The point of /r/frugal is being able to afford such things.

Think about it - take someone who makes 30k+/year:

W/o frugality: buys lots of movies, games, tons of unnecessary driving, hitting the bar/titty bar/lots of drinking every weekend, buys junk food that's more expensive etc... "I can't afford a vacation".

W/frugality: buys used books, stays home more often than not, reuses things reasonably, cooks all his/her meals cheaply, etc... Can afford a vacation to fucking SPACE after a few years of saving.

Being frugal makes you look like a tight ass, but it allows you to afford things that you otherwise would not - including a trip to the final frontier in a decrepit cold war air craft. I for one would take such an opportunity by the balls.

Edit: this is not a plug for that sunreddit, I just agree with their base ideas.

And would call it... "Taco Inverso". And it would make them 60 million by midnight.

If that was your life goal, I word definitely call that affordable. 20k + ~3~k to get to Russia, basically something like 25k for a one week vacation, the middle of which has you leaving earth. That's insanely cheap imo.

Would be funny if he was driving 100 mph, and the panorama mode on the cam smeared everything into a "scream" painting.

One that gives your taste buds extreme pleasure, and destroys the nearest toilet.
