    Default Then & Now!

    How have you changed over the years? Are you more frugal now or are you the same?

    I used to grab my paycheque and run to the mall. Now, I think hmmm wonder how much I can put away? I better get over to the bank before it's spent!

    What's the old you vs. the new you like?

    I am way more frugal now than I was this time last year.

    NOW I will check my cupboards/closet/with DH if we need or want something, THEN I would have gone out and bought something only to notice that I already had it when I got home.

    I am a total 180 degrees different from my "old" self in more ways that one. I am so much more frugal than I was ten years ago. I like this half better!

    I used to be more frugal & use coupons but since I buy everything online there went the coupons I have still managed to get out of debt & I am still careful how I spend my money.

    Our family has become more frugal over the years. I find myself hunting for bargains, paying bills on time, using free resources, clipping coupons, cooking from scratch, trying to pay down our debt instead of increase it. I even have a savings account now, something I didn't have before!

    I find myself "making do" more these days, with what I already have. It doesn't stop me from going to Target altogether, , but it's a definate change from the way I used to do things!

    I've always had a frugal bone, but have gone through spending phases. I blew through thousands of dollars (hence the big cc) after my divorce, but am back on track now and more frugal then ever!
    I'm 42 yrs old and still mad at myself for blowing all my money when I was 20!
