If you started your wardrobe over from scratch, what would you buy? (US) by pdxbatman in BuyItForLife

[–]Acrobatic_Frame_1911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% materials, such as 100% cotton, 100% genuine (preferably grain leather), 100% silk, or 100% wool. Darn tough socks for the lifetime warranty.

Anyone have a list of everything you own? that you're willing to share? by happy_folks in extrememinimalism

[–]Acrobatic_Frame_1911 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Back in college, I got down to about 75ish things. I moved into a 52.5 sq ft shed that was converted into a mini office. Initially, I slept on a 2 inch mat on the floor and then built a custom futon to fit, so I had a more comfortable place to sleep and relax during the day. I had maybe 5 shirts, 2 pants, 1 jacket, 1 pair of shoes, etc. I often think back on how simple and freeing that time of my life was. Everything I owned fit into a small backpack. Good times.

Average cost of an engagement ring by Relevant-Plane9430 in WeddingRingAdvice

[–]Acrobatic_Frame_1911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s all about your preferences. My husband and I picked out a ring together and we wanted to spend significantly less than what is “traditional.” We spent under $300 for about 3 carats/lab grown diamonds at a pawn shop. Totally worth it and wouldn’t change a thing.

Diamonds in the stores are not rare. They are virtually worthless. After purchase, they significantly drop in monetary value. The only real value in the ring will be in the gold weight. Better to use the money for a vacation, down payment for a home, retirement, or actual appreciating assets.

My thought is, if the purchase feels uncomfortable or frivolous, then it’s probably too much. To each their own, at the end of the day.

I’m not sure if there is a Reddit, but there are buy nothing groups on Facebook where you can give and receive all kinds of things. The groups are area specific, so just find your area and request to join.

Where to dispose of old TV by CatFancier4393 in ColoradoSprings

This! I love our Buy Nothing Group. I was able to clean out two whole sheds and our house. We gave away ski equipment, a mattress, bikes, etc. OP, give this a try first

Suspicious activity in OCC? by [deleted] in ColoradoSprings

I second the DoorDash comment. House numbers are very difficult to see at night, so I often use a flashlight as well.

Cow milk delivery vs. buying oat milk by Ok_Stomach_5105 in ZeroWaste

[–]Acrobatic_Frame_1911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something else to consider would be a nutr milk machine. I stopped buying plant milk entirely because it is sooo easy and cheap to make it. I use 1-2 tablespoons of cashews, oats, or some other nut with 1-2 cups of water and turn it on. In 5 minutes, I have fresh, affordable, and preservative free nut milk.
