When I was a kid, I once heard a story about hares that were driven to the top of a hill by a flood and cut off from the outside world. And about the wise owl who advised them to grow wings and fly away. And when one of the hares timidly asked how they could put the advice into practice, the owl replied that it was tactics, and its business was strategic advice.

Then, many years ago, I did not fully understand the irony of this parable. Now, as an adult, and regularly confronted with all sorts of financial advice from experts, I finally realized all its wisdom. Finance and frugal tips can really be incredibly useful, however, with one limitation - they are not suitable for everyone.

30 Money-Saving Hacks That Seem To Work For Everyone Except These Folks, As Listed Online For me, it’s get roommates and live somewhere cheaper. I have PTSD from an old roommate pulling a knife on me, another ex-roommate SAing me, and I’m also a massive introvert. Home is my happy place. I don’t drink or go to bars, my hobbies are v low cost, and so I spend more of my paycheck on housing costs than others might. Solely for peace of mind.

At the end of the day, money isn’t everything and quality of life is important. Being frugal means not spending money frivolously, but ensuring peace of mind and comfort isn’t frivolous imo.

No, we are by no means saying that frugal tips are not helpful at all. Just the opposite - but it often turns out that we cannot apply them to ourselves. For example, advice to do gardening for a person who lives in the very center of a metropolis, or follow that '50/30/20' budgeting strategy at a time when about half of your budget is being eaten up by debt payments. Without immersion in the context of each individual case, advice is almost useless.

30 Money-Saving Hacks That Seem To Work For Everyone Except These Folks, As Listed Online I'm really annoyed with the "grow your own food, it's cheaper" tips. Has anyone ever managed to keep basil alive? And then you have to buy pots, soil, fertilizer and in summer water the plants every day. It's very time consuming. And the whole plant could die on you.

I grow some stuff as a hobby, chilis, chokeberries, grapes and strawberries, but it doesn't save money.

And yet we sometimes tend to believe in universal solutions. Scientists call this the 'Forer effect' or the 'Barnum effect' (named after Phineas Barnum, creator of the legendary circus empire in the 19th century). According to this effect, it is natural for a person to project even the most vague and uncertain forecast or advice onto themselves, finding similarities even in opposite situations. It is possible that the numerous financial literacy tips are just a special case of the Barnum effect.

I saw this in another post here recently, but evidently if you have a gift card for Costco then you can use it to get in the store and make a purchase without needing a membership. The gift card does not need to cover your entire purchase, since you can pay for the rest of your purchase with cash or a debit/credit card, so you can just get the cheapest gift card you can find.

the fall-back position here in steamy TX after getting the wealth-confiscating electric bill in August is to set up a cool room in the house with a window ac. Instead of cooling the whole house, you only cool the bedroom/tv room. Ceiling fans help. The rest of the house can be cooled off using an attic fan and open windows The temperature can drop by 20 degF after the sun goes down and the hot air is pumped out of the oven-hot attic. The window AC makes a buzzing "white noise" that can actually be calming & help you get to sleep after you finally get used to it...

In any case, not a single selection of even the most useful tips can replace an individual consultation with a financial expert, because we are all completely different. If you remember, the great inventor Thomas Edison once said: "Genius is one per cent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration". It sounds impressive, but in practice it is probably applicable only to one person - Edison himself, who until the last years of his life had an incredible capacity for work, but always lacked theoretical knowledge. Similarly, advice from, say, Warren Buffett may sound very convincing, especially given the name of an expert, but it can only be suitable for a limited circle of people.

30 Money-Saving Hacks That Seem To Work For Everyone Except These Folks, As Listed Online Thrifting as your main source of clothing. It's great if you're on a smaller size, which is cool, you'll have lots of options and can take things in. I wear 14-16, L-XL depending on brands. My options are all either really short things, really out of style things, or just unavailable because they're already gone. And now with resale market booming the good stuff is gone off the racks quick, and i'm not willing to pay $12 for an old navy shirt that I can buy on sale for 5.99. All good brands are gone before I even get there. I used to get decent work stuff, leggings and other work out clothes, even got a nice, outdoor branded puffer jacket for like $15. But now, a stained tshirt goes for 7.99+. I just wait for sales, and buy better things at retail stores.

( If someone is dirt poor & lives next door to WalMart, ok -- that I understand. No other option in life, to survive. )

But dude, I usually hear these endorsements from people who are upper/middle class, & have more dough than me. 🤯 it's so annoying.

Therefore, we should act like gold diggers of old times, sorting through tons of sand for the sake of one or two golden grains.

