Many people who found out about the words [http://www.keepmeoffwelfare.com Frugal living] imagine somebody surviving in darkness, eating only canned meals and suffering to save a few dollars. That's simply not true. Frugal living is not about suffering in order to save, depriving yourself of stuff you love for the sake of being frugal. It is about making smart financial decisions and spending less, so you can live living you want to live without corresponding two jobs to cover it.

Frugal living means knowing when and just how much you should invest in something you want. By learning how to live frugally you'll avoid paying over the top for something which isn't worth it... or can be bought cheaper somewhere else or by utilizing coupons and rebates. It's making a conscious effort to invest in smarter spending, even when that includes planning what you're going to buy, stockpiling food if this can be bought cheap and getting things you don't need at this time only when the price is appropriate.

[http://www.keepmeoffwelfare.com Frugal] living can be closely related to eco-friendly lifestyles, because senseless consumerism is not part of the deal. As opposed to buying, buying, and getting, the frugal lifestyle encourages repairing, cleaning and treating things carefully so they have a longer life. In many cases, it also encourages better consumer decisions, because an item's value also takes into account how long it is going to last. Buying a cheap t-shirt that will last 5 washes, or even a slightly more expensive one over a sale, that will last several seasons? It is possible to guess which of these two options matches the frugal living lifestyle better.

[http://www.keepmeoffwelfare.com Austerity] - Living frugally takes more effort than taking the easy route and spending without thinking, but it also has many benefits. Everything money you save by utilizing coupons can go towards settling your debts, or your mortgage, years prior to being supposed to. It can also help keeping you off debt, which is extremely important because understanding that you are in control of your financial situation means you will live a more secure and happier life. And it is also kinder for the environment, so what's never to like?
