It is amazing how many people try to stretch the dollar while they are in business, but won't bring the same skills home in their own finances. Good post.

In fact I wrote a post titled <a href="http://ourfourpenceworth.com/language-lesson-frugality-is-a-virtue/37" title="Frugality is a Virtue" rel="nofollow">Frugality is a Virtue</a> last month which looks at the root of the word "frugal," a descendant of the Latin <i>frugalis</i> which did mean "virtue" or "virtuous" among many other positive things. It seems to me that people of old really did have the right idea and that change really isn't always good. Cheers, Penelope I couldn’t agree more.
