Put a handful of dry cereal in your mouth, take a swig of milk, swish around and repeat. Now you dont have to dirty a bowl and spoon.

I'm surprised that this thread has yet to degrade in to various Squalor posts, but then in the title it does mention "successful living"..... Buy a roomba or similar to keep your floors clean. Use it at least once a week.

Get a plant, something basically unkillable like a moneytree/monkeypuzzle or a spiderplant. They'll make things seem less bleak and you can put little santa hats on them around the holidays

Pipe burst a year ago and I still haven't laid new flooring or patched hole in wall. Cement floors don't bother me or the dogs so

I live in a one bedroom apartment and one of the key things is to take advantage of that dumpster outside by taking the trash out constantly. Don't just let it sit there because the bag isn't full yet, the place will smell like garbage and you won't even notice.

That's what small plastic shopping bags are great for. Pretty much the only thing I put in my actual kitchen trash are bulky items that won't smell.

Cement floors don't bother me or the dogs so Had a similar situation and the room would reek whenever it got hot and humid, painted the cement with salvaged enamel house paint from the landfill and it stopped being a problem.

If you're expecting a nasty poo poo to happen soon, cover the surface of the water in the bowl with poo poo tickets (thats toilet paper for you civilized folks) and then you won't have to worry about getting poo poo water splashed up on your rear end.

Buy cheap booze and cheap food and just stay drunk enough that you don't care what you eat.

While I disagree with the basically nihilistic sentiment here in theory, I will say that the ability to be genuinely happy with cheap food and drink as its own thing, not necessarily a 1:1 substitute for their more expensive counterparts, is a godsend.

Back when I was in college and really broke, I would buy those, like, 5lb bags of rice and one of beans. Mix in some condiments and it's poor man's food all day.

All you need is a [single] pot, cast iron pan, a bowl, a plate and a knife, fork and spoon. And a glass too if you don't drink exclusively from cans. This cuts down on dishes. You may want to augment with a baking sheet too.

You go to make spaghetti, need some herbs and instead of going to the store you just clip some from the bush by the window. You can also fill your home with chickens, if you throw your food scraps on the floor theyre like little egg laying roombas.

My mate's hippy bird had two chickens in their yard and it was always inches thick with chickenshit. No amount of eggs would be worth cleaning up after that.

There are 2.5 of us, and while we have a collection of dishes we use the same two plates and 3 bowls. We have 1 large pot, 1 small pot, a baking sheet and an electric skillet. It is wonderful. 90% of what we cook is in the skillet.
