[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was raised very frugally, and it's been breaking some of those small frugal habits that have been the biggest change.  For example, I live in the city and don't blink at paying for parking like I would when I was broke in my 20s/30s.

I also grocery shopped exclusively from the sales and meal planned based on what was on sale.  I still buy mostly sale items, and will buy marked down meat to freeze, but won't pass something up if we want it and it's not on sale.

I think upgrading and modernizing is a good way to be more intentional.  We live in an old house with terrible water pressure - but guess what, replacing the showerhead showed maybe you should change it before 25 years.  Upgrading TVs, furnitiure, rugs, etc to have. a home that's comfortable can make such a difference.  When's the last time you bought new towels, or even bathrugs - just something new and fresh.

I am so similar to you, PP, and really appreciate this post. I will be buying nice new towels this weekend![/quote]
