Very good advice. A lot of people still don’t realize that by making small, simple changes in their habits, it will affect their financial status in the end.

A word of advice regarding bulk purchases though. There are times where bulk purchases are not always cheaper, so price comparisons need to be done.

I thought the idea of being frugal was that we could afford our little vices and splurges. if not, then what is the point of living?

I think the whole Frugal Fraud thing is appaling and very judgemental. Isn't the whole point of spending money wisely to spend it on things that add value to your life? Different people think different things add value, it's not a one size fits all situation. You do what works for you, and what makes you happy. I know I'm not prepared to stop living my life because I'm in debt, I for one think money spent on travel & experiences is money well spent. I'm not staying home until I'm debt free, but I can pay cash for my holidays in the meantime and moving forward. debtdieter’s last blog post..Paying Stupid Tax

I always feel being frugal is a way to attain other stuff that you enjoy. Per.sonally I like to travel and I have told myself that I want to visit a different place ever year. Yet, traveling is among the most expensive activity. At the end of the day, I live frugally so I can see the rest of the world plin’s last blog post..E-Movie Cash Ticket for Fast & Furious or Any Other Universal Pictures Release

I agree that it’s all about choices. I prefer to save money on certain things so I can splurge on things that are important to me. Overall I am pretty frugal person, but I also have my weaknesses like everyone else.

It depends on what the person does afterward, if they realize it and learn the lesson. I got out of debt and almost went out to buy a 15K car despite the deal I got, it was eating me up inside and I backed out. Mind you, it took me about 7 months to pay of over 10K in debt tom’s last blog post..#1 Examine your network of friends

I don’t think being frugal means you have to give up on some luxuries. Being frugal to me means that you can manage your money well and be able to afford some of life’s little luxuries and pay in cash!

Those tips are for people who are really struggling financially. If you aren't struggling, you don't have to budget as much. When my husband and I were living paycheck to paycheck, we bought cheap food at the grocery store, didn't eat out hardly at all, worked extra shifts where we could, didn't fly anywhere, etc... Now that we're more financially stable, we can order out more often without worrying too much about it, spend more on higher quality foods at the grocery store, and I don't have to work at all! We budget according to our needs, not according to some frugal fad. Jennifer @ Money Saver 101’s last blog post..Save Money with Discounts - The Container Store
