We shopped at garage sales, turned down the heat, combined errands to use less gas, didn’t buy a lot of prepared food, cooked at home and the like. I cut the family’s hair. Me: What kinds of frugality did you practice while you were earning your millions? We changed our own oil and rotated our own tires.
