Default Re: Are your friends frugal?

Ha - NONE of my friends are what I'd consider frugal. They smirk at me when I talk about my budget or saving money... and being that I used to be a compulsive shopper, always dressed well (easy to look good when you spend lots of $$$ on new clothes all the time), now I can see it in their eyes (one in particular) that they think "what happened to her?" because I love shopping at Walmart. I don't care though ~ my financial mind matured and theirs hasn't yet. Many also still live at home so they aren't forced to think about certain things yet. One friend does live on her own, but I'd hesitate to call her frugal or anything - she is just making it, and has a good amount of debt. She is counting on an expected inheritance later this year to take care of those problems.
