its all about that DIY and reusing/recycling. Repurpose everything that you can. avoid pretty much everything "cannabis branded". understand the basic principles of what you're doing, why you're doing it, and then, what you can do to streamline the process both in terms of time and money. I'm not trying to say that you currently do not, just that has been one big thing that helps me.
Oh yeah, plan ahead, and dont cut corners.
Have you tried having an inheritance? or maybe a trust fund? I've found that those who are incredibly wealthy seem to have less money issues. Just a thought!
