Our gadgets and hobbies can hurt our wallets but they are a necessary part of modern life so here we list our tips to live frugally while still being able to afford the latest flagship phone or steam DLCs. You really can have your cake and eat it too! Having a high-end PC is of course essential however a huge top of the range monitor will set you back a further chunk of cash. Simply sit closer to your current screen and BAM! Instant huge monitor. Forget about those gaming chairs you have bookmarked for future paydays. Depending on which side of the fence you sit on (that's a pun) and either stand or squat before your gaming rig for free comfort.  That coffee bean grinder you saw on that gadget site or blog, although easily justifiable, can be replaced by putting your beans in a trash bag and hitting them with a heavy object. Why even pay a dollar or pound to use the vending machine in the lobby of the motel on the next block? Think smart. Those Magic: The Gathering booster packs add up when you are buying tens of them each week and can account for large portions of your welfare checks. You have a decent printer, right? So Google image search those rare cards and print them out yourself for almost nothing! Those torrents you run continually can slow down your wifi and can increase your dota ping by up to 12 ms! If you sign up for the gym on its cheapest option you can leech their wifi during the day for less than the cost of a monthly plan at home. Bonus thrift tip: you can save your water bill by showering with other men at the gym! Moreover, many gyms have TV sets above the treadmills so you can claim the best one and watch daytime tv for free. You don't even have to turn the treadmill on.  Quick tips:
^^ nice bullet points, idiot.  Post your own frugal life hacks and each month you will have lightly more money to spend on life's luxuries. ----------------

PEPSI for TV-GAME
|
Pee in the top part of your toilet, poo in the bottom The toilet will automatically detect the pee and knows to use the pee instead of water next time you flush. This technique can save dozens of dollars annually.

A good way to save money is to eat less food because you're probably fat, also fruits and veggies are both filling and cheap

If you're running low on gas, apply the same trick you would to a nearly empty bottle of shampoo: mix in some water to stretch out the ends

When you see a dog or cat out on the street, capture it and eat it You will save lots of money on food and this adds up over time, and eventually you have enough money saved to buy a PS4

Instead of buying new clothes every time your current ones get dirty, just convince people you have a wardrobe of similar things to the point where you give them the illusion they're identical. But in reality, you don't even own that wardrobe you just rented for the afternoon! You never have to buy more than the one shirt and jeans again!
