I think I might be? I work on the principle that capitalism is my mortal enemy and I try as best I can to live my life to the full but at the cheapest possible cost, meaning as far as possible, FREE!
Which is why I buy my mobile phones for cash and will only by one with two SIM cards. SIM 1 is my PAYE phone, SIM 2 is purely for the internet. Sim 1 only expects money from me when my '£10' has been used, SIM 2 runs out every 30 days. On my old phone (one SIM only) my combined phone money and internet money ran out on me every 30 days. Which is why my wife and I downsized from a 4 bed house to a 2 bed one 30 plus years ago, I just couldn't continue to pay for space that I didn't need!
I'm not a person who thinks a good service is worth paying for, all I want is for 'it' to work. So, for example, my broadband has cost me £19.95 for the past two years but my neighbour is paying for the same thing at nearly £30 a month. I change my energy supplier every 12 months and I change my car insurance every 12 months unless the companies still keep to the same price or within £5 of it. I always buy cheap tyres for my car, (my present front tyres have now done 50,000 miles) I do not own SKY TV, nor Virgin, nor Netflix, I just can't see the point and if I book a plane, I go for cheap up to 5 hour flights, I'm not interested in 'comfort,' or drinks or food on a plane, or what some might judge as a 'status' area.
I actively try to buy cheap, even for my Hiatus Hernia, Peptak instead of Gaviscon. Even my PC tower must now be at least 10 years old, when I need to I just add an up to date part. In the fashion stakes, I don't care, I'm 74 and my M & S shirts and trousers go back years!
I have wasted money though, which I always regret, especially when I think about the silly money I paid out to buy my Paramo Alta 2, for me a total waste of money in hindsight! And I do have weaknesses, coffee and cake, eating out when hiking and wine and beer, but at least I don't smoke!
Do I compete with you?
