If someone is frugal they are thrifty. They do not spend money frivolously. They are very conscious and aware of where and on what their money is spent.
It means paying off our debt takes a little longer, and we can’t afford to buy a house in our expensive area of the Pacific Northwest, but that’s OK. Second, being frugal means living within my means. If I don’t have the money, I don’t buy it.
Paying extra in credit card interest isn’t a frugal use of money. This means I have to learn to be content with what I have. They say money doesn’t buy happiness, and it’s true.
Sometimes that’s hard to remember when you’re admiring your friend’s new house, but learning to be content is key to living a life of frugality. Third, being frugal means not wasting. If I can’t use something, I find out if I can recycle it or give it away before I resort to throwing it away.
I take care of my things. It’s not frugal to break something and have to buy a new one, because I didn’t take care of it in the first place. I desire to live a simple life that reflects good stewardship of the resources God has given me.
Do I always succeed?
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
