My philosophy is to live within your means so that you CAN enjoy the finer things in life -like dinner out with your spouse - without having to feel guilty for paying a babysitter. If you have stayed within your budget, and budgeted a date night a couple of times a month, then you don't have to fell guilty about it. It's all about a budget. Not just cutting costs.kellyshttp://www.thriftymommy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37697766.post-8901681220504450352007-09-05T05:54:00.000-07:002007-09-05T05:54:00.000-07:002007-09-05T05:54:00.000-07:00I agree with Anonymous, Sept. 3. I wish people who breed animals, dogs, cats, horses, would think more about where the offspring will wind up, many in the dumps. This is just part of responsible living, thinking of the eventuality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37697766.post-89003154785281127412007-09-03T02:27:00.000-07:002007-09-03T02:27:00.000-07:002007-09-03T02:27:00.000-07:00Frugal living is almost always more <B>earth-friendly</B>, too. <BR/><BR/>I'm thinking more before I make a purchase, all the way through to whether it will eventually end up as landfill. <BR/><BR/>..and can I re-purpose something I already have to fill the need?<BR/><BR/>..and I've found that less stuff mean more personal freedomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37697766.post-1940396152295943602007-08-29T05:37:00.000-07:002007-08-29T05:37:00.000-07:002007-08-29T05:37:00.000-07:00Great Post. I just love when Personal Finance Bloggers highlight frugal living.<BR/><BR/>I'm not broke by any means, but I practice frugal living. Not because I have to, but because I want to. . ..so that I can spend money on the things I truly enjoy. So we have motorcycles, and are buying a new home (which is actually an old home, 1899) etc etc. <BR/><BR/>I sort of got flamed for the house choice a few days ago because a reader couldn't understand that and seemed to think frugality was about not spending money at all.Jenn @ Frugal Upstatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11737088723989230434noreply@blogger.com
