Re: Best Frugal Advice?
The best frugal advice I can givce to someone who isn't frugal is:
Pay yourself first.
Think of it this way. Your un-frugal friend (I'm assuming its a she) loves to spend money, whether its stuff to please an advertiser or for friends or to impress someone. Isn't your friend important? She should spend money on herself. She should name a savings account after herself, pay herself, and keep paying herself, but don't look at the balance for a few months. After a few months, when she sees her worth rise, she should want to keep that up. Keeping that up means she might be curious on how to increase her payments. When that happens, that's when all this frugal advice will help.
