[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Cracking up that this thread has had 90 posts in less than 24 hours! Yes, so PPs have hit the nail on the head, the things that were bothering me in the article were many, including: The use of the prevailing word "frugal" to describe someone who: Lives in a fairly expensive home Tenleytown Used to live in Italy has undergone a recent home renovation uses an interior decorator orders groceries online has a hobby of growing vegetables chooses not to watch TV bought a $1000 dining table HAS NO RETIREMENT SAVINGS! Also I fault the author for implying that sending your kids to public school and cleaning your own home are extraordinarily frugal and worthy of mention. Glad to know I'm not crazy! I do miss the Washington Post of say, 10 years ago. [/quote]
