Do you have any money-saving habits that others may deem excessively frugal? Personally, I prefer to live in a small apartment that is less expensive than the others. Although some have questioned my choice of living as being frugal, I do not care. My flat is small, but it is always clean and has an aesthetically pleasing design. Furthermore, I can live freely with my two gorgeous fur babies, which is a great benefit for me. In my opinion, it is a win-win situation because I can live my life on my own terms while simultaneously saving money.

Lol at dumpsters sale. Well, it might not seem so to the person. You know what might be trash to you might be another person's treasure. But it is good to be frugal.

I buy most things used and it's frugal for me. For example, my smartphone and my TV are used. Also, I even bought a used wardrobe.
 
For me l have a saving habit that most people would see it as excessively frugal, like l can be able to skip meals for the sake of saving on Money.

It is okay. I have a friend who does the same thing and she is always happy with her purchases. Hehe

It is a fact that what one person considers trash, another person might see as treasure. It all depends on individual perspectives and preferences.

Some people do not mind buying second-hand items, especially if it will help them save a lot of money. Hehe

There is nothing wrong with buying second-hand items. If it will help you save a lot of money, go for it. :) I do not mind buying second-hand clothes. Hehe

I see. I hope it won't affect your health. I usually do not eat breakfast and I have been doing it for a while now. It has become a habit for me.

That's nice but do they last long, compared to when you buy a brand new one?

That's right you would save going to the hospital by doing this as your health will be in top gear as well.

Hospitalization can be costly, especially in the present times. I recall being admitted for around a week, but I lacked the finances to pay for my medical bills. Because of this, I had to turn to my parents for financial assistance, which left them feeling upset.

I truly appreciate your ways of living. Being frugal isn't a sin but appreciated by those whose mindsets like frugality. It's one source to be always prepared because saving is the top priority.

Sure, you need to save money no matter how small. You can't be too sure about the future without having savings

That's right, mate, we have to save even small amounts and let us forget it and let ot grow by adding some if there is available money.
 
Some people can actually be very frugal. A friend that I know would not bath in his bathroom just to ensure that the soak away pit doesn't get full and he has to spend money on fixing another one.

Thank you, my friend. I appreciate it. It is not and will never be a sin to be frugal. It can be hard at times, but with discipline, you will be able to make it.

It is always good to save even the smallest amount of money, as it can accumulate over time and eventually surprise you with how much you have saved :)
 
Some people are just plain stingy these ones are not being frugal they are just hoarders even to themselves
