That's smoking tier
I actually do leave spiders around for that reason. I live in a shed, too, so while that means there's a ton of spiders it also means that if I killed them all I'd have a billion bugs everywhere.

>spiders make cheaper pets than dogs or cats.
Also, if you get sick of spiders as pets, you can just stomp on them and kill them.
Haha. But having a lot of spiders running around the house is creepy. Look up the statistic of the number of spiders inadvertently eaten by a typical person while he is asleep.

Im still in the process of accumulation, (ie: i cant live off my investment returns yet).. a few more years of scrub lifestyle and i''ll be all set

quick way to do this is to ask girls to go out shopping with you at a mall, try on clothes to see what they like, avoid buying them, then find cheaper options at a used clothing store or bazaar

This isnt a fucking game, kid, this is my life. Live on the Alaskan tundra for a year and we'll see how your habits change when you come out the other side. You wake up and spit your morning loogie down the sink. I swallow it for sustenance. You're the kind who throws away bad milk. I make sour cream. You tie your shoes before you leave the house. I use one long lace between them both to save $ on shoelaces, faggot. I shit in a diaper for a year cause I couldnt afford to flush. Ever heard of a lambskin condom? I fuck lambs with a condom.. cause women are just to pricey. I have a mustache, cause it gets me free hotdogs. You're up a paddle without a creek, richboy. Ill only tell you once: I keep my promises kid, cause I cant afford to lie.

Do you honestly think that statistic could be measured in any way? Do you honestly think researchers set up a video camera over 1000 people for 10 years and counted the spiders ingested?
At best you could watch an empty bed and count how many times a spider walked across it, then extrapolate that it goes on 1% of the bed for x amount of seconds then take the probability that that section is the mouth and then multiply it out for time, but even then it makes no sense as a statistic.
Things that require you to go way out of your way to save a few cents don't save you money unless your time is literally worth zero dollars per hour.
The time you spent managing your rain water into the toilet operation could have been spent at a job, earning more money than you would have saved.
Any job.

Research ways to get depression and then only eat once a day. Shouldn't be done if you have fatties in your family, then you might end up eating more instead.
You will see additional savings from not wanting candy as often because your mouth will have a sweet taste from the body burning fat and expelling acetone through your mouth.

Stop eating to save money on food.
Stop breathing to save calories.
Drive double the speed limit to work and get there twice as fast.
Sleep upstairs and park your car outside. Then use a zip line to get to your car faster.
