Being a vegetarian, my choices on a menu were quite limited. Therefore, we ended up having almost the same stuff every time we dined out as a family. We realized that soon and now its more fun to eat at home. Either-ways, I feel that dining out is for the ‘experience’ than the food itself. And any ‘experience’ loses its luster if it becomes all too frequent. Rare pleasures are meant to be just that -rare.

I totally agree! Finding a great deal, a bargain is really exciting! And then, paying in cash makes you really aware of how much you spend!

This is a great article! Eating out is the big money sink…LEARN TO COOK folks. Everyone can do it, we’ve been doing it for 30,000 years. No excuses. (And guys, learning to cook will get you more attention from the ladies then a fancy car ever can. You can’t eat a Mercedes.)

Great post! Since short I forced myself into a weird budget. There is no budget involved actually. It works like this: I try to spend nothing and repeat this every day. If something isn't necessary right at this moment I won't buy it. I try to keep my money. It's just easy as that. If I see a book that I want, for example, I do the following: even if I have the money, I decide to buy it from new money. So without spending the money I already have. This sounds weird but it gives me the feeling that I earned the book, that I saved money for it. If you remember a time were you save your allowances for something special, you know the special feeling you have for it. You enjoy it more and you take more care of it. This is the feeling I have now when I decide to buy something from the money I don't already have. It's buy the way a good to let the habit go to buy something what you don't need just to impress people who you don't even like. Once you see how ridiculous this is, you can immediately save a big amount of money. Once you made a habit of letting things go you will see how it enriches your life. Who do you think is the richer person? The millionaire who is lying awake in bed, staring at the ceiling and thinking if tomorrow is the day where he loses it all or the guy who sleeps well and looks forward to a new happy day, even though his bank statement declares him poor? Think about it. The more I let go the freer I feel. Many may think different, but most of the time I consider myself one of the richest people on this planets surface. Even without brand clothes and shoes. Have a nice day and keep up the good work, Jeff. Mario Read Mario´s latest article - Are You Owning Your Things Or Are They Owning You?

Thank you promoting living on a budget. I have done all of my life and have taught my children to do the same. To me, a budget is not a restraint, but real freedom to know what I CAN afford.

Two more years and my home will be paid for in full. It will take me a total of seven years to do it, but it will be well worth it.

My neighbors think I’m ‘rich’, far from it, I just know my income and live well below it. Easy. I cannot understand why I cannot convert more to the budget or spending plan way of life, but some folks just like being broke. That I will never understand.
