- Frugality allows you to discover what you truly value ( i.e. if frugality keeps you from what you love it’s cheapness)
- Frugality is good for the environment (i.e. you can’t buy your way to green)
- Frugality refines your taste and style (i.e. you can have better things when you buy used and you’ll eventually stop buying those souvenir t-shirts you’ll never wear)
- Frugality allows you more time to increase your income (i.e. the best way to not spend money is to spend time making it!)
- Frugality will not make you rich (i.e. sorry, not sorry)
