[quote=Anonymous]I was a child of divorce and also attended a Presbyterian Church in the SF Bay Area as a kid. The message I got from all of those circumstances is not to spend a lot of money on stuff. I don't think I'm that frugal, but I don't own a car, live in a condo, cook a lot, get my hair cut at Supercuts, cut the kid's hair myself etc. I also like to travel, so I want to save money for that. I do find, however, that there is a definite tradeoff between price and quality for some items, and that finding the sweet spot on that continuum isn't always obvious. You obviously don't want to skimp on dental care, and it's okay to go low end on toilet paper. For other categories (dishwashers, canned food), it isn't obvious which is the best choice without some research, which takes time.[/quote]
