I am naturally frugal. I value money and wouldn’t want to spend it on stuff I don’t value.

I’ve just discovered your blog, and so enjoy reading a kindred spirit. My husband and I have been blessed financially – he is gifted with finances, and that has served us well. But we live a very frugal life, because it is the right thing for us. We could afford to have someone clean our house, but what will that teach our children? Or say about how we care for it during the week? We could afford… well, we could afford many things, but things do not make a happy life, do not make for happier people. Living generously, simply, lovingly. Sometimes that means spending, but most often that means saving up and treating each day as a gift.
Cheers to you – can’t wait to read down into the older days of the blog!

@ Justine, you are so right. Sometimes I feel not so frugal but it is a fact that life is expensive so there is only so frugal I can be.

@deepali, i like to think every teeny frugal thing I can do is a small token to help the world. And even I have a limit to my frugality – like I won’t shop at WalMart because the prices aren’t worth the global impact.

@Sharon J, it is neat to get to a place where you turn your back on something and find yourself. congrats!

@Frugal Trenches – beautifully stated.

@ Marie – I completely agree. The most expensive furniture I own is sitting in a closed off unfinished room in my house because I don’t particularly like it – mostly because it’s shiny and pristine. Definitely not worth it when I don’t even use it.

Even if I was a millionaire I’d still scour the thrift stores and the endcaps at Target. Why? Because it’s the thrill of a deal for me. The things I spent the most on- my dining room table and bedroom furniture, for example- I hate the most. Pricey does not equal worth it.

What a great post, sorry you’ve had difficult people. One sentence sums up for me why I am frugal:

I want to be the change I want to see in the world!

First I was frugal because I was happy living a relatively simple life, something I learned from my mum. Then came a period of over spending before I realised what buying (and thus being part of producing) all that stuff was doing to our environment as well as ourselves (removing us from the ability to truly appreciate the little things in life, getting into debt, having no funds to fall back on etc) so turned my back on spending and am much happier now that I’m living frugaly again.
