One of my top recommendations for improving your life, is making sure you can shit well, and clean that shit off well. If you've got poo problems you're not gonna be a happy person. So for the first #LifeHackThatCostsMoney, both for the sake of your hygiene and saving money on toilet paper, get a bidet.

Think this thing is weird? It sort of is, but its healthy as fuck, and will help you shit like a motherfucker. Now, don't get me wrong, I hate having white plastic anywhere in my house, I wish I could get everything made out of stainless steel, obsidian or slate, but the utility of these things really makes up for being unsightly - because being healthy makes you less unsightly anyway.
#3 VOIP
#3 VOIP hardware, such as Ooma or a Google Voice VOIP Box
Ooma
Price: $100

or
OBi200 VoIP Phone Adapter, T.38 Fax
Price: $50
Link: http://amzn.com/B00BUV7C9A
Before children start yelling at me about how they all have phones untethered to primitive phone line or some fuckin shit like that, calm down and let me explain. VOIP is where it's at, plug the fucking hardware into the fucking internets via a fucking ethernet cable to make and receive fucking free phone fucking calls - it's irresponsible to have your only means of communication being email or a mobile phone. Utilizing this VOIP hardware you can receive and make calls free for eternity until Galactus destroys earth. Set up your google voice or your Ooma at your home, or home office, or whatever, the only cost to you is the hardware itself and you get to do free calls with no subscriptions. No primitive phone line shit, no stupid paying for shit, just buy the hardware, plug in a fancy lookin phone thing, and you're good to go. It's pretty awesome to come home to a box thing you can simply press a button to listen to your voicemails while you check your fridge for some food or whatever.
#4 Free Talk/Text/Data Service on mobile phone
#4 Free Service on your mobile phone
Freedompop
Price: $100
Link: http://www.freedompop.com
Be careful with this one, if you talk or text or surf a lot, you're probably better off just doing whatever expensive monthly plan shit you're already doing. But I like to save money, I don't have a lot of friends, and I like to cut corners. You can't exceed your minutes/texts/data limit or else you'll be charged some small amount, otherwise it's 100% free. I have been utilizing these douchebags for 2 years.
*Warning, Freedompop is pretty fuckin douchey, please use a prepaid debit card to buy your phone/service from freedompop, because there's pretty much a guarantee they will try to charge you for SOMETHING even if you don't exceed the talk, text or data limits. As long as you're willing to live within the talk/text/data limitations all is well and free.
#5 The Workout Phone that can't be stolen
#5 Samsung Galaxy Gear S - a watch phone
Price: ~$90-$229 (depends where you buy it)
This is part smartwatch, part phone, and it's perfect for going for a workout. You can activate this as a phone independently without any other smartphone to connect it to, but you'll need a galaxy device to activate it from the get-go, you can either utilize someone else's galaxy device, or simply go to an AT&T store and have them activate it using a galaxy device. Using some other galaxy device, I use a Galaxy Tab 4, you can put music on it. When I go for a workout I bring a bluetooth headset and wear this watch and I'm good to go, no need to worry about shit getting stolen or whatever.
There's no way you can lose it or break it, you can still accept calls and it's waterproof.
#6 Internet only, ditch the rest
#6 Get only internet service, you need nothing else
Price: ~$50-$300/mo
Seriously, get rid of your xfinity triforce tv phone directv packages bullshit, holy fuck its so primitive! Join modernity and stop all subscriptions to anything but the internet, you need nothing more, internet is life, internet is love, we're all connected, stardust etc.
Get your VOIP, get your free cell service, and most importantly, pirate all the shit you want to watch. "Whoa! you're asking me to pirate hurr durr?"...Yes...You don't need "TV" or whatever its called these days, sure, go buy yourself a massive 65" HDTV, then hook it up to a computer or a cheap media center and start your downloads!
Most shows will be uploaded within an hour after airing, so you can get your Game of Thrones fix for merely the cost of internet, and sometimes get a great bonus like last season when the first several GoT episodes were leaked before airing!
I use Deluge, kat.cr (kickass torrents) and media player classic
Netflix is also great.
#7 Improve quality of sleep with a hammock
#7 Get a Hammock
Hammock
Price: $64

