The Frugal Girl

NOVEMBER 27, 2023

I racked up more debt to move to California, then the fancy car turned out to be a lemon, requiring a bunch of expensive repairs. I’m not going to buy them all the things, but I have no idea how to stop them from wanting them (or if that’s even my job as their mom). The hardest is passing that frugal inclination on to my kids.

We were poor, Mom and Dad lived every day showing us what it meant to ‘make it do’ and we often ‘did without’ Here are my thoughts on frugal ways to make things do. Get some shoe polish and shine up those old shoes, take them to a shoe repair shop to have the re-heeled or soled if they are worn down.

In the 1940′s he became a radio repair technician, started his own radio repair service company, went to work for an aircraft manufacturer and eventually ended up working on parts of the space program in the 1960s. He and Mom worked side by side on all of their projects. Gender equality. He figured out land-lording.

Although Mom didn’t sew much (she did mend), she made sure I took Home Ec in high school. Time saved alone is worth the small effort you expend in learning how to make these repairs. Money Saving Mom and Handmade Adelaide Baby both have tips on how to do that. Sewing today has dropped out of main stream life.

When Mom and Dad passed, my Brother inherited the house and all their stuff – which they in turn had inherited from the prior generation. His Mom really, really urged him to take two broken mahogany end tables so he could fix them up. The free item starts a collecting binge. I think certain people have an inherited collecting gene.

So between the breakdown and the pending repair bills they were not the happiest people. They had their car breakdown in the middle of an intersection on a busy, high speed highway.
