#5 in your 10 Frugal Truths is true and unfortunately out of hand. I swear not a single hour goes by on Christian Radio without a mention of how to save money. I think that Christians (myself being one) have allowed money to become our God. There is just SO much obsession about how to save money. I would say to these folks, ‘Quit worrying about having money for your food and clothes. Will not your father in heaven provide for you?’

I should post a video of me nodding all the way through this post. It was a bit freaky actually, so have you describe me so well.

Cutting back and living more frugally has really been a natural path to wasting less and becoming more conscious of the environment. The two are so intertwined.

TV and coupons are topics that I have posted about. I love the grocery game and have cut down to basic cable. I also think the upfront investing is right up my alley – I am open to spending money and looking at a break even point for saving on expenses, for sure.
