Back On The Frugal Bandwagon

May 20th, 2009 | Posted in Personal Finance, Personal thoughts, Saving Money

Welcome back!

Like many things frugal living is all about building habits and sticking with them. Once you have formed the habit of making frugal choices it becomes very natural to save money and really just a routine part of life. Unfortunately, I think we all fall off the frugal bandwagon from time to time, and it can be hard to snap right back into the habit of making money-wise choices. Especially if we let is slide for a few weeks, or even for a few months. Then we have replaced our frugal habits with non frugal habits, and those can be difficult to break!

I hate to admit it, but I haven’t been at my frugalist lately, and while I haven’t been spending wildly, or anything of that nature, I haven’t been saving the amount of money that I would like to.

Anyhow, I am now back on the frugal bandwagon and plan to start back again with a bang — 15 “no spend days”. What I mean by that is I won’t be spending money on anything but essential items until at least the end of the month. No Starbucks, no take out and no clothes (I have enough at home). It doesn’t seem like a very long time, but fifteen frugal days can leave a back account looking significantly healthier!
