Frugality is the reduction of waste, changing costly habits, suppressing instant gratification by means of fiscal self-restraint, seeking efficiency, defying expensive social norms, embracing free (as in gratis) options, and using a barter system.
The entries for this week were those that best exemplified the above and my own personal definition; if your entry didn’t make it for this week, please enter for next week. Next weekls host is Financial Reflections.
The Festival is here and I will take you through a few of the A-B-C’s of Frugal Living. A flash card of sorts. (I have to organize them somehow or they look like a mess to me.) Enjoy!
