Stopped paying for coworking spaces after figuring out this library hack in Lisbon

I was burning through about 200 euros a month on memberships just for reliable wifi and a quiet desk. Then I found the Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal - it's free, has strong internet, and is dead silent until 7 PM. I just bring my own portable hotspot as a backup and post up there 3 days a week now. Anyone else found a solid public spot that saved them a ton of cash?

That line about burning through 200 euros a month really hit me. I used to believe you had to pay for a professional space to get any real work done. Finding a good public library totally changed my mind. The quiet is better than any coffee shop, and the money saved adds up so fast. It feels like a secret weapon now.

Totally, and that saved cash becomes your own creative fund.
