Save Money
Living frugally means living responsibly while keeping an eye on where your dollars and cents flow. It does not mean, however, living impoverished or stingy, although it can mean to "live below your means". Regardless of how intent and careful you are with your finances, you are bound to come across some big ticket items which for whatever reasons cannot be avoided. For some this may be a car, for others, a family home.
