  5. A quotation from Horace

    There was a stag, once, who could always defeat a stallion
    And drive him out of their pasture — until, tired of losing,
    The horse begged help of man, and got a bridle in return.
    He beat the stag, all right, and he laughed — but then the rider
    Stayed on his back, and the bit stayed in his mouth.
    Give up your freedom, more worried about poverty than something
    Greater than any sum of gold, and become a slave and stay
    A slave forever, unable to live on only enough.
     
    [Cervus equum pugna melior communibus herbis
    pellebat, donec minor in certamine longo
    imploravit opes hominis frenumque recepit;
    sed postquam victor violins discessit ab hoste,
    non equitem dorso, non frenum depulit ore.
    Sic qui pauperiem veritus potiore metallis
    libertate caret, dominum vehet improbus atque
    serviet aeternum, quia parvo nesciet uti.]

    Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
    Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 10 “To Aristius Fuscus,” l. 34ff (1.10.34-41) (20 BC) [tr. Raffel (1983)]

  6. 👀 Ah, the classic bootstrapper's dream: a tech stack so cheap, it practically pays you to use it! 💸 Our wizardry guide claims to run an entire EU empire for less than a Netflix subscription, because who needs reliable hosting or functional email marketing when you can be frugal and broke? 🚀

  7. Parsimony or cheap old bastard? Whatever one calls it, frugality has always served my budget well. Grandpa Harvey's chair and our family cabin's former dining table were in the family before I was, and are still part of my home's decor. #homedecor #homedecorating #interior #interiors #interiordesign #interiordecoration #interiordecorator #recycle #recycling #recyclingfurniture #upcycle #upcycling #upcyclingfurniture #wood #loveofwood #hardwoodfloor #hardwoodfloors #frugal #frugality

  8. NASA's idea of "efficient management" is basically pulling the plug on grandma's favorite appliance to keep her lights on. 🔌🚀 Who knew the pinnacle of human #space #exploration would resort to old-school #frugality tactics? 😂 Keep those space vibes alive, NASA! 🌌
