Default Re: How many americans are frugal

I am far from perfect, but I pay my bills on time, and nothing gets shut off..so when one of my friends comes wanting to know if I can help with her phone bill that just got shut off...I so want to say 'nope, you got it shut off so suffer, and enjoy the savings for a bit!'

I don't have a home phone, I do have a cell though, I don't have a lot of things cause Iw ant to be able to A. pay the bills, and B. eat out once in awhile (or whatever splurge) I can't see taking dollars a day to waste on something (like TV, though for somethat is their splurge) when I could save it up and use it for the renfest, or fried chicken when I am really in the mood (and I avoid it when not, sorry no I can't cook it, I can barely boil water here)
