[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]how about this.
I am in IT so I know how to get most of digital stuff for free. So:
1. Free internet.
2. I get IPTV password from friend so I watch HBO/Cinemax/all channels for free
3. I have passwords for hbo now, netflix, hulu all for free
4. I rent out my 3 bedrooms in my basement which offset my mortgage 100%
5. My mortgage rate is 1%, due to me signing in for a special program(we talked about it here). I do have to go to a couple of classes a year
6. I greatly reduced my house taxes by applying and getting a tax abatement approved(down from 10k taxes per year to under $1000 per year now)
7. I get 90% off grocery bills by using employee rates, coupons, cashbacks, giftcard schemes, I barely pay for groceries, and I always go to Costco, Whole Foods, never to Giant, Safeway, etc.
8. When I pay for gas it is like 40c per gal again due to cashback schemes and programs.
9. When I need to shop at Kohls, Walmart, etc. I usually score 70% plus off again due to coupons etc.
10. My 2 kids go to private school for free( well close to free, like 2k per year total - cant divulge more)
11. We both drive 2016 Priuses and barely use any gas
12. just as anybody else no haircuts, my DW does everything herself.
13. We earn 700k each year and grow every year and are still like that but TBH this is how we became rich, by being frugal and reinvesting back.
