Frugal Tip: Evaluate Your Priorities
Today’s frugal tip is a more generalized one that can be adapted to whatever situation that sits in front of you. Frugality is about more than saving money, it is a way of looking at life. Spending money in and of itself is not a bad thing, and in fact, it is a necessary thing. How that money is spent, and what we are saying with the choices we make on how to spend the money, is what creates frugality.
When thinking about how you spend your money, look at what your choices say about what you value. The choices you make in what to spend more on indicates what you value more. It is something to keep in mind when thinking about spending a significant amount of money – what are my long term goals? How does this help or hinder them? Is this expense in line with what I value?
Having our spending reflect our own unique set of goals, values, and priorities makes all the difference.
