Reddit mentions of LG Electronics PH300 LED Minibeam Projector with Embedded Battery and Built-in Digital TV Tuner

I still live at home, so I do dabble in a bit of this stuff like general cleaning, taking care of the yard, bicycling, but in the future I'd like to have a garden, bees, maybe some chickens or a goat.

If you live in an apartment then instead I would start doing research into something extremely important that everyone who is anyone should know how to do this. That would be personal finance. What can you do right now in order to save money?

Would you:

Cancel the Smartphone? In my opinion, they're just not needed unless you need one for your job. They're expensive ($200-$600?) and then you pay a monthly fee on top of that ($50-$???). A basic phone can work just as well, you can still take pictures, text, call people. I can guarantee you'll find more enjoyment from saving money and by really talking to people.

Cancel the TV? More and more people are becoming /r/cordcutters and ditching the TV. I think TV is ridiculous for the price. Lots of commercials, no real challenge for yourself, lots of reality fake bullshit, advertisements for things that you don't need 99% of the time. Internet has everything we'll ever need. We can watch TV shows on our 'free online' websites, Netflix, Youtube, News, Research, Google Maps, Housing, Crime, Music, Porn, How to do/use/fix something. If you still want the TV viewing experience then I would suggest a projector. I own the LG PH300 and display a 100" picture onto my wall. Check out /r/projectors and http://www.projectorcentral.com/

Take the bicycle to work? Sorry to hear about your last bike, but this is both incredible for exercise and incredible for saving money. If you need a good lock then I'd suggest something like this (german made) and using this locking method. Remember to lock it up to something secure.

Shopping at the thrift store? Just last week, I bought a pair of shorts and a t-shirt, one of those shorts was brand new. Levis Cargo Shorts. I spent around $12 in total. There's lots of good clothes to be had at the thrift store, lots of funny/interesting things (and people) too. Really look around, browse the aisles and don't be afraid to go a different thrift store if you can't find anything.

Stop eating Fast Food? Fast Food is amazing because it's both shit for your body and shit for your wallet. It's filled with preservatives, salt, sugar, lots of fat. That's why it's bad for your body because it's a 'quick fill up' that might taste good (or bad) but is just bad. It's bad for your wallet because it's expensive as shit, especially because some people go every day and because of combos. Many combos are at least $5 (with tax) and for $5 you can go to the grocery store and get something both more filling and something that's better for you. I could get a pack of turkey meat that will probably last me the whole month for $5.

Finally, I would suggest reading a few interesting blogs. If you're interested in personal finance and saving money then please go into them with an open mind. A few of these are just articles and may/may not have been things that I talk about or already do.

Be open-minded! :)

Selling on Amazon for $347.99 with solid reviews.

Seems like a nice projector for someone on a budget looking to spice up their entertainment center.

It was arguably the best deal on the market when I got it for $300 last year. There may be better models on the market now. Throw distance probably is a concern too; mine has a normal projector distance so the screen is often small when using it on the go.

I'm not sure why, but the low lumen levels actually look brighter than my friend's 1200 lumen lcd projector. Both do get washed out easily.
