According to the recent Daily Mail, Ray (22), an Australian woman who posted a video claiming to have saved over $100,000 (about 140 million won), has been criticized by some netizens ,,,for "living in extreme poverty." According to a TikTok video posted on the 14th of last month, Ray introduced items she doesn't buy to save money, saying, "I live with my parents and have drastically cut expenses, which allowed me to save a considerable amount." She said, "I never spend money on books, food delivery, water bottles, and these three things," adding, "There are free books at the local library. Go to the library," she advised. Regarding delivery food, he said, "I know it's convenient, but I can't pay $30 (44,000 won) for a $7 (10,000 won) Domino's pizza," and he also emphasized, "I don't buy water bottles. The water bottles I've collected all my life fill my cupboard. I think you feel the same way." He continued, "I don't go to the salon, I cut my own hair, and I don't dye it. I do my nails myself," and regarding his phone, "I don't change it until it's completely broken," adding, "You don't need to buy a new phone just to get the new iPhone that comes out every year." Some netizens criticized Ray's appearance, "Use that money to invest in transforming your image," and "It's better to invest in your health and appearance than living frugally." In response, Ray replied, "Do you have any skincare products you would recommend?" and "I have never said I don't care about my appearance." He retorted. While some netizens criticized not paying a significant portion of their expenses for rent or utility bills, ,,, said, "I don't understand why people criticize not paying rent. Ray is making the most of the opportunity," and other positive reactions followed. ,,, if you can save with almost no rent, utilities, or food costs,,, you can save $100,000 quickly!! Even saving just the rent isn't hard to save!! Living with my parents,,, I think I saved that much money,,, is a bit selfish!!!!!!!!
