Yes, I am very frugal. I only buy what I need and if it is something that needs to last a while, I buy the best quality I can afford.
We don't pay someone to do something we can do ourselves. My DH is very handy and does all the work on our cars, TV's and boats. We don't paymmechanics.
We do our own painting and our own cleaning, car washing, dog washing, etc.
we don't own a new car, but we own three of them. Both of our RV's were purchased brand new. We take care of everyone we have, so we don't have to replace things often.
People are often surprised when we tell them what year our boats, RV's and cars are. They look brand new, but they are not.
We don't go out to eat often, but we are sea food people and spend a good amount of money to get the good stuff. We buy steaks and other quality expensive food.
We take a lot of vacations and always have, though we don't stay in 5 Star places.
I buy good clothing, but not much of it...anymore. I used to buy too much.
i buy good fitting, expensive shoes, but they last.
For me, frugal means spending money wisely and not wasting it.
