There is one thing for uber wealthy people to act poor but I dont care if a wealthy person finds happiness in a frugal lifestyle. Sharing in cultures is vital to the human experience.
The crazy thing is that i i were filthy rich, the only thing that would change is that i wouldn’t go to work anymore, and i’d probably invest in some sort of farm/weekly market where you can buy actually fresh and cheap veggies and things like that and i wouldn’t have to care if it makes money. So i totally get that aspect of it. But pretending to be a complete hippie and selling that lifestyle while you’re clearly not, just seems weird
Not trying to be a contrarian but a lot of hippies were from rich backgrounds which is why they didn’t have to work to begin with.
See if there are any Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) orgs in your area, I used to go pick up a big box of produce every week at the farm where they grew them, was cool
Farmers markets, there usually held on weekends around here, get fresh fruit and vegetables from local growers.
I don’t think they needed to be educated on what a farmer’s market is.
They are saying they’d stand a new one up
Where I am at least, the veggies can also be double to triple the price of the grocery store.
you missed the point. they aren’t frugal.
they just look frugal.
I think that is not necessarily true, just because they are wealthy does not mean they cannot then enjoy living frugally as a part of their chosen lifestyle.
But an essential part of “living frugally” is…being frugal. Co-opting the “style” of poverty while acting like you’re more spiritually enlightened for it while shelling out a fortune and constantly having a massive amount of money to fall back on while preaching frugality to a bunch of people who don’t have money is…gross.
And if you watch the video, this isn’t just “trustafarians,” but also about the systems hat have been put in place in developing nations to traffic children to attract wealthy foreigners to “voluntourism” in their area and profit off of that exploitation while these wealthy “po-mouthing” kids can’t post about how generous they are and talk about how it changed their life.
That’s just called Burning Man
Is that like your brother or what?
You’ll never live like common people. You’ll never do whatever common people do.

They say you can always spot them by their teeth.
this is the culture of most of my city. lots of people in very expensive clothes, beards, and etc that make them look like semi homeless bums. who work for a tech company and are banking six figures.
I don’t give my money to anyone, usually. Except specifically some nader chasers I’ve
followed for years. They’re out there losing windshields for my enjoyment. That’s it tho.The rich have always imitated the rest of us.
Tattoos used to see you barred from many military and civil service organizations. Now ink is considered cosmopolitan and they’re allowed.
Low-income service workers used to occupy the top floors of residential buildings, and even set up makeshift accomodation on building roofs. They called them penthouses.
Look at the shift in treatment of marijuana in the United States over the last decade.
can I have a source for that second claim? Wikipedia says penthouses were specifically designed to be upscale property as early as 1923
My understanding is prior to the invention of the elevator, the expensive floor was the ground floor.
This guy sucks.
FYI: Trustafarian is a word that has been used for at least 25 years. He thinks its new.
Anyways, I digress. Most trustafarians also suck, but this guy sucks for entirely different reasons.
I’m not familiar with him, why does he suck?
If you listen to the first 3 or 4 minutes of this edgelords rant and don’t get why he sucks… and don’t see any red flags … well, if you’d like to pay me for my time, message me and I can send you my venmo, and upon receipt of $10, I’ll explain it to you.
edit: to all y’all who think I owe y’all my time, you’re as entitled as this custie trustafarian pictured above.
You took the time to write all this why not just stand by the opinion you clearly have?
“all the time”
lol
ALL THE TIME! ALL OF IT!
Dude still sucks, even if y’all think I suck. Doesn’t change that dude sucks.
I didn’t watch the video, don’t know the guy, and may very well agree with you, I just think comments like you’ve left serve little to no purpose when you could just elaborate your point instead. That way people like me can make a more informed decision to potentially not give a shitty person more views or even waste my time on click bait content.
Even if he is an edgelord, it’s still nothing compared to you.
watch out, ya might cut yourself, commenting so near to my comment
Why are you here trolling when you could be spending your daddy’s money?
We used to use the term in the mid 90s to describe the kids hanging out in Berkeley begging for cigarette money, then getting picked up in Mercs to get driven home in the hills. They were usually white kids with dreads.
They were dumbass kids. I’m sure the current batch are dumasses too I was never a fan, but in the scheme of things, there is a lot worse out there.
Tell me you’ve never heard of Meat Canyon without telling me you’ve never heard of Meat Canyon
Yeah kinda weird people watch this tbh. Like who really cares?
like half of the Grateful Dead tour on the late 80s and early 90s
