The one thing I haven't seen discussed is Transportation!

For those of us who have a job or are looking, transportation is very important!

It is also important that it is cheap and reliable, not often two things that go well together!

Bikes are OK but if you live in an area where it's a minimum if 10 miles to any place that has work it isn't much help!

Plus most cheap cars don't get great gas mileage (Mine costs almost 120-200 a month in gas) AND you car is often a dead giveaway that you are a poor person!

What suggestions do allz you poor people have regarding cheap and reliable transportation?

Look into electric bicycle conversions. They're only a few hundred -and- have the range needed to get you about 30 miles round trip. Instead of showing you're poor, your co-workers are fascinated. They can solar-charge too, depending.

car-pool to work. rid a bike to a place where your carpool will pick you up. if you have a friend who likes to cruise around on the weekends suggest you be a wingman for a bit. I suppose subway and bus were not a possibility. Zip car for when you occasionally need wheels of your own. House sitting sometimes includes reasonable use of the car. you can look smooth or you can be cheep but to look smooth while you are on the cheep is tricky. You can adopt the response that you are not a materialist.

You can read some Chiltons manuals from the library and do your own minor repairs. If you buy parts at scrap yards you can save a bundle. You may have to go extract the used part yourself though.
Tell people the "its the journey not the destination" quote if for aimless people and you have higher goals.

help out as many people as you can in favors; especially when it is something they can not do for themselves. karma will come in other strange ways. make friends, talk with people. they can give you leads on things you never would have expected. avoid bad habits, avoid excessive luxury items except when they are needed for work image. e.g. ties at thrift shops are cheap. share resources, get a roommate. draw up a budget. track where money goes and money comes. even just the act of keeping track of every penny will force you to consider the value of your actions.

if these guys are in your area you can get decent food for a good price.

dont neglect good nutrition, it will mess with your head, attitude, and energy. eat a healthy diet. I cut sodas and saved a bundle, and it was better for my teeth according to my dentist.

it is cheaper to get caffene tablets than to spend $$$ on coffee. You may even save time in prep, and cleaning up and have a free hand to use for other activities...

without specifics, us anons can only give general advice...

i dont have $ but what i have i give to you.

So I'm trying to save money to move out of FL, and was just informed that I'll have to be paying for my own cell phone. Any tips on prepaid wireless? I don't think I can really afford a cell phone bill right now, but I don't want to get fucked by Trakphone-tier bullshit.

Get whatever prepaid plan you want, then don't ever call your parents. Tell them you can't afford a cellphone, and if they ever want to speak to you again, they will have to pay for it.

I hate that google tracks everything everyone does but if you can get it google voice had phone numbers, free like g-mail. you can forward any line that calls your number to any other phone, or have it go to voice mail or you can select which numbers go to which places you want. It is highly customizable, I cant tell everything here. Have everything go to vm then check on net or at work or at friends or at any place you have access. Use the pay per go for outgoing calls you cant make at work or elsewhere. Get yo ass on your feet, get a job that requires you to have a cell. That responsibility helps you bootstrap to where you will not have to resort to survival tactics.
Universities sometimes have loose security in computer labs, internet cafes are sometimes tricky. There are some linux distros which will run an entire operating system from a cd rom and not install on the host computer. You can use that for net access if they have policy that make you not have access/or monitored access at work. Make some friends & offer to swap some thing like help for net access before askin for it. Karma works. "Just to help out", that way the friend will not feel you are just moochin' The grass grows quick in Florida, offer to cut the lawn, wash the car, put out the cat, feed the aligators, whatever.

Hope it turns out well.

i tink voice.google.com will get you there.

Hei guise!
Although I have sufficient funds to eat normally every month, there isn't enough for much else. I was thinking of producing my own food by harvesting insects. There are however probably kinks I don't know about. The only thing I'm curently worried about are parasites and space. How big of a fish tank do I need, to secure a meal a day?

It can be any edible species of insect. Preferably several in one tank.

This, exactly.
Something like beans that's nutritious but tastes like cardboard becomes delicious with 7 cents worth of spice. Use different spices, and you have a different meal from the same lousy beans.
One question though, I've never heard that spicy food fills you up faster, tell me more.

