[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you going to just swim through your gold coins like Scrooge Mcduck? I mean, I get it, prices are very inflated. But making yourself into a miser as a one person protest isn’t going to change that. It’s just going to isolate you, make you grumpy and cause you to miss out on cool things in the prime of your life. [/quote] Frugality is liberating. It speeds up your path to financial independence, it allows you to unchain yourself from consumerism, and to spend more time on productive activities that are free or cheap. [/quote] Not one mention of fun anywhere in there. [/quote] Can you seriously not find any "fun activities" that are free or cheap in your area? I live in a very beautiful area. We don't belong to a gym, because we prefer to walk and be outside with nature. Within a 30-45 min drive, I can get to 25+ awesome hikes of varying levels. We have friends over to our home and just "be together" and enjoy each other's company. Typically we cook (and wine, there is always win) and make a day of it. So beyond the cost of food and drinks (which we were having anyhow if it was just the 2 of us---everyone brings ingredients for their dishes and we cook at home), it's free fun. [/quote]
