I know how to be frugal....

Patti says I'm tight. Matter of fact I give scrooge a run for his money. After all a year ago we were technically homeless. Got my own place again and will be payment free in a year or so. Beats camping out in my son's backyard. Here's a site where the yuppies can can commiserate because the cost of bri and croisants have gone up.

Americans don’t know how to be frugal — yet
Things will get more expensive. Taxes will eventually go up. They have to. Costs of ordinary goods will go up. They always do. If you’re expecting it to get easier, you’re wrong. The key is to make more money and cut your costs. Sadly, Americans are poorly versed in being frugal. You think it makes sense to buy a new car every few years? You think it’s normal to eat out 5 times per week (lunch and dinner)? You feel good about yourself for ordering water when you go to a restaurant, but you blew $50,000 because you didn’t take the time to understand your mortgage? You’re not frugal. But a few more years of an economy like this and things just might change.
