I use to think that people who were frugal were just being cheap people. After spending all my money on useless shit in my younger years. I’ve not realized, ‘Being Frugal is not CHEAP but SMART!’. As I look back, I was just being a stupid kid.
I use to make a decent amount of money, but if I’m spending my money everywhere I go. I end up putting my profits into other people’s pockets. Instead of my own 
.
I now believe it’s a great IDEA to maintain being frugal. Even better because we’re in a recession, we need to save more.
I’ve got use to being frugal for about 3-4 months now and stopped spending so much money on a daily basis on junk.
It’s been tough but it’s also a lot smarter. I look back and wonder how I was actually spending all that money.
For me at least, I guess I like to learn the hard way.
Ways to Be Frugal
- Live at home with the parents.
- Resist buying a new car. Fix your old one. If not buy a decent used car, don’t buy brand new.
- Resist from eating fast food or spending money on food. Big money waster.
- Wash your own car. Save yourself $20 every time you wash your car.
- Don’t spend all your money.
- STOP buying food from gas stations. I do it all the time and spend lots.
Do More: Save & Invest For Your Future
Since I’m back at ground zero. My goal is to climb up the computer industry and eventually get a decent paying job in the computer field. I want to do this while working on my own internet businesses and going to college full-time. I think double paycheck would be great. I can take advantage of all the extra benefits and max out my 401k from an early age.
I wish, I started earlier but guess NOW is the best time .
Good luck on your goals. I will talk more about personal finance and making money in the future once I learn more .
