Great post, there is a huge difference between a frugal lifestyle and a cheap bastard. To me being frugal is not doing without but making choices to save in certain areas while putting your cash towards the things that bring real value and meaning into your life. hmmmmmmmmmm would I be a cheap bastard for only spending $230 to $300 a month for food for a family of 5? too bad I am too late for the grocery poll.

If its appropriate, and you get good service, a tip is part of the cost of dining out, in my opinion.

I have tried over and over again to stop spending so much money on junk, but yet i still overspend.Then again, money has to be spent at some point, why have it and not enjoy some of it? Great article,like it. There is a fine line between being frugal and being a cheap bastard.

I was a cheap bastard years ago. It was out of necessity, as I was unemployed, but I still felt like a cheap bastard. I now agree that it's worth it to spend some money on your life experiences/friends. It's a shame to miss out on things because you're too cheap. It doesn't mean you should spend money like crazy just to go with the crowd. I still look for ways to cut costs, but not so much that I regret it later. You just have to weigh the vaue of the time/experience vs. the cost. Good note. I was a cheap bastard years ago. It was out of necessity, as I was unemployed, but I still felt like a cheap bastard.
