How I invested in bullion bars and changed my lifestyle completely

A few years ago, I looked back at my life and realised I had been spending too much money. I decided to make an experiment which I called the year of living frugally. I sold all unnecessary things like TV sets, expensive furniture or computer games. I also invested all my money in bullion bars just to be sure I wont waste it on unnecessary things. I decided to learn to survive on my salary only. It turned out to be very difficult, but rewarding. I sold my car and bought a bicycle. I cycled to work every day, no matter whether it was extremely hot or cold and snowy. I also stopped buying cosmetics: I used free samples I got from large shopping centres. I started growing my own fruit and vegetables. I realised how much money could be saved in this way! Whenever a friend of mine or a member of the family had birthday, I didnt buy them presents or invite them to expensive restaurants. I made my own presents! How lucky I am to have some artistic skills. Finally, after twelve months, I decided to sell the gold bullion bars. I got much more money than I had spent on them, but I wasnt really impressed. I got used to my frugal life, and although I dont use cosmetic samples any more, I still live on very little money.
