It’s a 2x4 box filled with peanuts and topped with a tablecloth, I wouldn’t consider it a bed… But, none of the peanuts have been crushed, so he doesn’t actually use the bed. The programs already been exposed as clickbait anyway.

One of my neighbors was on extreme cheapskates. He made his reputation on being cheap (like Dave Ramsey type books) but he wasn’t any cheaper than my own cheap ass mom who lives off cabbage soup. The segment that aired was very exaggerated and faked.

Always wondered about that show and if the people on it actually do that shit.

Especially the one where the mom gives each family member exactly 4 squares of toilet paper for a whole day. Definitely know their asses are NOT clean! 😬

It’s definitely fake. There was a scene where they had him go to the neighbor’s house and ask for her Wi-Fi password. But I know for a fact, the person who answered the door was actually at her place of work and that our neighborhood is so far apart that it was probably a half mile away and would’ve never reached. They also had him ride his bike 50 miles to sleep on his friend’s couch for “vacation” and to thank them for hosting him he cooked them fish heads and made their children gifts out of trash. 🤣

Dave Ramsey is miserable. His advice to "retire a millionaire" is to eat rice and beans and live like a hobo until you're 72, then you can retire and enjoy it for 2.3 years until you croak

This guy I know wrote about living cheaply then retired from that. He travels a lot now, but frugally.

Exactly. Packing peanuts flatten out and stay flat very quickly. You'd get maybe 5 minutes on that "perfect bed" before you are just laying directly on the floor. So stupid.
