I always use to say that I’m cheap, but in reality, I’m frugal. A Frugal Person is someone who gets what they need, doesn’t waste, and tries to get maximum enjoyment out of that thing. So, the reason I don’t have 30 pairs of shoes anymore, is because I don’t need them. The reason why we don’t go out to eat every single day is because it's healthier, cheaper and better to eat at home.

1. Here are the Bills and How they Have Changed since I have gotten married
- You’ll notice my bills are low ( because I live in the middle of nowhere in the Dominican Republic and I love it )
- You’ll also notice the way I name things, is very precise
Shelter Cost:
- Before I got married, I lived in a 2 bedroom apartment, and I use the bedroom as a studio to make videos on YouTube
- This cost me about $152 dollars per month (and before you say, that’s so low, its all relative, incomes are not crazy high here either and you always have the option to migrate)
- Now that I got married I spend about $152 per month, the only difference I now share a house with my wife lol (nothing changed)
Utilities:
- All my utilities stayed the same except two of them ( I still don’t pay for Light or Water )
- But now my Gas bill has gone up, because my Wife cooks and before I didn’t cook anything lol
- So I would say we spend $6 a month on Gas
- $40 bucks on our phone bills
- And $50 on the internet
- I would say about $60 on subscriptions
Transportation
- Between Insurance, oil changes, and gas ( we spend about $150 bucks and that’s a lot )
- Our car is paid off, it’s a 2017 Corolla and it's ours we don’t have a payment and we bought used
Problem:
- Two people need two cars and they need safe cars and to borrow money
- And now you have $1000 per month on metal that breaks down
We Do Have some other cost:
- Insurance for Health: we’ll be getting some ( that’ll be about $70 per month )
- extra: $250 bucks
- Fun: $200 per month
2. What is the Total of all these Costs
- Our base expenses to live is $758
- Plus all the phone and insurance stuff: $1278 dollars for two people
People hear this and say, well that’s because you live where you live
- No that’s not why
- Its because we choice to live the way we live
- There are people here that spend $4,000 a month (that’s a choice )
3. Overall guys
- My wife adds so much value to me that’s it not measurable
- She came to this house and made a home
- And I could save more money being alone, but for what to accumulate more money
Advice
- Marry someone who doesn’t want to be broke forever
- Who knows self-control
- And who knows how to listen
