I remember when I was a blue pill man I was paying for dates and drinks and gifts and holidays. Thankfully I never married otherwise I would need to pay for an expensive diamond ring, a wedding ceremony, and then I'd need to buy a huge house, and then pay for the children. Now that I am MGTOW, I find I am saving a huge amount of money. There is no need anymore to impress women with status symbols, so you save even more money. Being able to save up more money means you become financially independent earlier in life. Money buys you freedom.