Indoor Hammock Hanging Kit
Price: $25
Link: http://amzn.com/B00DVE2AW8
Few things can improve the quality of your sleep like sleeping in a hammock, if you're fortunate enough to be able to install one in your home, it not only saves space in the house but it will impact your life immensely.
Just google why it's better, it's healthy as fuck, trust me http://lmgtfy.com/?q=health+benefits+of+sleeping+in+a+hammock
#8 Hovding - Airbag for Cyclists
#8 Hovding - The airbag for cyclists
Price: ~$330
Link: http://www.hovding.com/
This is the coolest thing I have bought since the Emotiv Insight EEG, and now when I ride my bicycle I don't have to look super gay with a helmet or get helmet hair (I don't mean gay as in homo, I mean gay as in stupid). The only problem is it took me 40 days before I got mine, and you'll likely have to use a forwarding service like I did if you live in the USA - because they don't ship directly to the USA.
#9 Cyberith Virtualizer - getting not fat as a gamer has never been easier and more expensive
#9 Cyberith Virtualizer or the Virtuix Omni
Price: Cyberith Virtualizer - $800
Price: Virtuix Omni - $700
Links:
http://cyberith.com
http://www.virtuix.com/
The Virtualizer is truly remarkable because it actually looks cool, and one of the things I am greatly concerned about is whether or not something is unsightly.
The Virtuix Omni appears to offer the same functionality, but it looks like a plastic toy to me
Now of course you had best pair this with a good VR headset, and while I've pre-ordered the HTC Vive and the Cyberith Virtualizer, you'll get roughly the same experience with the Oculus and the Virtuix Omni
HTC Vive: $830
Oculus Rift: $600

I just want a hammock
z0de
Pays 800 for vr toy, won't pay for Netflix.

Bidet is an investment I can get on top of
Lunchbox151
research what a "life hack" is. hint: none of these are one
IThinkImGettingTheBlacklungPop
Pirating is short term gain, long term loss. If everybody "stopped paying for content" there'd be fucking adds everywhere.
MarkItEightDude
Ok, but can we stop calling them "Life Hacks" though?
outlawz
Why is the first gif mirrored?

"awesome to come home to a box thing you can simply press a button to listen to your voicemails" hmmm, pretty sure I had this 30 years ago.

+1 for "until Galactus destroy earth"
CorndogsJackie
After the first two i thought this post was going to be a full on dump on dumps. Slightly disappointed if I'm going to be honest
WhatdoyoucallanImgurianwhodoesntlikecats
Don't pirate stuff. Redbox and Netflix are cheap. Support the people who work long hours for shit pay working on those shows and movies.
SweetGeekling
This! Content creators deserve to be paid for the content they create! Support the people who make shit you love!
cheesywonton
But then they couldn't sound super cool by calling them self's hackers
Brad2217
#6 not so great if you like sports
neech
Just download KODI and stream all the sports live.
phallicbabymobile
Omni looks better than the cyberlith. Your movement with the cyberlith is more restricted.

maniacalmacaroni
Contrary to your argument @OP, watches can indeed be stolen, lost, and/or broken.
VulcanSithLord
Op, Galactus cannot destroy earth because Reed Richards saved his life. And Galactus promised that he would never consume our planet.
frowardd
if you want a squatty potty made of stainless, teak, or other steel/wood, DM me. no obsidian tho.
KirsiKitten
Freedompop is literally the worst service Ive used in my life, endless phone problems for two years that support couldnt help with ever.

