Dylan Vergara lists the cheap items he used when he had $3,000 to his name in a $600 studio: slip-on Vans, a cracked iPhone, wired headphones, a $15 Amazon mouse, a secondhand couch. He still uses most of them now with a seven-figure net worth, showing his frugal habits never changed.
I vividly remember 2020 sitting in this $600 per month studio apartment, 350 square feet, having $3,000 to my name. And while a lot seems different now, there are some things that are the same. Like, see my shoes here? I'm literally wearing slip-on Vans right now. I'm gonna make a video on the things that I daily back when I had $3K to my name, now 7 figures to my name. Shoes, one. Uh, you can't see it, but my iPhone is cracked to hell and it's kind of old. I use iPhone chargers until they're on their last leg and you have to like prop it up kind of awkwardly. I only buy couches on Facebook Marketplace. Spending money on new furniture that's thousands of dollars, it's a waste. I have the expensive fancy noise-canceling headphones, EarPods, whatever they're called. I still use wired headphones. A little different here, but I used to have a gold secured Discover It card with like a $500 line of credit. Now I use a gold Amex, but I still use a credit card as if it's a debit card, pay it off every single month. Nothing's changed. I still buy annual memberships to save a little bit of money. Still use the same old MacBook keyboard that my fiancée gave me. Don't know where she got it from. And a $15 mouse off Amazon. I still use some wallet that's beat up. I don't know the name of the brand, just like gets the job done. No fancy Goyard or anything. I also— not this one, but I still wear hats with sweat lines on them. And I do wear a lot of the same t-shirts that I used to skate in that have holes in the back from bailing and stuff. That's what comes to mind right now. But yeah, a lot of things are the same.
