Justin<\/strong> grew up without a lot of money in a small town. His parents divorced when he was eight, and his mother eventually quit her job to attend school. Necessity is the mother of invention, and a year of no income led to some very creative ways to squeeze more value out of every dollar.<\/span><\/p>\n

This “invention” stayed with Justin for his entire life, and he applies it to every facet of his finances. From his very low rent (in a high rent area) to his ridiculously low grocery bills to collecting travel rewards points, Justin gamifies every cent he spends.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today we hear how Justin actually\u00a0made<\/em> money from his college scholarships and military stipends, how he negotiated a smoking deal on his rent, and how his five tenets of grocery shopping pay off.<\/span><\/p>\n

Justin calls this “the lazy path to financial independence,” but really he\u2019s just being incredibly efficient with his resources. <\/span><\/p>\n
