Some people seem to be worried that frugal living is no longer in fashion. That somehow, responsible spending is not the right thing to do anymore when everyone is saying that consumers need to spend in this economy. With so many amazing articles in this edition and such a great audience, I’d just like to say
- Frugal living is timeless
- Frugal living is about sensible spending and
- Frugal living is a personal choice
If you’ve also made that choice, there’s no need to care what other people think.
