"I used to think extreme frugality would help me build wealth but it did the opposite, so I made 2 changes to my budget and now I'm saving more than ever"

I am all for building in some fun money and treats. The thing is, what I used to think was a "treat" I now don't (or at least I don't think of them as treats very often!). Crazy, right?

The frugality wasn't the problem, the overspending was the problem. If you need to reward yourself, and want to remain frugal, do so in frugal ways.
