Hi, Many of these things I actually practice and that doesn't indicate me that I live a dead life, infact I live a lavish life in my own style ... In this article actually what you found meaningless I couldn't get.
1. I prefer to stay near my work place I go by walk .. this gives me exercise in another way
2. I never use credit cards. Always prefer to have something when I have money or can lend on easy installments from the shop only... you should be able to convince shopkeeper.
3. As I am near I don't need tiffin I go home to have my lunch.
4. I call only those who are very close weekly. for other I think twice and rather take two days to chat if needed. Internet is best.
5. AC I don't prefer.
6. No pooling car as I stay near my work place
What else he had said wrong, I couldn't get you. Yes movies you have cable in your house or can have a big screen which will be of your full time use for life time
Even my wife loves my life style and she is happy what about you sir... How to keep her happy is upto you
