Comments on: The Difference Between Budget Living and Being Cheap http://www.pfadvice.com/2013/01/14/the-difference-between-budget-and-cheap/ Bridging the gap between saving money and investing Fri, 24 May 2013 04:51:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Nathalie http://www.pfadvice.com/2013/01/14/the-difference-between-budget-and-cheap/comment-page-1/#comment-1025968 Nathalie Mon, 18 Mar 2013 03:06:29 +0000 http://www.savingadvice.com/articles/?p=13538#comment-1025968 This is an excellent article. I am a young adult dealing with balancing my budget in really struggling and uncertain times. I am already in slight debt back when I lost my job and had to rely on my new credit cards because I don’t have family to help and I am not one to borrow money nor lend from friends. I do my best to budget and am learning to maintain. Not easy, but this article lets me know I am doing okay!

Although one may not be able to wear those clothing for lack of aesthetics, we all should practice recycling accordingly. Until they make donation boxes strictly for ratted clothing and fabrics, it just gives an unemployed individual something to do thus creating a pay job or community service. Either way a total win situation!

They can be recycled into insulation.

Big difference.

My preference is to be called frugal, but damned straight you shouldn’t save money by gaming the system or others. Harm none.

Maybe this is why over half of the people in the United States don’t have a budget set up despite the recession…I think goal setting is a major part of it, because with goals, you are putting money toward specific things.
