What is living frugally?

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

The Oxford American Dictionary defines frugal as “sparing or economical with regard to money or food; simple and plain and costing little”. Yet being frugal is not about being cheap or skimping on things you enjoy.

Being frugal is about saving money in certain areas, so you can spend it on things that really make you happy. Cutting from areas that will have minimal impact on your lifestyle, and spending it in areas to maximize your enjoyment. It’s all about spending money wisely, which of course varies from person to person.

This site is dedicated to sharing my tips on saving and spending to achieve a fabulous lifestyle on a small budget. Not all the ideas will be suitable for your life, but I’m sure there will be a few things that make you rethink what you do.
