    Your own server at home is very useful and a nice hobby.

    Solar water heating can save you a lot of money and being able to take a long warm shower basically for free is very nice.

    In general things that lower your monthly expenses (rent, heating, electricity, insurance etc.) are super helpful to give you a sense of freedom. Tired of you stupid bullshit job? No problem if your living expenses are very low, just quit and look for another one without any stress.

      Exactly this, I think I’ve heard it being called something like “economical freedom”, and this is absolutely the best thing.

        Most of western society at least for the younger generations is basically a modern form of serfdom.

        Not all of it is by mischievous design, but the way western society is structured basically forces you to work and something like 80% of the returns are directly diverted to someone else’s pocket. And people are too deluded & busy to realize that, otherwise we would have had a revolution yesterday already.
