    Default Thrifty and proud of it!

    I've been teased by people (mostly behind my back) about watching my pennies. Funny thing about the people who teased me none of them owned a house and one went bankrupt. Yes, I've even been called Michelle Miser. But really, we should be proud of being thrifty or watching our money. We work hard for it dang it! What happened to the proud pilgrims who admired thrift and hard work?

    So let's shout it from the roof tops! I am thrifty and I am proud!

    I like this quote from the article: There is simply no price you can place on being able to sleep at night. So, the bottom line is that you might not create instant envy and admiration among your friends for living a thrifty lifestyle, but he who laughs last, laughs best.

    She said it!!!!

    Wonderful! I'm proud to be thrifty, too! It takes a special person to be thrifty...You must be willing to go the extra mile...be creative and conserve and care for what you have.
