[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like the constructive thing would be to help her recast her blog. It's interesting and beautifully presented. It's just that with her rising HHI and the expensive house, she's no longer (although she probably once was) in the penny-pinching demographic.  Maybe the blog just needs to evolve a bit, to make it clear that she's targeting the "income under $250K in DC" crowd rather than the shoe-string budget crowd.[/quote]

pp here.  Warren Buffet has a BILLION dollars and people consider him frugal.  But, then again, guys generally don't tear each other down.[/quote]

Does Warren Buffet have a blog on how to live frugally?  No, I don't believe he does.

Gosh, so many of you are missing the problem here.  Is there a lack of critical thinkers on here today (and yesterday)?  [/quote]

Instead of posting a snide remark in retort, I will elaborate...If Frugal Mama has a $2m in family money then perhaps she IS frugal.  Because she doesn't explain her finances, we don't know.  Maybe she doesn't have retirement savings because they are going to inherit gobs of money.  And, for all the people on these boards going into DEBT to pay for private school, I disagree with the pp's who said that public school is a given of frugality.  People of any HHI can be frugal.  If you would like to express your difference in thinking, please do so.[/quote]
