The Frugal Girl
NOVEMBER 27, 2023
We don’t live super frugally, but we do live well within our means and try not to be wasteful with our resources. We bought our house in March 2009, during some of the worst of the recession and the housing bubble bursting. I hope I can teach my kids as well as my parents taught me. Me in one of my money mistakes!

Are we on our way to an actual depression (as opposed to the Great Recession)? If you want to read up on that stuff, plenty of it was written in 2008 and 2009. Occasionally, hubby and I have discussed digging a well, building an outhouse and putting in another wood stove and I have on rare occasion considered buying a generator.

As an adult, I use both cash and credit as well as checks. In 2008-2009 when we had the credit crunch and recession, there was at least one day when stores were not accepting credit. If you didn’t have cash to spend that day, you may well have been stranded out of gas. If I buy anything online, I use credit.

Morningstar holds a huge database of American stocks as well as Canadian stocks. According to the cash flow statement, the operating cash flow has steadily increased each year with just a smaller net income in 2009 and 2010. So I then look at the debt to see if that is the reason they have so much cash through the recession.

We individual investors have all become market skittish since the recent huge recession and economic downturn. I’d rather buy stocks at a lower price and sell them at a higher one if I can. It’s hard for me, emotionally to avoid trying to time the market. So, who do you believe?
