My wife is rather frugal. Actually she is very very frugal and would probably get annoyed that I used this long sentence to say that she is frugal.
This probably came about because of our history coming from very modest families. I being from Kenya only found out how important shoes were in high school. She being from Mexico probably had a tougher time than us. Probably because they could see american TV. I couldn’t so I didn’t care much about something I never knew about.
It’s a good tale to tell but not to our kids. Entitled may be the word that best describes these young kids of this age. You should see how they look when we have to go buy wholesale clothing. They would prefer mall clothes but I think it is fair that they pay that for themselves.
why pretend we can afford buying stuff that will only lead us to debt?
