[Frugal Father (tm)]

We live in a condo, paid a small amount at far as NYC goes. Medical issues of respitory and arthritis led us to a condo (no outside upkeep) but it also enables us to do things. I paint -acrylic on canvas..if my wife likes something she sees I'll approximate it or do something similar (avoiding copywright issues of course), we craft together, sometimes make gifts (with our tween), the frugal things we do enable us to do the things we love or buy. My wife is a gourmet cook ( who needs restuarants?) I am the short order cook we get the best of both worlds. This enables us to go to the art exibits or museums that have a charge. We travel locally NYC tristate/PhillY region and we love that....its all relative I think as long as the good efforts outway the overspending.
