#36 - The Difference Between Being Frugal & Being Cheap

We all need some amount of money, that's a fact. How we spend that money is vastly different.

I would classify myself as a frugal person: someone that spends money on the things that add value to my life, and saving money on the things that don't matter as much.

In this episode, I'll dig into the difference between being frugal and being a cheapskate. We all love saving money, but there are times when it makes sense to spend. Enjoy!

Best quotes from this episode If you need a machine and don't buy it, then you will ultimately find that you have paid for it and you don't have it. -Henry Ford Cheap and frugal people both love to save money, but frugal people will not do so at the expense of others. Frugality is about assessing the bigger picture and having the patience to cash in on the simple savings strategies. Being cheap is about spending less; being frugal is about prioritizing your spending so that you can have more of the things you really care about. You don't need the best of everything to get started. Stop being a cheapskate on the things that matter to you. Thanks for listening
