being frugal is ok but not the extent nga dili ka mag enjoy ug gamayng luxury kay faet man sad sige ka work and not rewarding yourself. mag sige kag ginamos ug buwad, ang ending, kidney disease, malnutrition, doctor ug hospital ang madatu. i dont buy things i dont need. dili ko into branded things, pero ug naay mo sponsor, why not, dili bitaw na from my pocket. when it comes to food, kana wala jud mi tihik2 esp kung nutritious foods. ako jud ang mangumpra on a weekly basis kay naa man koy routine daily nga carrot juice, apple,cucumber ug oranges. mga bata pud, dili ko gusto mag uga lang sila kay walay maau nga nutrition. besides, dili mana nato madala ang kuarta sa atong lubnganan. kaluoy sa Ginoo, i have 3 houses na karon, have a stable job, enjoying a bit pero dili waldas

Was i happy to find a copy of "Your Money of Your Life" at La Belle Aurore! It's a classic on frugality/downscaling.

My parents are not that frugal jud. But comparison between my mom and dad, mas frugal si mama. Pero di man jud sila tamtong frugal, they still give us enjoyment sa life and malingaw sila na ma-happy mi.

Ang frugal kay kaming mga anak nuon, hatagan mig dako2x na money, dli namu dawaton ang full, ngano sad kaha na maikog mi sa ako parents. Amo pa iuli ang sukli kung suguon.

Mas maayu kanang parents jud na maau muhandle sa money, naay enjoyment, savings and etc. Unsaon man ta ng frugal nya wa malipay iyang anak. What's the purpose?

^being frugal doesn't mean being unhappy. in fact, frugality is getting the most joy out of life.

one can have new clothes every week but still not feel satisfied. another can have well-worn clothes but happy.

We only have 1 child because we want to give him a good future. We don't spend more than what we earn.
I see to it there is some money that goes into the bank every payday. Save for the rainy days so to speak..
Discipline is the name of the game for us.

tihik jud ko. siguro sa upbringing ni namo. but i don't feel deprived. i still travel for leisure atleast once a year (philippines or asean). i also do tithing monthly thru my world vision sponsorships. i sponsor 5 kids now. i was able to save in 3 years to construct a small house for rent. in cash. now i'm paying off a car loan, give to my mother monthly share of household expenses, have emergency funds and some investment for future use. dili dako akong sweldo. the secret i think is living below your means, DAILY. i don't buy the latest gadget craze. My clothes, shoes and bags are used until they're not presentable anymore. Eat out twice a month only but i buy whatever i want to eat sa grocery or tiange. seldom go to malls. there's cable, internet and books in our house. so why go out unless to meet friends or buy some necessary thing?
