Frugal Living

>>It’s good for the planet

>>It saves you money

>>It deters burglars
.
If a burglar looks in your window and only sees an old computer with a chunky monitor, a collection of old lounge chairs, none matching, a small TV, and a dinosaur of a fridge, they will be thinking there isn’t much to steal in your place.
.
Poor people, of course, can achieve this look without any special effort, however you can do it too, if you follow the basics of frugal living. Keep on using your appliances until they are really on their last legs. If you need something new, buy recycled whenever possible. Downsize your TV, the ads will look just as pretty, and a small TV is cheaper to run. Downsize your car, and buy second hand, and as well as saving money on the purchase, and the petrol, you will find it slightly less upsetting if it gets scratched by supermarket trolleys. If you live like this, always trying to create less waste, and consume fewer resources, you will save money, and you will feel good about doing your bit for the planet. And as an extra bonus, all these measures mean that your belongings are far less attractive to burglars.
