One of the ladies that is a member at a board I belong to (www.frugal-families.com) was featured. She cut out Air conditioning and began frugal shopping to become a stay at home mom, among other things. I love the frugal lifestyle! My family life seems so much more in control and calm without having to keep up with the world's definition of "rich". Whether or not "frugality" catches on or not I'm in it for the long road because it is what is best for my family, my pocketbook, and my future! I read that issue too!

But the environmental element may make being "frugal" trendier, although of course people were green before 2000. There's also the aversion to living-to-work that Gen X and Y is supposed to have, that Shirley is talking about above. So there's two possible reasons. I think it’s confirmation bias.

Well, I think there is. Some people have a harder time drawing the line. And there’s such a big difference between frugal and cheap. Well, I think there is.

(is that like being hip to be square?) The budget fashionista also has a very nice book, which I reviewed back in June. I highly recommend requesting it from you local library and checking it out. here is the link to my review: http://frugalupstate.blogspot.com/2007/06/book-review-how-to-be-budget.html She was a really nice lady, and if you contacted her she'd probably send you a copy to read and review as well, plus possibly one to give away to a reader, as she did for me.

I think more and more people are realizing that being frugal doesn't mean living in poverty and that people can decide to live frugally by choice, regardless of how much money they have. The mail I get from my readers tells me that more and more people are becoming interested in a simpler lifestyle. So many people "out there" are fed up with the so-called rat race existence.
