We all have to do what we can to save money. What is cheap to one person is frugal to another.

Iva…while it is easy to say that people just need to change we need to sometimes remember that depending on the circumstance they may not be able to change.

You’re right, it is a fine line… But when you’re in debt it’s best to save any way you can so you can get back in control of your finances.

For people who used to spend frivolously, jumping over the fence from frugal to cheap might be a good way to re-train spending habits too.

I think as long as you allow for a treat here and there or sacrifice spending on something so you can afford something you really love, only good can come of it.

Yeah you are in some areas….but I think you spend where you feel necessary (like on the computer!!!!)

Like you, I grew up without a lot of money. My family was borderline lower-class. I lived in trailer parks for most of my life.

But, I never really realized it until I got older. I can remember begging my parents to buy me a computer for Christmas, but year after year, it never happened.

Anyway, once I got out on my own I told myself I would never put myself in a position to have to settle for something that wasn’t desirable. I treat myself when going out to restaurants, etc. but I don’t overly spend on things like some people do (180k for a coat hah).

BTW, Red Lobster is the Business!!! Love that place!
