Frugality. It’s a word that, for many people, screams deprivation and even poverty. I get letters from readers who say they’ve had it with trying to live below their means and never having anything they love. “What’s the point if all of this deprivation if it just makes me feel even more miserable?” was the way one woman closed her letter.
Look, I can’t know your particular situation. But I do know this: If you adjust your attitude, get a plan, and then let nothing stop you from reaching it, you can have the things you love.
