“The habit of saving is itself an education; it fosters every virtue, teaches self-denial, cultivates a sense of order, trains forethought, and so broadens the mind.” Munger so aptly puts it, learning how to save money fast is an education in and of itself. Instead, put that leftover cash into your savings accounts.

The Frugal Girl

JANUARY 22, 2024

Back when I was engaged and living on my own for the first time (I lived with my parents while in grad school to save on rent), I went to the library a lot and found a copy of the Tightwad Gazette. We rent now and are much happier. People are surprised that we are in our fifties and renting, but it works for us.

My husband is finishing his Bachelors degree in Management this year as I continue to pursue my degree in Education. Renting, not having super nice furniture or cars, having mismatched dishes and bedding. So we would cook at home and take leftovers for lunch the next day. My husband and I are from Houston, Texas.

Sewing holes in clothes, using up leftovers before they go bad, finding free activities for my little on the weekends, checking buy nothing or marketplace before purchasing- I am always just looking for ways to spend money. Did you ever receive any financial education in school or from your parents? Dinner is dinner!
