So, today is Frugal Friday! There's so much to talk about concerning
living happily within ones means that I'm going to use Fridays to focus on the
topic (besides, the title is catchy!)
Living frugally isn't about deprivation. It's about making the most of
the resources you have. It's about spending wisely. It's about
creativity. It's about choices. It's all about
attitude.
I know a young woman who is amazing! By many standards, she and her
husband live on a modest salary yet because they are both very thrifty and
careful with their spending, they were able to buy a nice home, drive newer
cars which are paid for, are able to take an occasional trip, have no debt and
even have money in a savings account. They are my heroes!
Another young woman I know has more than twice the money available to work
with and is struggling in debt. She and her husband both work to support
their more lavish lifestyle but neither seem very happy. They are
constantly worrying about money and complaining about how hard it is to make
ends meet. Choices, my friend, choices...
In today's economy, it's more important than ever that we take control of
our money and our situation and make them work for us. Some things we
have no control over but many things we do and the number one thing we have
control over is our own attitude. We'll start with that!
