Can you name 32 reasons to be frugal? Jennifer Derrick of savingadvice.com can. Check out her list; then, share your own reasons for being frugal.
Here are my top five (non-money) reasons:
1. It's good for the environment.
2. It gives me more freedom to live the life that I want to live.
3. It makes me appreciate what I have more.
4. I enjoy learning how to do more for myself.
5. I like to bargain shop.
Um, what do you mean it’s “good for the environment”…and why should that be a reason to be that concerned about?
Uh, because we live on this earth and the way everyone is embracing the disposable lifestyle, we are ruining it!
What’s better, using cloth napkins that you wash and reuse (and thus save money) or using paper ones that go to a landfill and rot, putting dangerous chemicals into the earth? You should see what chemicals those paper companies put in that paper – you would never want to use paper again! So yes, being frugal “is” good for the environment – using second-hand clothes in itself can save a bunch from going into a landfill…
Because frugal living feels good…there’s an old saying that goes, “use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without”. If a few of the overconsumptive countries (namely the US) could embrace this mantra, we would all be in a much better situation…frugality rocks!
Uh, because you live in the environment, Crow. Look around. Caw, caw.
What a terrible attitude. If everyone felt this way we would be covered with garbage and not able to eat anything because of the poisons in our food and water. Think about it and get off your high horse.
