Being Frugal

Frugality is eye opening and in today’s economy a necessity. I have learned so much in the last year that we have been watching dollars and cutting costs.  

What Is Frugal Living?

Frugal living is living below your means and making it a priority to save money. Living frugally is about making smart choices.  Choosing to go without or choosing a generic or cheaper alternative. 

How Can Frugal Living Save Me Money?

When you live frugally you are actively making a choice to live well on less.  This means you are saving money to help pay down debt or save for other things. 

Frugal Budgeting

Setting a budget has been so important in getting us to where we are today.

Simpler Living

Changing my mindset, living a simpler life and setting goals for our future has been so important.  I can tell you that I look at costs so differently now.
