As someone who's a wealthy heir (though not nearly as wealthy as OP), I can say that my standards of frugal are pretty strange. I only spend on things I really want. If I don't want something, I'll scrimp and save every penny. I avoid going to the movies, driving places when possible. Just this morning I spent about ten minutes trying to find the cheapest Kindle charger (a matter of a dollar or two) that almost definitely actually works. I pay more than $10 for a meal maybe once a month.

However, if I want a new hard drive, I'll get a new hard drive, because that's the kind of thing that really impacts my life for its money's worth. I'm not frugal when it comes to things I really enjoy.

I call this strange because I actually end up spending more time picking out the little things that don't affect me much than the big things that I really care about, just because I'll spend a lot of time deciding whether I really need the little thing that doesn't affect me as much.

I am presently crying.

I have spent many hours (yes. Hours. Many.) listening to all of my friends and reading guides online.

Straight up, I swear to God, some people just can't do them, and I'm one of them. I don't know why it is. I think it's more neurological than ocular. Every few months I'll sit there and try to do it for another hour, and I just give up. I can't imagine it's worth it. It's just one of those struggles that will have to remain elusive to me.

It's really kind of depressing though.

As someone who wants to study abroad in either Israel or Ireland, this AMA stands out to me. Where do you think I should study abroad?

I've been considering joining the Israeli army after college as well. What are your thoughts on this?

I think this is true of learning any language/library. I hate how programming is taught in college these days.
