If you are Trump, perhaps not going to the most expensive restaurant in town is 'surviving'. Us regular people...it's different! And I hope blog readers can figure that out!

If you are forced to be frugal, it feels like you're poor because you don't have a choice in the matter. After you've reached financial goals, being frugal is truly a choice and to me, it seems like the better choice most of the time.

Because of this mentality, I never feel like I am surviving, but always thriving, even when I'm broke. Downside is that when someone ask me what I want for birthday or Christmas, I never pick a want, always a need.

I recently took on an extra job (which I ended up liking) -- with the sole purpose of being able to pay someone to clean my house! <br /><br />I think this speaks to Penny's point of living with purpose.

Otherwise you are a coward.

If you stopped reading so quickly, you should have just moved on and not commented at all.<br /><br />I think this is a very good post, and clarifies many things people wonder about and have problems with. The comment from a friend that this blog is "just surviving" is also without merit, Susan from NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15218796725448653351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300660817354328186.post-13102858498739359872017-02-07T19:51:04.211+00:002017-02-07T19:51:04.211+00:00OMG.

Unfortunately, we realized that one expense we were cutting was something that, while certainly not a necessity, is one that we both enjoy and helps us keep our stress levels down.

I actually stumbled upon your blog because I am a vegan (vegetarian at the time) and I liked several of your posted recipes. I continued reading your blog not necessarily because I NEED to save money, but because I liked your posts about living intentionally.
