Apr 12, 2010, My Frugal Living InterviewGood Morning All:
Nicole Plescher of CESI Debt Solutions asked me a few questions regarding how I started out with frugal living. Thought you would enjoy a little insight.
1) What's your "frugality story?" In other words, how and why did you become frugal?
Mine is a simple one. Twenty five years ago while going to a junior college I used credit cards and got in debt for $2000. May not seem like much but debt is debt and it hung over my head each month. I finally got fed up with it, scaled back my spending and paid it off. Have not looked back since.
2) What, if anything, tempts you to overspend, and how do you resist?
A "good deal". Many times after intense bargain hunting and spending I joke that we will go broke tying to save money. To resist this, I have begun thinking to myself, "Is there something I have that can do the same thing as this thing I want to buy?" And the big one, "Do I NEED it?" Works everytime.
3) What personal finance or frugality habits were the hardest for you to adopt and why?
The "Do I need it" explained above. Because I would think, "Hey I have the money ... why not?"
4) Have you ever taken frugality too far? How so?
Well, maybe one thing. At one time, I started separating two-ply toilet paper. Hey, are these answers going public?
5) What resources (blogs, books, websites) would you recommend to someone who's newly frugal?
Any book on saving money. There is always something to learn.
OK, folks that is it. My short frugal living story of how I started out. Apr 8, 2010, Financial Freedom RadioFinancial Freedom Radio -- Podcasts to help you save money, get out of debt, and live.
