My SO and I are pretty frugal. We both are "jeans and t-shirts" kind of people. I bulk buy t-shirts so they're like $3US each, for example. I do have a polo or two for occasions. We are both senior eng and we live on less than one income. We give away most of the other income because that brings us joy. Our home is paid for (as are our vehicles, etc - we are completely debt free), but we continue to pay a mortgage, car payment, etc. to ourselves so that we are constantly saving for the next one. This helps keep our spending in check because every single dollar has a job. We don't want for anything really because "stuff" just weighs us down; it's a burden. That being said, we aren't extreme. We both love to read, so we never deny ourselves the books we want to read. We love traveling, so we don't deny ourselves that either. But what we don't do is buy a Porsche because Ted down the road bought one. If that's how he wants to spend his money, that's his business, but we don't desire those things. |
