That's real-deal good advice, which kinda goes against the spirit of the thread.

I shat at work every morning for three years. Punch in, grab coffee, check email, then take a poo poo. It was my morning ritual.

Then when I switched to working an overnight shift in a field i loved, for a solid week i would wake up after sleeping for an hour and a half to take the world's largest dump at 8:30 AM. Like clockwork. Sleep for barely any time, be forced to drowsily stumble onto the shitter due to my fecal schedule not adjusting.

nothin' wrong with a lady drinkin' alone in her room
When I was a sophomore in college, the toilet in my apartment broke and maintenance was really slow to fix it. That went on for about a week, so just about every night my roommate and I would drive to this lovely 24 hour diner to drink coffee and chain smoke until our bowels started moving. Once we both visited the bathroom, we paid our tab and left. The wait staff always seemed happy to see us, so I guess they never caught on.

Not much fun
If you're poor just steal napkins from everywhere. It seems an incredible waste of time to wash rags. Ugh, unless she's boil washing those rags that's got to be unhygienic.

Another great #lifehack show is Extreme Couponing. The women who do that spend eight hours a day clipping coupons and putting them onto spreadsheets, saving them like 20k a year. If they actually got a full time job they could earn more than that and wouldn't have to piss off a load of grocery store workers. Plus half the poo poo they buy must end up being dumped because there's no way any family will get though 3000 boxes of noodles or whatever nutrition free white trash food they buy.

During my brief stint at Target, one of those fuckers came through my aisle. It took at least half an hour to scan all their poo poo and then all their coupons and they gave me incredible amounts of attitude when I refused half of them. I've never wanted to murder someone so much as I did these people.

BURY ME AS I LIVED, A FREE MAN ON THE CLUTCH

I love that show. My favourite was the wedding episode where the bride's mother got ordained online to carry out the (probably not legal) ceremony. They brought the dress from a pawn shop, complete with vomit stains, and borrowed one of those polystyrene display cakes so they didn't have to buy one.

Life hack - if your family are crazy, elope.

My wife and I were dead broke when we got married (about 16 years ago). We could barely afford the license and the rent for the town hall. We wanted to invite maybe 20 people. My mom went out and invited everyone. About 120 showed up from all across the country. My family chipped in, bought, and cooked the food. My uncles and family friends played an impromptu jam session for music. I made a garland thing out of an old papasan chair. The flowers were wild and picked by the bridesmaids and the kids just before the wedding. My aunt is a wedding cake maker so we got it for free. The wedding had no alcohol, but there were coolers of booze in the parking lot due to not having the $50 for the insurance to cover alcohol inside.

My out of pocket for my wedding was $120. People still tell me it was the best wedding they'd been to. Just 'cause you're poor, doesn't mean you can't rely on other resources to make it fun. A good friend of mine just spent $40,000~ on a wedding. I'd rather take the money and elope. I've never had $40k in liquid currency in my life and they just threw it in the fire.

/TLDR: Some people are gross. Some people are rich. My wedding was nice but drat near free for me. CSB

She's completely wrong about sanitation. The wash cycle is not nearly hot to kill all the bacteria. Also, some of the liquid will get into the chassis during the rinse cycle. The soap will help, as will the dryer, but I bet you that they come out smelly and dangerously unsanitary. Bacteria will die, but not necessarily viruses. If you don't burn your hands, it's not sanitary. They should be boiled to ensure that they are sanitized. I'm not wiping my kids poo poo on my own rear end.

Also, the gas for that show-off fireplace behind her costs way more than her recycled toilet paper.

Same, but mine was a shop where we took a 15min break every 2 hours, so I would go to the bathroom every other hour. When you are sitting there, you might as well poo poo, so for years later I was on this awful every-two-hours poo poo regimen.

I've got nothing against cheap weddings, but I think you had the right idea in the first place by inviting the 20 people you could afford. Maybe it's a cultural thing. I would just find it weird to be invited to a wedding and then be asked to chip in for food or bring booze. Unless it was in lieu of a gift I suppose. I'm glad you had a nice day though.

Some people really like doing that sort of thing, but I live in an area of the US (north carolina) where we have potlucks at work just because people like cooking for them, so it could very well just be cultural.

Escape the lie that you have to have a "wedding" dress and look for something cool that isn't for a "wedding," e.g. an ivory evening gown or a cool sundress or an awesome pantsuit or a clown costume or something I dunno about you snake people these days

Our Vegas wedding ceremony cost something like $500, plus airfare and lodging, and it was lovely and didn't feel cheap. If you're a service member and can prove it it'll probably be even cheaper.

The reception cost $0 because my Dad was going to throw it but he died before we did. I don't recommend that option to save money.

This or do the "everyone will be pissed so marry fast in secret" thing like we did-- $75 for the license, $75 for the judge, and the only people you have to tell beforehand are your two witnesses! Your witnesses can also be your camera people and you can have an awesome dinner and surprise party for the rest of your shocked friends afterward. Walla
