Choose The Frugal Tips That Fit Your Lifestyle |
|
|
I think some people get discouraged with frugal living because they don't realize that not all tips are right for them. Frugal for a stay-at-home mother of four will be different than frugal for a childless career woman, for example. You have to sift and choose what works best with your lifestyle and circumstances.

RE: Choose The Frugal Tips That Fit Your Lifestyle
Amen! I, for one, refuse to be guilted into cutting up my own vegetables. I know I'm paying a huge premium for the precut veggies, but I work and study long and hard, and if I didn't buy precut, I wouldn't eat vegetables. And as for my housecleaning service, I'm doing my part to provide jobs -- and taking care of my own sanity as well!

In reference to my self I use stingy. While I would never say that to another person I am comfortable calling myself stingy and make no apology for being that way. Like the gal who wrote Tightwad Gazette... she is a tightwad and very proud of it. Terminology isn't all that important it's the lifestyle that counts.

I couldn't agree more. The word itself isn't all that appealing and most people don't understand why you wouldn't buy something even if you can afford it. Frugality or thriftiness is a lifestyle not a specific action.

I agree.I also think some get turned off by the word"frugal",it's like"the old days".Maybe time to call it plain old being"thrifty".The dictionary has the same meaning for both words...
The bottom line is"saving"where ever we can.
