This week’s Festival of Frugality was hosted by Living Almost Large. It is a clever edition with inclusion of some celebrities who are notably frugal. Some of my favorite frugal stories this week include:
I’ve had a fascination with Tumbleweed Houses ever since I first learned about them, and love hearing stories about people living in tiny spaces.
A good reminder to keep an open mind and keep looking for cheaper but acceptable solutions.
I love stories like this. It gives me hope that living beneath our means will become mainstream someday.
And my story, Can I Still Fit in If I’m Frugal?, was included in the festival.
The Carnival of Personal Finance was hosted this week by The Personal Financier. How many of the “Famous Last Sentences” have you heard? I found myself nodding as I read through them! Some of the particularly good articles this week included:
An excellent list of things we are eligible for or can start doing at various ages. Take notes as you read this one!
Particularly good as it mentions areas we may not examine as often when looking for unnecessary expenses and lost possibilities for discounts and rewards.
I am happy to say that my article, Forget About Doing what You Love, was included in the carnival.
A tremendous amount of work goes into putting these carnivals and festivals together; many thanks to The Personal Financier and Living Almost Large for jobs well done!
