I just love the comments I get like… “Oh wait until you have kids, that budget will go right out the window” or “Just wait until your kids don’t like healthy food”… or the looks & comments I get for being organized, eating healthy, and not getting caught up in consumerism.

I’m not sure why people think my life & choices are any of their business… I don’t even bother explaining why I do what I do these days. They will see through time that my life is much less stressful, and enjoyable because of my choices. I get the last laugh on this one.

It can be hard to be a frugal person in the company of spendthrifts. No one likes to feel like the odd one out. I think it's interesting that people justify their debt or spending habits. I think it's because they know there's a better way, but they aren't doing it. We, too, rent because we want to actually be able to afford a house, rather than try to jump in with a low or no down payment. We, too, share a car because at this point in our lives, we definitely do not need two. Don't worry about the nay-sayers. Just keep on doing what you're doing, and maybe you'll inspire some folks to be more mindful of their money. Kacie’s last blog post..5 steps to having a successful yard sale