Not even the ritziest ones. For me it's all about the cleanliness and security in the building and safety of the area.

Garnier Fructis is the worst. Same with Pert and Head and Shoulders. A hairstylist told me those anti-shed and anti-dandruff shampoos seem like they work at solving your head issues but all they do is leave a filmy sort of adhesive that makes your hair and dandruff stick to your head. The more you use the product the more build up you get. When you stop using it and use a regular shampoo all the stuff stuck to your head gets free and you'll shed and flake like never before. It gives the illusion that you need to use the anti-dandruff/hair shed shampoo and the cycle continues. That's what was explained to me in layman's terms. I'm sure there's a better scientific explanation that's more accurate. Aveeno shampoos and conditioners are nice, though. You don't really need to break the bank for the high end salon stuff.

30 Money-Saving Hacks That Seem To Work For Everyone Except These Folks, As Listed Online All the US-centric advice, tbh. Yes, I understand that most of the sub is probably from the US, but not everyone, and it's fairly grating when people just assume that everyone is from the US.

Eg. "Buy in ethnic stores!" - yes, they're probably cheaper than supermarkets/etc... *IN THE USA.* But where I live, "ethnic" stores are crazy expensive because they do in fact carry imported "exotic" stuff. There are the so-called "Chinese" stores usually ran by Chinese or Vietnamese owners that carry a lot of items that are off-brand/downright fake/sourced in less than fully ethical or legal ways, they used to be a bit cheaper than supermarkets, but not anymore... or when they *are* the product is painfully low quality or downright dangerous.

TBH, random US-centric advice doesn't even help everyone in the US. There are numerous regional differences. Where I live, the 'ethnic markets' are either generically Slavic (mostly Polish and Ukrainian) or generically Asian (mostly Chinese with some Japanese, Vietnamese, and Thai ingredients that happen to cross over). But every region has different dominant cultural influences. Obviously, people are going to give advice based on what they know; I would have no idea of how to advise someone from India or Germany on how to save money, nor would I try. Perhaps it would be best to preface such advice with one's own general location.

30 Money-Saving Hacks That Seem To Work For Everyone Except These Folks, As Listed Online Anything concerning energy and being uncomfortable. Yes, I can always put a sweatshirt on. Yes. I can always take clothes off.

But no a/c meant I couldn’t comfortably cook. Turning heat off or down in the winter meant arthritis flair ups, and I was miserable, cranky, hated life. Either means poor quality sleep.

Anything that involves changing skin care or hair care. I have a lot of sensitivities, and while I’ve tried all of the cheap brands, I always end up going back to the stuff that works and doesn’t make me miserable.

Meal prep. I don’t get how people do this. I’ve yet to see a TikTok demonstration that looks like it would be good for every single day.

Quality moving boxes from a hardware store only cost about $2 and will make moving day a breeze. They're also going to hold up well to be used to subsequent moves, so store them under a bed or in the back of a closet

It’s not common advice but performing maintenance on your car, like an oil change. Changing out windshield wipers or air filters is one thing. Changing your own oil - if you don’t have the tools - is not THAT much cheaper than taking it to the mechanic (although it is in the long run). The other aspect is that it could be dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing because you’re physically going under your car to perform the task. My driveway is on an incline so I’d rather not.

Every month my electric company sends an e-mail telling me my household uses more electricity than average, and gives lame a*s tips on how to save energy. We already use our AC as little as possible, but when the house feels like an oven for half the year and an ice box for the other, wtf can we do?! Am I just supposed to deal with heat stroke when my home’s interior is near 100 degrees? I’m about as sparing as I can be, and I’m still stuck paying several hundreds of dollars for electricity every month.

30 Money-Saving Hacks That Seem To Work For Everyone Except These Folks, As Listed Online For me, Costco & Sam's Club are NOT cheaper than supermarkets. And, when I do shop there I spend way more than I would regular grocery shopping. When I had a four person household, the main savings were the pharmacy, roasted chicken, smoked salmon, lunch meat and sliced cheese. Now the household is down to me and my son, who works at a restaurant and gets 1-2 meals free per day. I was buying the roasted chicken weekly and converting that to soups, meat for casseroles and salads but have gotten a little tired of that. Neither store has good rolls, bagels, or bakery breads in my opinion. Sam's had good deals on wine but no longer. I also go tired of, after returning home, having to immediately repackage bulks products into smaller packages to freeze or store. And, maintaining plastic bags and containers for packing is a pain.
