I just saw her walking around on the floormonospaced
- lol, i saw that episode. I get what she's doing, but it's def not everyones piece of cake...
dasohr - I get it too, but can't she at least buy a clean new bed and underwear first?monospaced
- be cheap, but at least start with something that isn't trashmonospaced
- and she works at a financial institution? she must clean up nice
Gnash - although she is in professional servicesk, I don't feel her appearance is adequatemonospaced
- not worth it.dbloc
- she may be sitting on a million dollars, but what is she going to do with it? Let's do the math: say she has 1 million dollars...bulletfactory
- if she spends 10k/year, she has 100 years of rope - why does she work? she could take up dumpster diving as a full-time job.bulletfactory
- exactly why she's "extreme"monospaced
