Frugal Thought for June 7th, 2021

Post by Jackielou »

"With our economy in complete shambles nowadays, frugal living has become a cheaper way of life for many people and families throughout the entire world." Ricky Gomez

Not too sure how this could apply now, yet somehow this called to me. Perhaps it is because of the rising costs in shopping for groceries or other goods.

The only thing I don't like about it is the word "cheaper". True but that word has bad vibes for me.

What hit me about this quote was frugal living as an antidote to “an economy in complete shambles.”

This reminds me of an Amy Dacyczyn article in the Tightwad Gazette called “Yipee We Can Spend Again.” Amy talked about people spending like crazy when they were flush with money and then scrimping during hard times. Of course she was advocating to instead watch your money carefully in good times and bad to even out your money flow. I agree with her.
