Default Re: Frugality is a tough sell

it's very simply the difference between working to "make a living" and working to "maintain a lifestyle".

i work to make a living: covering my necessities now and in the future. so many others work to maintain a lifestyle, and a lifestyle is always 'here and now'. i don't see why you would want to sacrifice your ability to make a living later in order to fund a lifestyle now.
