Frugal Living Is for the Resourceful
Basically, living by the mantra
REDUCE REUSE RECYCLE
. For some, it is considered a virtue and part of a spiritual discipline. To environmentalists frugality is fundamental to a sustainable way of life. Yet, for others, it is the basis of their path to sanity in an insane world. Reducing their spending and consumption of goods to the bare minimum allows die-hard "frugalites" to enjoy the true gifts of an enriched life: peace of mind, freedom from stress, and that very rare and precious commodity--time. How Much Is Enough?Are you beginning to see a pattern? Do you see the method behind the madness? Whether you call it eco-friendly, sustainable, green, simple , or frugal living, it's all the same. While there may be degrees to how much is enough, being frugal or thrifty means you take care in not squandering your money or resources carelessly. This includes on a grander scale the earth’s resources. Regardless of social or economic background, people are adopting frugal practices, out of necessity or conviction. Out of a desire to make a difference. Shopping for bargains and "making do" is an art form to the frugal. It is about giving value to the concept of enough. How much is enough for you? How many pairs of shoes do you own? How many do you really need? Think of all the possibilities for simplifying your life. You make dozens of choices every day that affect your stress level, your happiness, your use of time and money. Where can you cut back? Do you want to cut back? How will it make you feel? You can start today, right now! Decide just how far you want to take it.
