I absolutely agree with that. Who cares that the neighbor just put in a pool and got a new big screen tv. You know what else they have? DEBT! Its not worth it. You will feel better if you save up for that special purchase...It will mean much more and your credit will thank you!

Live below your means....whether you make $40,000 or $100,000...always strive to spend less than you make.

Don't waiste anything.

I buy organic which can be more expensive, but healthier. I justify it by not waisting even a tiny bit. If I have a tiny bit of brocholi left, it will probably go on a leftover half of a baked potato and be called lunch.
