[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Me, me and me.

Grew up poor.

The only splurge is those private ski instructors for the kids.

[b]No fancy restaurants, not even for celebrations. No interest.[/b] No expensive clothing.

Cars we keep them.

House nothing fancy, we do own more than one. For investments.

This kind of logic, if you can call it that, always puzzles me.  It boils down to, "I don't spend money on things that don't interest me."  Well, no kidding. This isn't an example of frugality, it's an example of sanity.  I don't like the opera, or the ballet.  No interest in going.  How ridiculous would it be for me to say that I am frugal because I don't spend $1000 on an evening at the opera?  Pretty ridiculous.

Frugality, or not splurging, is controlling your spending by pulling back on necessities, or things you like but decide are too expensive.  It isn't patting yourself on the back that ou don't spend money on things you don't like anyway.  [/quote]
