We've seen people do some crazy things to try and save money. We get it. 

Saving is definitely something we encourage. Besides it being a good habit, it is also a requirement in this day and age. 

This is why we were super impressed by this boyfriend's dedication to saving money. 

His dedication to saving money was so strong that he learnt how to do his girlfriend's nails.

Yes, he learnt how to do gel x manicures so that he and his girlfriend could save on the money she would use to get a manicure. 

And we have to admit after watching one of his videos, we think he has some great potential as a nail technician.
