Guy and I were talking the other day and I admitted that I am secretly envious of those people that "live on less." The people that always eat at home, clip coupons and search for bargains and deals before making purchases. As I get older my envy has been making a switch from families with large homes and fancy cars (and lots of credit cards) to the people that are driving their well maintenanced five-year-old car. I want to be like them.
"Oh wow, nice Lexus! Did you pay cash for that? No? Aww, I'm sorry. Take care..."
But that is me! I'm that Lexus driver! (No, I don't drive a Lexus, I'm them in theory.) So I'm scouring to come up with ideas and inspiration to start living on less. Which apparently doesn't mean living worse.
I'm trying to be more frugal and getting rid of things that are not necessary like the junk in our basement (garage sale) and all of the books I don't read (Amazon) and I am THIS close to cancelling cable. Yes, cancelling cable.
So you frugal wives out there - what are your secrets? I read many a blog of women that don't work and I'd love to know how you do it (besides having husband's with a huge income.) I'm excited to become "one of you."
