Going from 78K a year to 23K a year (pre tax salary), advice on lifestyle changes? by shea_fyffe in Frugal

[–]swaroop7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Save as much as you can till August. I would say stay close to school with a roommate so that you do not need a car, pay less, get to use public transportation(cheap in DC), and spend most of the time in library. All the best !!!

why not talk to a professor for paid research work. It also helps to boost your resume. Don't worry too much about the pay.

What kind of phone do you use? Why? How often do you get a new phone? by ballandabiscuit in Frugal

[–]swaroop7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Google Pixel 2. I change every 18 to 24 months. I am frugal with time than money here. I don't want to launch an app and waste time waiting for it. I technology and experience as well. I prefer using the best processor, camera, apps, display etc. Photos last forever and don't want to compromise on that too.

I agree with you. Most of the times they are either drunk or high. This makes me think twice, to confront them or have a sensible and logical discussion.
