"Sometimes she participates in clinical trials and product testing to get items - including five years' worth of free birth control."
Why would she need birth control ??
think about it if your on birth control you get your period maybe 3 times a year thats a lot of money you just saved from not having to but pads and tampons
Respect! for her self reliance life style. she doesn't harm anyone. she made herself rags to riches by her own, not like most people complains about the society or living on welfare system with other ppls tax dollars.
I feel sorry for Kate, If she likes to live that way...it is her privilege, but
forget about a social life, and yes---she is going to be fired!!!!!!
Fired...for what? i never seen anything she did or does that would lead to being terminated.I really hope people will wake up and enjoy ones freedom to live his or her own life.What is wrong with saving money.Some people veiw some things as extreme and i could label even people like you as extreme.america is spoiled and needs to wake up and im really sad that if the life alot of people are used to comes to an end,many will not make it but maybe its for the best..i will miss you brother.
She's helping save the environment and everyone on earth in her own way by not feeding the greedy and destructive consumer culture that pervades our society. Better than what most of us achieve. Respect to Kate for her choices and actions, as unconventional as they may be. She is braver than I am.
Kate..honestly there is no excuse for your lifestyle. It is abhorrent. You must be one lonely girl as no one could ever live with you. Even your friends left early. If you want to east dumpster food go for it, but don't have the nerve to expect your friends to indulge in your very strange habits. If you want to get food poisoning that is your choice..don't make other people sick with your bizarre lifestyle.
its people like you that need a wake up brother.this is america or a shell of what used to be america.everyone could take some lessons on saving money but as the show is titled extreme and you should watch again how she picks her food.restraunts and stores are regulated to throw out food after so many days but that does not mean it is spoiled.I would say that you should stick to store bought items or dining out and hope the stores stay full of food but i know Kate might survive and others like you will be starving if the day comes you cant swipe a card and buy food delivered to the store..lol.
I just brought some chocolates/candy and juice to a small house party last night. They were expired by 2 months at least. No one knew, and they loved me for bringing these treats (that I ate as well). All the food and drink were gone by 2h after me arriving, while the other stuff people brought (bought at stores) were hardly touched.
Sure, I haven't worked up to "fresh" unpackaged items, but baby steps.
I'd hardly call those people she invited into her home her friends. They were rude and condescending. The guy *knew* what he was getting into. Just went on the show to make fun. Typical cam [***].
If I were Kate, I would have at least put on some nicer clothes and tidied up a bit. Nothing says cringe than going to a friends house and see socks drying on top of a microwave, and clothes strewn all over the place.
Food poisoning from what exactly? From day of expiry thrown out food? From processed/prepackaged food? Oh puleeese. She seems in more shape than most Americans I've seen. She exercises on a daily basis and eats healthy (fruits, veggies).
I absolutely LOVE Kate. She is my girl! She has this down to a science. Do not underestimate her.
I think that although saing money in different ways can seem to extreme,i believe that is the number one problem in america today of people spending to much and society today in general is spoiled including the government.I like kates attitude and people can learn from her.I would look her up if i was in NY.
she has a mental disease---Im sure of that..u can be cheap..but she went to farrrr
You know, this made me think, if she paid off that condo in 9 months. That mean she was making payments of at least 22K dollars a month. Not including interests. This lady is making at least 300K a year as a licensed CPA, however, http://www.indeed.com/salary/q...
Average is around 100K a year.... something is very off here which makes think that this show is full of BS. She puts down 4000K into her savings account MONTHLY. Something is not right here
Good point, but they did not say what her down-payment was. If she put down $150,000 on the apartment then she could easily pay it off in 9 months.
Except for the dumpster food, I think that she is a cool chick.
Is she married?
She is very cute!
You should be very proud of yourself Kate. You have your own flat in New York, all paid off. I wish I could be this structered.. you are so smart and beautiful.
At first I wasn't sure what to think,.. but I started to understand why and now I really respect. Her fear of not having and had have lost made this pretty young lady become self reliant. The fact that she survives in one of the most expensive city makes her an incredible CPA. Yes not every method works for safety reasons but in looking at it in all, a penny save is a penny earned.She doesn't rely on any government help, she refuse's to become a burden on tax's payers, I have a lot of respect for her. I'm sure that she has sacrificed a lot in her life, but I can tell you that this lady is a gem. She would be a great true friend. If I ever get a chance to go out with her , of course my treat, I know that we would have fun. Why you might ask,,,because she doesn't hide anything. That's an honest person, I truly like that in a person and in a CPA.
Watching her episode now. Pretty sure she doesn't need that free 5 years worth of birth control...
kate..I want a date..I think you are cute and quirky..like me!
I don't see why everyone is applauding her when she is preying on sympathy from others to get out of paying a fair price for goods. I rented a room out of an older lady's house a few summers ago and she would go to the Farmers market in old clothes and strategically places random crumpled dollar bills and coins throughout her wardrobe and puts on an act trying to put together money to buy corn or whatever she needs in the hopes that the kind farmers will take less out of sympathy. This [***] makes me sick because its outright manipulation for personal gain. Not to mention you are losing all dignity doing this.
Of course if your really down on luck, you do what you gotta do. But people who do this just because they are cheap should not get praise for it.
Cool that she wants to save and all. But eating food out of the dumpster is just asking to get food poisoning. If you've ever worked in the food industry, you understand food temperature safety zones. You never know what may be on the food in those dumpsters. Someone could have puke or peed in there and you'd never really know. Gross.
I honestly can't wait until the day when she gets a severe foodborne illness from doing what she does. Hopefully, it'll teach her.
I can understand wanting to save the environment but dumpster diving for food that's not at all sanitary and not allowing yourself AC in New York City heat (on days that are 90 and above) can have a real adverse effect on your health.