Hello, I myself have experimented in this realm of thinking. Although I have never gone large scale, I have taken maggots from my compost pile. They turned out rather well, I recommend them for your cooking exploits. As for cooking, I first rinse them then put them onto a hot skillet, and when they start to explode (literally) they are done. I made them into a nice omelet. I wish you luck in your hobby.

Has anyone got experience in hiring freelancers for software development on sites like Odesk? I submitted a project and got some offers, but I’m scared to trust them. Half of them where Indians who made it clear they had no idea what my project was and had just submitted a request, and upon debate got none the wiser. Others gave weak replies and I demanded a really low price for my website so I’m unsure if they would actually produce something that was half-good. It seemed a little too good to be true. I basically gave them a stupid idea that would be really work intensive and offered money. I have proper ideas I want to commercialize but now I’m unsure.

Quinoa, hemp seeds, rice, fish, beans, cottage cheese/fresh cheese curds, potatoes and soy are pretty good nutrition wise and cost wise but it all depends on your own particular situation; where you live, who you know, how adventurous you are. You can find perfectly good nutritional food for free in both city and country in most places.

Bulk rice, dry beans, potatoes, eggs, flour, poultry

Learning how to cook will save you a lot of money.

Modern Mom 13/04/18(Thu)15:56 No. 1208 ID: 9155bc

learn about complete proteins
eat a wholefood-based multivitamin to round the corners you miss
the less packaging you buy around your food, the cheaper it is. a 1.60 cup of rice and beans is like 4x more than a cup of beans mixed from your own bulk reserve of 30# rice and beans

BudK has really cheap knives


>>

>>1191
Stay away from BudK like the plague. The knives they sell are roughly the same quality as the ones you find at flea markets and gas stations, with the addition of a shipping charge. My go-to has been Smokey Mountain Knife Works. You'll have to spend $20-30 a pop, but they generally sell good stuff. And yes, you're only getting a little 2-3" folder, but its much more useful than a 6" or larger fixed blade, and in most places you can carry it in your pocket. My personal favorite is a little lockback box cutting knife I got for $10 from Craftsman. Will cut anything and everything, and when it can't, flip the blade around or change it out.

actually, I've found the best prices for production knives on Amazon, believe it or not. I got a Kabar tanto on there for $53 with free shipping, the kharon tanto for $22 and FS, and the CS recon 1 tanto for $60 plus FS.

I find amazon to be a good money saver because often, the products have a free shipping offer.

Cob home general thread Modern Mom 13/03/16(Sat)20:55 No. 1065 ID: f32f24 [Reply]

File 136346374788.jpg - (51.12KB , 384x269 , cob home.jpg )

Serp /jew/. I need ideas today.

I'm wanting to build a cob house somehow, preferably outside of the U.S. in a country such as Wales, Canada or the like (basically somewhere forested with good hills, mountains and rivers). Ideally I'd like to start an eco-village, but let's stick with the former for now.

How might I go about doing this? Currently I'm working two jobs (both minimum wage, I'm afraid) in order to pay my current living expenses and save up whatever little I can. I may be attending community college soon to work toward an Associates degree, but I'm not convinced college alone can help me achieve this, as I think I'd be getting myself farther in debt than necessary or even practical in this current economy. Basically, I don't want to become a debt slave after I earn my Associates if I can avoid it. I've also been considering focusing on a specific trade for awhile before transferring to a bigger university first in the hopes of being that much better off.

How might I be able to earn up enough credit (and whatever else might be necessary) to buy arable land in another country to do this? Ideally I'd like to go completely off-grid, but that requires me owning land and a home (desiring cob design in my case) first.

I guess I'm looking for a few basic answers and general insight. My questions are:

>Is college (for either Associates or Bachelors degrees) really necessary to get my feet off the ground?
>Would it be worth my time instead to focus on an immediate trade (probably something like railroading, welding, carpentry or forestry)?
>What are the stipends outside of the U.S. for buying land? I'd like to shoot for Wales if at all possible.
>What are the regulations for cob home design?
>Any further thoughts or ideas?
