I totally agree. I think that there are people that will always spend money however they want and I’m totally fine with that. I guess it’s just not in me to be frivolous with money. I don’t have a problem with the way people live their lives as long as they don’t file bankruptcy or live off the government. To each their own. And when I go out to eat, I try to go to locally owned restaurants to support those businesses. I feel better about it.

I’m so glad you left the comment that you did. It is always good to have someone else’s perspective, even if it’s different than yours. You can learn something from everyone!

While I certainly approve of thrift, and practice it myself, let’s not forget that a lot of people would lose their jobs if everyone became super-thrifty. For instance, restaurants would go out of business and their employees would lose their jobs if we all cooked every night.

I agree with you that the reason so many people are in crisis is that they overextend themselves. I read on another blog (and I wish I could remember which one) that the recession might actually be good, because it will force people to take a hard look at their spending habits. Sometimes people have to hurt to make a change for the better.

You’ve already read some of the things I’m doing. I just came in from watering my freshly planted garden. I can’t wait to eat my inexpensive, organic produce this summer! I’m getting back to the basics.

Thanks for the link! Now I need to go check out your bread recipe!
