This is a great analogy, but also gave me the kick in the pants I needed to start working out again today. I picked up running (a little too quickly, I think) for about six months, but had to stop due to injury. I always forget how motivating that endorphin rush can be. When I run (or work out in general), I am full of energy and ready to tackle just about anything.

I have been struggling with this exact issue. That just answered it in a nutshell. THANKS! What a relief.

@Lisa, that is true, they are part of life and they are more or less “expected” and planned for. When I am so used to not spending much money on anything, it does feel like I am not being frugal when I pay a huge chunk of change for something like huge medical bills or a car repair. Although I know all the being frugal is what makes paying them without gathering debt possible. Just like with running, I can prepare and train and that is what helps me get through a race well. It doesn’t mean that there isn’t pain in there somewhere though

Nice post!

It’s interesting though… Why do your rules of frugality go out the window when something unexpected arises? Unexpected expenses always happen — why do we even think of them as unexpected? Shouldn’t part of living frugally encompass expecting the unexpected and planning for it?

I run on a treadmill now, but about a year and a half ago I was running outside for 40 minutes, 4 times a week. It feels great! I need to get back in shape so I can start doing that again (I find running on a treadmill sooooo much easier than running outside, but running outside is more fun).
