Default Re: How did you enter the world of frugality

Screaming and kicking, if the truth be known.

Like most of my secular virtues, frugality was thrust upon me by necessity. Only after did it make the transition from necessity to habit, and from habit to hobby.

I was brought up in a frugal household, went hog-wild when I had the chance, and reaped a bitter harvest. That I live frugally today is less a matter of virtue than the product of experience.
