Default Re: How did you get to be so frugal?

My penny-pinching ways developed for 3 reasons:

1. out of necessity (probably the biggest reason.)

2. because that's the way I was raised, and it's part of my temperament/nature (well... I wouldn't really call my parents frugal, but we didn't have a lot of money and had to do without a lot of goodies that others took for granted. It definitely is part of my temperament though.)

3. because I enjoy the challenge (most definitely! It is super-rewarding to find an item you need for cheaper!)
