The word "frugality" has left a more negative connotation for most people than simply being an economiser, a sham or a sham. There is a difference of thin line in the savings and too frugal to the point of being awkward and ridiculous. From this comes the negative connotation.
But if you guide you to the principles and right to choose to live a frugal reasons for life, you will never go wrong.
If you have decided to live frugally, no need to be concerned about insults. Keep your head up. And keep your attention through these tips.
1. Dining - Having gimmicks with friends on a Friday night is fine if you do it from time to time. But this can be expensive if you add them at the end of the month. Remember, good budgeting is always important.
2. Clothes - Of course, if you are the kind of person who loves signature clothes and designer, do not expect that there will be something left of their household paycheck. Instead of being fashionable, wear clothes that can be easily combined with other clothing.
3. Own house - If you plan to move and find a place to install, do not get overwhelmed by emotion rather than practical. For starters, buy a smaller home or try other means such as rental-own, do-it-yourself arrangements, and owner financing.
4. Buy your own car - Shy away from cars or sports SUVs. Just stick to your goal of buying a car that is transporting wherever you need to go. Also check out the warranty program cars as a new car. Perhaps this is not only the best time to replace your car with a new one.
5. Grocery Shopping - As far as possible not to go with marked items. Choose no brand and try to find items on the highest shelves or the lowest for the best prices. Take advantage of the opportunity and shop during the sales or use coupons.
6. Family Out - There are inexpensive ways to bond with your family and entertain yourself like going to libraries, local parks, malling, picnics, visiting friends and the local church.
7. School Supplies - Buy the school supplies supplies at home and do not buy anything fancy.
8. Be happy with what you have and try to live within what you earn.
9. Plan your child's college education (a) - teach them to be independent and self-reliant by encouraging them to apply for scholarships and "work on campus."
10. Be aware of your financial limitations
11. Anticipate planning failures - always has a budget plan to avoid buying impulse.
