Don't drink. Teach private lessons. You'll save up nicely.

Buy the largest bottle of generic liquid soap possible.

Use it as body soap, hand soap, shampoo, toothpaste, dishwashing soap and so forth.

64. Don't get married or get a girlfriend.

65. Always remember, jerking off is free.

66. Reuse condoms.

67. 2 people can push through the subway turnstyle together. When you travel with a friend, you can travel 50% cheaper. Alternate paying.

68. Take those free newspapers from the subway stations in the morning. They double up as shit paper or paper to burn for heat in your apartment.

69. Buy instant food and take it to the local GS25 to heat it up in their microwaves.

70. Work for a school that gives lunch to the teachers (an actual serious one)

71. Volunteer to ride the bus with the kids in the morning. As long as they agree to pick you up at your home.

72. Collect cigarette butts off the ground. Most of them are only half smoked anyways. Combine the leftover tobacco and make new cigarettes.

73. If your keyboard is broken, sneak it into a PC room and change it for one of their keyboards.

74. Take your neighbour's garbage and dump it out on the street, and use their garbage bag.

75. Coordinate your shitting and showering schedules together to save toilet paper.

If it applies, don't get a girlfriend. If it applies, get a boyfriend.

Either way, don't have kids.

Remember, nothing will be done about foreigner-on-foreigner crimes. So ahead and rob and plunder from your co-workers and (foreign) neighbors. Don't believe me, just ask the kids up in Suyu.

[DRAMA OVERKILL]

Continue to be a cheapskate, as the majority of foreigners here already seem to be.

76. feast on finger and toe nails and mucus. Komerican told me they are more nutritious then Korean food because of their low gi rating, so it must be true.
77. steal the toilet paper from your school. while you are at it, any required detergent, cloths, hand soap, rubber gloves, towels, imitation flowers, basically anything you can get your hands on.
78. while you are at it, the stationary as well.
79. dont shave, bath or wash your clothes. you will save a ton of money and its good for the environment. put the smell dont to 'cultural differences' much like an apologist might do.

77 continued... the tooth brushes, toothpaste and the little cup that they hold the toothbrush and toothpaste in.

80. steal as much equipment in the school as possible. Then the next day, have a yard sale but do it bidding style so that you maximise profits. Maybe give discounts to school employees (at your discretion of course).

81. Constantly walk into fast food joints and ask for condiments. Suck the contents out of the little packages. Dietary vegetable requirements satisfied.

82. Cut your own hair with the school scissors

83. Panhandle for change while waiting for the subway train to arrive (after you jumped the turnstile to get to the platform)

84. Rob mom's'pop stores. It's really easy to overpower such old people, and the money is usually just in a drawer.

[Harpeau]

If you're teaching a pri vate, simply give a man won discount if they come to your house. The less commuting, the better.

[Rapacious Mr. Batstove]

86. Save money on taxis by simply running from them. Make sure you ask them to drop you off AWAY from where you live though, if there is more than one of you, scatter - it makes it harder for them to mow you down.

87. Refuse to pay hookers. There's no prostitution in Korea anyway so it's not like they'll call the cops. In fact - rob them as well, make sure you get the cellphone, it's usually always an expensive one.

88. Steal stuff. Ajumma tents are an endless source of cutlery, pots and pans and frozen odang.
