# Don't Raise Your Standard Of Living This is basically what Hiroyuki (the founder of 2ch and the curren t owner of 4chan) has been saying, and I totally agree with him. How much you can save money, and the minimum income you need for y our survival largely depend on your standard of living. But loweri ng the standard is often extremely hard, while raising is so easy. For example, if you start to use a $300 earphone, you cannot satis fy with a $50 earphone anymore. Therefore it is extremely importan t not to raise the standard from the start. Don't raise your standard, just because you entered a college, a c ompany, &c. It will go full yandere and constrain you from being f ree.
