20 Things People Get Wrong About Frugal Living

[@bridgettetraveler658]

I consider myself as frugal. Some ppl can't believe I wear clothes for 10 or 20 yrs if they still fit! I grew up poor & learned to take care of whatever The LORD Blesses me with ! Great video!!!

[@cindyriehm7411]

My friend was minimal before it was a thing! She still has her and wears her jeans from high school. We are 66 years old.

[@frugalcreativeliving]

Wow! I wish I could still fit my jeans from high school! But if you can fit 'em and you like 'em, I say keep 'em and wear 'em!

[@MarcelleBryant-c3u]

Wow!

My sister and I went thrifting after years and we were extremely surprised that 80% of the thrifters in about seven stores we visited were young generation and we found some amazing stuff ❤

I’m a minimalist who believes in quality over quantity. Everything I buy, I see as an investment. My car was ten yrs old, my phone, four, and it’s been too long since I had an eye exam and new glasses. So this week, I got new Rx glasses (60% coupon), new updated phone ($300 rebate), and a new Toyota Corolla Hybrid ($5000 trade-in). My fave frugality tip is, take advantage of everything your local library has to offer. Books, CDs, magazines, classes, museum passes, social events, things (like Go-Pros, and telescopes).

[@frugalcreativeliving]

Good job saving on those purchases! And yes, the libraries offer more now than people realize!

[@ksavage8851]

Glad I found your channel. Excellent points. My bf doesn't believe in frugality and always in debt. Causes problems. No frugality =no marriage

[@frugalcreativeliving]

It is definitely difficult when you view money differently than your significant other. 😬

[@karenwoodall2991]

One of the biggest things couples fight about is money. If you're not on the same page about finances, maybe you're better off to be free to move on to someone who is more like-minded. Don't waste each other's time if he's not willing to learn new ways.

[@stefaniemore3203]

Your statement: "No frugality = no marriage" that is true wisdom!!!

[@Nisa-gm5wg]

Smart woman to realize this early on. Don’t waste your time on people who don’t want to be better

Happy Sunday! This video had me chuckling because we are so similar. I am no longer into name brands. I find that the store brand tastes equal to or better than the national brands. To me, frugality is FUN! It spurs my creativity: trying to figure out how to maintain my fabulous lifestyle on a very tight budget is quite the challenge…LOL!!!🙏🏾🕊️✌🏾♻️🎀💞💖💗💝💓💘💕

[@frugalcreativeliving]

Absolutely! I completely agree!! 😄

[@martinmaynard141]

I'm in my early 60s and a Brit. I have recently discovered I am "frugal". I just thought I lived with what I got. Your mention of travelling on the bus in Mexico brought back memories. My sister lives in Phonenix (AZ) and when I visited her I caught the bus (I don't drive) and I was hailed as a hero. I have trevelled on buses all over the world and I speak Spanish so a bus with a picture of the Virgen of Guadalupe and some maricahe playing was just home from home.

[@frugalcreativeliving]

Nice! I think you get to see more of how the natives live when you catch the bus anywhere.

[@debkincaid2891]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this video & you're enthusiasm. You, young lady, ate inspiring! Thanks for the video. ❤

[@frugalcreativeliving]

😄 Thank you and you're welcome!

As always, I enjoyed your delivery on the subject. Like you, when I was younger I bought cheap-priced items. I felt that the more I had, the better I’d look to others. Today, I don’t care about impressing anyone but myself when I meet a financial goal I set for myself. 😁 As for your dollar store section of the video, if people enjoy sending greeting cards like I do, this is the go-to place to get them. Why spend $5 for a birthday card when you can get the same message sent for $1?????? Just sayin’!!!!

[@frugalcreativeliving]

Absolutely! Greeting cards creeped up to $8 and a lot of people throw your cards away! I used to spend a lot of money on cards but not anymore! Thanks for commenting!

[@julieirwin9637]

@ $8!!!!!!!! I guess that shows how long it’s been since I bought full-price greeting cards! Dollar tree has a card section (if they still have it) where the cards are 2 for $1, and that’s where I go. The first part of every January I go up to my dollar tree with a list of the people I’m going to send cards to for the year and buy them all at once. Saves me a lot of time and money.

[@teresaromero8655]

Very wise lady ! I like you . 😊

[@pamelalyon3264]

I find some excellent quality, designer clothing for less than $10 that lasts a long time. Consignment and thrift shopping is fun for me.

[@l.b.8890]

This was a thoughtful and well done video. Really easy and enjoyable to watch. Thank you.

[@frugalcreativeliving]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@kerryjames6312]

Frugality was not my choice it's my circumstances and I thank God it happened to me am surprised how now I intentional spend

[@sherry3982]

Just subscribed. I have been watching you for quite some time. Really enjoyed this post. I am a frugal senior, at first as a necessity and now my chosen lifestyle. It provides freedom and peace. I am sure your post will impact someone in a positive way. Thanks!

Great video and ideas!!

[@camillecali2]

I dont travel anymore and I dont buy flowers anymore. It depends are you frugal out of need or just because. If you only have $30 after basics bills you don’t travel. I guess some frugal people have privilege.

[@newmobile1455]

Im thriving on $8,500 a year no smartphone no car no TV what make me happy is bicycle commuting video games and outdoor fun my home is paid for so I don't have to work long hours 20 hours a week is enough for me

I'm a lot like you,I'll buy the cheaper version of food for the cost and a lot of times I found not difference in taste just price, and if I really can do without an item I'll do that example my sofa ,the original legs were cracked ( plastic they were ) so I went on Amazon site saw new wooden legs and saved myself 1000s from buying a new sofa also the original cushions were sprung out but the overall couch is still good I ditched the cushions and just bought chaise lounge cushions for my sofa hey it's not perfect but it works, I also buy some groceries at dt especially if I buy the same thing in my groceries store. Plus what some people don't realize is you hmo insurance will pay for healthy food and otc medicine ( OK you have to shop at the store where the insurance company has the contract with .

[@reginabeasley872]

Plus patients can get their physicians to write a prescription say for a cane and your medical insurance will pay for it instead of you paying for it ( it has to be covered by your insurance company) I use my healthy food and utilities paying portion every month it helps me tremendously

[@frugalcreativeliving]

Great piece of information! Thanks for sharing that!

[@uberurbana4894]

My friend was being made fun of for only buying 4 ears of corn when it was 12 ears for a couple of dollars. She said but this is all we will eat....and i don't throw any away or i would be throwing my money away....very smart, i thought bc i would buy a dozen ears and throw out 5. The smartest thing my Dad ever told me....find you a good used car, one where the owner has saved all of the paperwork and kept up on the oil changes and tune ups...and use that car until the wheels fall off, then find another good used car. Don't ever buy a new car....biggest waste of money. It never accrues value and you pay top dollar payments with top dollar insurance. Huge waste of money.

[@frugalcreativeliving]

It's true! Cars depreciate so fast!

[@madtiger111]

frugal > thrifty >>>>>> cheap

[@kerryjames6312]

I will remain frugal age 56
