I am a frugal person. But I live on a low income, due to not having any talents or passions that would translate to a higher income. On just a bit over $1,000 a month in income, I manage to save almost half. But, that's by cutting back on these "essentials". No insurance. I do live in Canada, so health care is free, although not the dentist. I rent, and don't own a lot (I'm 22).
The biggest problem for me is eating healthy. I budget $200 a month for food, but to cook all my meals and make them taste good and make them healthy, it could cost at least twice that given the food prices here. Such a shame.
It's not surprising why so many people are unhealthy and fat, eating right and exercising requires you have the extra money to buy good food, as well as the time, willpower and energy leftover to cook the food and workout.
