Keeping It Frugal

The quickest way to get out of debt is to increase your earnings and reduce your costs. When paying off my debt I was always looking for ways to make a little extra money or reduce a bill. Now debt free it's important to continue to do this .

I'll never pay more than I have to for anything. That's not to say I won't spend money on things that are important to me, I will, but I won't be paying over the odds for anything that's not. To me this is being frugal; you reduce your expenses on the boring stuff, like utility costs, to free up your money for the good stuff, like organic meat and travel (just two random examples of my choices!)

What about you, what do you consider the good stuff?

  1. This is what being frugal means to me too. The'good stuff' to me is singing lessons, eating out and getting my ironing done but even these would go if I was out of work.
