Are you ever afraid that you are to frugal?
Answer:
Usually I just regret not buying it, and then if I'm able to I go out the next day and get it :)
But everyone thinks I'm tight with my money but I just think I'm being wise and not over spending.
Yeah, sometimes. But I think being frugal is way better than spending recklessly!
Try not to be too tight, your poop will come out flat.
I used to, but now if I spot it, I buy it - within reason mind! lol..
All the time, but I tend to go back and buy whatever it was I was resisting in the first place. I'm a bit of a binge shopper but any big buys I tend to think about and then go and do anyway! And then buy shoes to go with it, whatever it might have been.
I am very tight with my money as i am on a fixed income,but no matter how I scrimp & try to save,something always pops up to take any money i have left.
I think i have just about said,"To hell with trying to be frugal!"
I suffer to save & all I do is suffer!
Between gas bills & light bills,only the very rich will have any money at all anyway!
Yes - and it can be a big problem.
I often walk long distances just to save $1.40 on a bus fare. I usually don't buy any fast food because it's expensive.
I just have to keep in mind that a few dollars every now and then isn't going to send me broke
I am always careful with my money. Don't splurge on wasteful things. But if I need something for the family I don't think twice, its only for myself that I am stingy.
Sometimes, ya. But I have derived a mechanism where I ask myself a couple of questions before buying something. I tend to buy the things that I LOVE, that I would love tomorrow & forever, that I WILL use and most importantly; what I afford and need.
To frugal or not to frugal! that is the question...?
Or do you mean 'too frugal,' as in 'too' much?
There is a meaningful difference between 'want' and 'need.'
What I 'need' enables me to continue in whatever I am doing ~ like breathing, working, eating etc. What I 'want' might help me enjoy doing what I 'need' to do in a better, more interesting or more productive way.
So, sometimes I can be frugal with money and spend only what I 'need' to spend. At other times it works the other way.
As to your use of 'tight with money' Your use of that term 'suggests' something ~ when you could have chosen the words 'cautious' or 'careful' instead.!
Sometimes it's that the money itself is 'tight' and I refuse to be seduced by my 'wants.'
Sash.
I am beyond frugal. I am truly a cheapskate.
