There are lots of tips and tricks for getting the most out of frugal living but there is only one rule.
“Spend Less Than You Earn”
Wikipedia has this to say about frugality
Frugality is the practice of acquiring goods and services in a restrained manner, and resourcefully using already owned economic goods and services, to achieve a longer term goal.
The key word there is restrained.
Unfortunately there is nothing restrained about our culture. Our culture is based on
- over consumption and infinite growth on a planet of finite resources
- debt
- waste
- immediate gratification
- inconsequential nonsense
- destruction of the natural world to feed our (media induced)desires
Our culture is the opposite of restrained – it’s a monster unleashed.
Frugal living is about putting that monster back in it’s cage. One family at a time, throwing a rope on the beast and pulling it back.
Frugal living is allowing yourself to be an amazing individual instead of a boring member of the herd.
Frugal living is being resourceful, creative and thoughtful.
Frugal living is planning, planning and more planning.
Frugal living is finding pleasure in simple things and ultimately realizing that those simple things are actually truly amazing.
Frugal living is about consuming only what you need, ignoring manufactured (advertising induced) wants.
Frugal living is a journey. Along the way you’ll discover who you really are and what really matters.
At the end of the journey you’ll be in the Frugal Zone, which is a really great place to be.
On this site we’ll show you ways to save money and we hope that you’ll take the time to watch some of the videos we’ve gathered together for you.
Because it’s only when you come to understand that the system serves the few and not the many, that you will be able to unburden yourself of any feelings of failure that may be weighing you down.
Hi, I just got through the money as debt videos. I’m stunned. Actually I think I have to watch them again to fully get my head around the scam. This is outrageous stuff, we’ve been taken for a ride. But what can we do?
Pete those videos do leave you feeling pretty abused don’t they? I honestly don’t know what we can do, the bankers have a darn tight grip on almost every country in the world. I only posted them here because the more people there are, that know the truth about the banking system the better. I think reaching a critical mass in awareness is the key, nothing will change while most people have no clue about the reality we live in.
Ask yourself this though, how come we don’t learn about this in school? Seems like crucial information to me.
You can try passing the video links along to people that you know. Oh and watch this if you haven’t already seen it. quantitative easing explained cartoon
Just watched the first video. Wow. Does our living frugally and not incurring debt help the whole situation? I just don’t see how it can keep going without a huge collapse.
Not incurring debt will help you on a personal level for sure and that’s all any of us really have any control over.
The system does need to collapse, if we carry on this way, with all of our money being issued as debt by private banks, eventually they will own everything. They create the money for the principle that they loan out, but they never create the money to repay the interest.

We need to starve the banks and kill the beast. This system works for the few and not the many. Money was supposed to serve us as a medium of exchange not enslave us.
