We get rye, spelt, and the white flour is just from wherever because they only carry whole grain. We use about 70% rye now. Easier to digest

Agreed. Almost worst than fiat because it's the wolf in sheep's clothing

Since i turned to Christ and started asking him for help about five years ago; i met my now wife and found true love, had my beautiful daughter, was blessed with 5 acres on the hill overlooking the valley and lake, had the opportunity to build my family our home, have found true joy, met a community of friends who actually show up, got rid of all my fake friends, have found God, rid myself of my addictions, have healed from twenty years in chronic pain, my business tripled in revenue with my inputs dropping by 60%, and my bitcoin stack has been growing in value. #Christ #praisetheLord #blessings #truth #christianity #hope #answeredprayers #ChristisKing #salvation #Godisgood

I’ve sampled all the fancy rich people stuff at this point in life and will now tell you what’s worth it and what’s not


Fancy car - Not worth it. Save the money and get a regular car.

Really fancy car - Maybe worth it? Depends. If you’re super into cars these are pretty fun.

First class air travel - Worth it. But fair warning you can’t go back to economy once you get used to first.

Private air travel - Not worth it. Too expensive. Unless you’re some kind of huge celebrity you’ll be fine in first class.

Luxury hotel rooms - Worth it. There’s a big difference between the ritz and the best western. Enough said.

Fancy watch - Maybe worth it? Similar to the really fancy car thing. If you like it go for it, if not don’t worry you aren’t missing out on anything.

Fancy clothes - Not worth it. Rich people don’t wear this crap. Gucci, LV etc is for upper middle class people to signal to poor people.

Mansion - Worth it. Having a nice home is always nice, probably don’t go obnoxiously large though. Beyond 10k square feet you’re going to have weird maintenance and headaches taking care of the home.

Private chef - Not worth it. The food tastes good, but it’s another person in your house and that shit gets annoying.

Yacht - Maybe worth it? This goes in the same category as super cars and watches. If you’re into boats and you like spending time on the water it might be worthwhile. Otherwise just hangout by the pool, lake, ocean
 same vibe but cheaper.

Maids - Worth it. Nobody wants to do their own cleaning.

Fancy food - Not worth it, caviar and foie gras will never beat burger and fries. High quality food yes, fancy rich guy food no. Maybe every once in awhile.

Fancy booze - Not worth it. Gets you drunk the same as regular booze. The richest friend I have drinks natty light. True story.

Read ecclesiastes. This has been know for thousands of years.

A lot of people have heard my moped story but I don’t think I’ve ever told the story of my extremely cheap wedding lol 😂

I got married in 2016, at the time I was aggressively stacking sats and trying to be as frugal as possible.

So I convinced my fiancée to have the wedding in our backyard to save money.

Total cost was under $5,000 which included the dress and her ring (seriously). So how did I pull that off when weddings in America routinely cost 30-50k?

Here’s how


1. Ring: Her ring is fake. More specifically it’s a moissanite which is a lab grown gemstone that looks like a diamond but isn’t a diamond. My wife was on board with this because it allowed her to get a much bigger stone than she otherwise would have and no one can tell the difference. Total cost: $1,200

2. Dress: When it came time to pick out the dress I didn’t want to interfere, so I just let her mom and sister go pick one out with her. She didn’t have a budget, but she was fully bought into my crazy money saving plan and found a dress she loved that only cost $500. That’s how you know you’re marrying the right girl. Total cost: $500

3. Venue: Free obviously because we did it in our backyard, but I did spend a little buying gifts for the neighbors because we were going to be making a lot of noise. Total cost: $200

4. Tables & chairs: We rented these, something to understand when it comes to rentals. When I called vendors for this wedding I didn’t tell any of them it was a wedding. I used the word “event” on the phone. This makes everything 30% cheaper. Total cost: $600

5. Decorations: we bought a nice metal arch to get married under for $300 and then we spent an additional $500 on lanterns, tablecloths, candles, fake flowers etc
 I put them all up myself. Total cost: $800

6. Drinks: Instead of having a fancy bar with a bartender or whatever I went to Costco bought a bunch of wine and beer, threw it in a cooler and called it a day. Total cost: $500

7. Music: at this point in the thread you really think I’m hiring a fancy DJ for this shit? lol no we had a Bluetooth speaker. Total cost: $200

8. Food: instead of doing some BS catering company we got a taco cart guy. Taco cart guy is the shit, you should really have one of these at every event. Everyone loved this dude and said they were some of the best tacos they’ve ever had. Total cost: $500

9. Photo/video: Even though I was running a production company at this time we decided to skip the video altogether. Why? Because nobody ever watches it. Plus my business partner and crew members were going to be attending the wedding. The only thing you want is that one photo of you walking down the aisle that you’re going to hang in the house. So I hired a good photographer I knew in town to show up for 20 mins and take a few shots of the ceremony. Total cost: $400

Bringing the grand total for the backyard wedding to $4,900

The wedding was so out of the norm by modern standards, that my new father in law pulled me aside and suggested I was being too frugal and needed to loosen up a bit. I smiled and nodded politely and then continued right along my path. My wife was on board, I was on board. We had a vision for our future. No one was going to stop me, no matter how “well intentioned” A vision I’m happy to report we are living today.

You want different results than others? You gotta do different shit than they do. Be weird. People will judge you for it, but it won’t matter, because in the end you’ll win.

Today we look back fondly on our cheap wedding. 10/10 would recommend.

We did it for under five as well. And Canadian dollars to boot. In 2021.

It's worth researching and understand tacit agreements. That's how these scum are getting away with so much of this lawlessness.

My entire life I've searched for truth. Interesting that up until 5 years ago I had never read or considered the bible. Why do we all have so much resistance to reading and contemplating scripture? I think it's largely due to our programming. To be honest, it's what i was searching for my entire life. Just had to get my pride out of the way, humble myself, and dedicate some time to it. Most fruitful endeavor I have ever undertaken. Highly recommended.
