Will Frugal Living REALLY Make You Rich

[@sandraparry8653]

I love you both, such a wonderful couple. In my long life I have never had a kind or understanding relationship. I am really frugal, I have No car, just use the free bus. I never waste food or energy. I have saved enough over 2 years, and have paid for a new bathroom suite. I have had a shower put in, no bath now because I can't use a bath anymore, I've had a new toilet and sink as well. Really pleased with it. Yes 2 years of savings have paid cash for it.😊😊 I need to to save now for a new front door next. ❤

You're doing really great! I'm like you and don't have a car. People are always surprised when I tell them I don't have a car, which I find bizarre! Our society is too car centric. I do a big shop once a month and get a taxi home with all the shopping. I'd rather pay £6-8 for a taxi rather than all the mega costs associated with a car. I'm in the process of doing up my bathroom too and bought the sink etc bit by bit and used vouchers, special offers and Topcashback to get the prices down. Its taken me about 2 years too, so no debt or borrowing to get it all!!!

[@hollynauss6359]

Where do you have free buses???!

[@KristelViljoen]

Great job, well done. ❤

[@mkistach7115]

We have our freezers stocked for the rest of this winter. I know you guys are not meat eaters but for us this saves tons of money by not having to grocery shop more than once a month!!

[@grettalemabouchou6779]

I live like a Queen bc I practice SELF CONTROL. It also makes me feel good. I wait and research. It pays off. No one manipulates me 😊

My mother is an investor since 30 years or so, she only lost big once. She has a lifestyle that my family will never have. But you need to be build to take a punch. I'm not, I prefer slow and steady and also not impressive results. I only started around 2 years ago and I'm so happy with my progress. I am extremely pleased than my growing sons are starting to understand the difference between wants and needs that Larry mentioned. It's very valuable life lesson that I didn't get and as much as I'm grateful for all the things and experiences my mother offered to me and my brother, I realise now we have been feeling lost without this core knowledge "what is really what I need". Frugality was the way out for me from always feeling like "I need" more.

I discovered an easy switch at the grocery store that is saving us money. We buy 3 bags of Aldi’s riced cauliflower each week. A few weeks ago they were sold out and heads of cauliflower were on sale so I bought two. We actually got 3 times the amount from one head as we were getting in the bags of frozen cauliflower for the same price!

[@godisgood2919]

How do you make it? Do you use a knife or have an appliance?

[@kerryjames6312]

Being frugual doesn't make you rich it helps prioritise your needs and wants

[@sw6118]

Frugality might not make you rich with money, but frugality can help you focus your spending and that will help you make your life rich with what matters.

[@janetemple2833]

Being frugal has made my husband and I time rich.

[@evelyncasto9627]

My husband and ME, not my husband and I.

[@terryhenderson424]

Being frugal gives you enough cash flow to build wealth. Frugality can give you a higher standard of every day spending life. Frugality can give you a big enough "puddle" of money to buy more individually expensive items; in turn this can save money as well.

[@grettalemabouchou6779]

Excellent

[@shaunabeebeefrontyardgarde4574]

I actually have money in my savings account again in just a couple of months. Zero balance budgeting and meal planning (along with staying home not eating out) have been game changers.

[@KristelViljoen]

Well done. It takes alot of discipline.❤

[@karenlindstrom8266]

Our thing is going out to restaurants!! We have a serious budget written. We ARE doing better, however we backslide now & then. In addition we are getting better at evaluating and sometimes we do talk ourselves out of eating out quite a bit these days!! We love your channel and watch it together!

[@sandraparry8653]

Also I think I did very good on a low spend January. Whole month £39.72p for food. 🇬🇧

[@tressalewis7004]

It helps to have a budget extended several months

[@SkintLivingUK]

Great Video! Frugality gives me peace of mind! Absolutely priceless! Having an emergency fund is the best feeling ever. I'm still working on building it up but at least now I have a buffer if things go inevitably wrong.

[@rosescott9666]

Keep up the great work, really love watching you both and learning a lot!

[@Ozarkmountainoutback1]

My favorite couple! The only KZbin channel I watch every single time 😂❤

[@SkintLivingUK]

Me too!

[@victorwadsworth821]

Effort & common-sense equal wealth & enjoying what you have equals fulfillment.

[@glendagrosjean477]

Great video! Love Larry's shirt too. Your lamp looks like it is frowning though, lol.

[@tressalewis7004]

Delayed gratification…still waiting for my dog fence six years later!

[@karenbachar5253]

Being frugal to me means having enough and being secure.

[@carolynbyrd5656]

Love you both. Great lesson. All your teaching helps me. If I listen.

[@kerryjames6312]

I have well stocked freezer which helps

[@victorwadsworth821]

Wealth should not be measured by money but by a happy lifestyle. Friends & family should out weight a buck.

[@KristelViljoen]

Completely agree❤

[@wrigs4prez]

Hope and Larry - would you consider making a video about the newly imposed tariffs and how to navigate them with your budget?

[@katherinerichardson1767]

Really? We have done the same thing. Having a budget has been a life saver for us. Thanks as always for sharing your ideas on saving money. ❤

[@pugpreslar711]

For me frugality equals PEACE OF MIND for my future.

[@kerryjames6312]

If I have a windfall in 2025 it goes back into savings

[@terryhenderson424]

We have a larder (fridge, freezer, pantry, food and other) which contains mostly items purchased at good to excellent prices. Some were purchased at the best-ish price at the time but in enough quantity "to last a year" as a part of our current larder approach of "inflation fighting". We are doing this with tp, shampoo, cream rinse, toothpaste, contractor garbage bags, and a number of our cleaning supplies. And then we dont overly replentish until things are prett well used up. That is, unless we come across a super sale or clearance for these things. We are currently saving between 10% and 500% on the items in our larder.

[@sharonhart3735]

A valuable video

[@victorwadsworth821]

KZbin free Movie Night, try Jules & a Street Cat Named Bob?

[@keebler5064]

You 2 are so cute! What a great team! It’s hard for me to even get my hubby to even take a picture! But, man is he handy! Here’s to amazing husbands! I’m saying this after 40 years of marriage, so I know of what I speak! God Bless! P.S. Larry, why do you wear 2 watches?

[@anniejefferson7329]

Even if you don't see it, your not spending it.

[@GEAUXFRUGAL]

Rich is relative, Bible was talking about land of milk and honey. Good thing it wasn't eggs and beef ?

[@KristelViljoen]

😂❤

[@kerryjames6312]

I do meal plan

[@victorwadsworth821]

Sister found $21,000.00 from Social Security added to her bank account. Watching for something for me, heard maybe February 12th.

[@m.connielillis7032]

Now that's a windfall!

[@celestebarrentine3922]

I would find out what that is about before spending any of it. Put it in a 6 month CD so earn a little money on it, then wait for the other shoe to drop.

[@victorwadsworth821]

@celestebarrentine3922 she found out, part of a disability payout, I suggested half in a four month CD

[@hollynauss6359]

Make sure it's correct before spending it and save enough to cover the added income taxes!

[@saversavvy2670]

Make sure it's for real. You will owe it back to them even years later. Even if it is their mistake.

[@henrywalters5696]

Why is Larry wearing 2 watches?

[@alliestrachan2188]

One could be a step counter?
