I'm sure mustachians could still cut thousands.  But the fact that she -thought- she was living at exactly the dollar amount she should be and then was able to cut THOUSANDS each month is a lesson most people need to learn.

$2 shampoo works as well as $52 shampoo.

(You do see that hair dye was a "necessary" expense.)