Try having sex in a hammock
IHaveUnusualPets
Ha jokes on you, I'd never find out! Wait-
philoseraptor
I just kept my bed too, not that this would have been an issue so far lol
TwoBallsOnePenis
I think I heard some light sobbing in those lols. You ok buddy?
philoseraptor
Haha, yeah. I may be single but I have two hands so I manage just fine. Thanks for asking though - you are a gentleman and a scholar
snowman520182
I really would like to try a bidet. I'm in favor of anything that makes my bunghole cleaner.
raptorclawhandshake
Can pay a homeless man in hot dogs to eat you out.
LemonFanta
In Thailand they have butt hoses. It's like the kitchen sink sprayer, but hooked up to the wall / water line so you can psshh off your butt.
causality
I don't understand how a bidet doesn't splatter shit all over your butt cheeks and/or thighs.
sp4cepope
try Aloe vesta. it's a cleanser they use in hospital, comes in a spray bottle. You can use it to wet down your tp for a fresher wipe
chipotleismylife
if that doesn't work out I recommend baby wipes
sp4cepope
aloe vesta is a good replacement for wipes. just spray the tp
Ravenuser
Is it hard to find in your country? I can tell I couldn't live without it.
chipotleismylife
not sure where the original commenter is from, but I never see them in the US
GothmogLordofBalrogs
9 life hacks that cost money. proceeds to talk about pirating and shit.
OracleForCheap
Wow, phone service and Internet seems expensive in the US. My cell service is roughly 3 usd monthly, and I get more than I can spend.
poronkusemania
It is. I pay 78/month for Internet and 80/month for phone service. It sucks but that's all I have in my area.
dingofdong
Service monopolies... service monopolies everywhere
poronkusemania
Exactly - I searched a lot high and low for another option for internet aside from comcast yet that's what I'm stuck with. sigh...
dingofdong
The internet may not be great here in the UK, but I'm so glad that it's not as bad as the US. I pay £37.50 (~$50 - $60)/m internet (1/2)
dingofdong
for 152Mbps download bandwidth. In reality it depends on time of day, but it's usually fairly close to the promised maximum.
DoctorFatty
"I don't have to look super gay with a helmet" - What are you, 12?
cheesywonton
No... He's not super gay..
IWouldLickThat
I would cycle if not for new mandatory bicycle helmet laws. I'm over 40. And yes, they are SUPER gay.
Zombraina
I guess potential brain trauma isn't gay at all? Lol
IWouldLickThat
I've made my choice.
Zombraina
Pretty sure the helmet laws are only for the benefit of insurance companies, which is the only reason it's enforced.Same with with seatbelts
IWouldLickThat
Interesting that here, if you have a classic car from before seatbelts, you don't need to wear one.
Vectorman2
'Pirate all the shit you want to watch!' Ya see there is a little thing called 'sports'...
Justtoupdoot
Only reason I still have DISH. I work for the NBA and gotta get the games.
Yetiphobia
Also something called "ethics" but what was that about sports?
Vectorman2
Well you cant really 'pirate' sports all too easily and downloading the game after it already happened kinda defeats the purpose
fatbottomgirlsmaketheworldgoround
why do you need a home phone? and why is it irresponsible to just have a cell?
FatForYou
A Landline is reliable and you can't turn it on silent. I've lived in my house 22 years. I've had two different cell numbers. 1 home #
fatbottomgirlsmaketheworldgoround
u can turn off the ringer on a landline and i've had the same cell for 18 years.. still dont see how its irresponsible
FatForYou
I just gave you an answer. I don't give a shit what you do. There's just benefits to having a land line. They do exist. Do fuck w/e u want
VAGlNA
People get their cellphones stolen, lost or broken, don't they?
fatbottomgirlsmaketheworldgoround
sure, and adults have backup plans and other means of communication.. how long would you last without your cell phone?
RBBaker
Seen on the wall of a restroom at UCSD in 1976: Q. Why are turds tapered at the end? A. So your asshole doesn't slap shut.
Dooood
I heard it as "slam shut:. I think I like my version better, but YMMV.
RBBaker
What does it say if your ass slams shut versus slapping shut? A. It's been modded and you're a cyborg or B. Your sphincter is spring-loaded.
Dooood
...or C. I'm blessed/cursed with an extraordinary sphincter.
RBBaker
All hail the extraordinary sphincter! Or in other words, Vote for Trump!
Dooood
Don't you insult my butthole!
Camplmgur
Airbag for bicycling, holy shit
SuperDork42
Amazing how much safer it is than a helmet. It seems counter-intuitive but helmet users tend to take more chances. Best of both worlds!
kiDDarknessssS
They now make motorcycle gear (jacket/pants) with built in airbags as well as the usual armored pieces. Super expensive tho.
DrWuTangClanSr
A helmet works good too.
SuperDork42
It's a lot safer than a helmet. Helmet users tend to take more stupid chances, this protects you while making you safer.
DrWuTangClanSr
It looks like you would not be able to wear a helmet while using this. I'm not sure if this would be able to withstand the same impact.
SuperDork42
The point of it is that not wearing a full helmet makes you a safer rider and for the times when someone fails in that you're good. (1)
SuperDork42
Wearing a helmet would defeat the purpose of this. And it's been tested a lot, it's very good protection. Even better than a helmet that (2)
RatoMolhado
+1 bc of bidet. I'm from Argentina and every time I go to some foreign countries I wonder why the hell do they hate their arses that much.
SubzeroAK
Baby wipes, they tend to have smaller hands that can get up in there.
ramarins
Just make sure the wipe is flushable. Not every baby wipe is (the ones called "feminine wipes" are). ;-)
ChefAnxiousCowboy
Che boludo!
Chorizoloco
No jodan, boludos...vivo en Canadá hace diez años y todavía no he visto un bidet.

my fiancee is Egyptian, he thinks it's so weird we don't have them everywhere in the US

In the US, in Europe, everywhere! Preach!

I just shower and scrub my asshole once a day, wiping the rest of the time. I don't have any problems .-.
Lionskull
i have learned to carry wet wipes when i travel. they work almost as well as bidets.
ArcaneM37
Please don't flush them though. So bad for sewage systems.
ScaryFace
Oh hey. Don't forget to not flush them.
Lionskull
FYI I WON"T FLUSH THEM YOU CAN STOP REPLYING THAT, or do i'm a sign not a cop. a sign that you are an idiot.
sp4cepope
get aloe vesta. spray on tp = instant wet wipe and you can flush it!
varsil
But do not flush them, as they destroy sewer systems.
ObtuseDoorFrame
You can buy hemorrhoid witch hazel pads, which are basically the same thing except flushable.
DVSBSTrD
I'd prefer to have it in the shower instead of the toilet.
RatoMolhado
Do you shower after every time you poop?
DVSBSTrD
I'd rather have water splashing against my butt when I don't have to keep reminding myself it wasn't the same water i just pooped in.
