Those words repulsed me. Being thought of as cheap was to me the ultimate insult. I equated frugality with digging through dumpsters in search of food and who knows what else. To me, cheap people skipped out without leaving a tip. They were slovenly in appearance, lacking dignity and self respect. Cheap people were just plain tacky. I couldn't bear the thought of living that way, and to make sure I would never be mistaken for someone who did, I charged my way through life bent on proving to the world (and more likely to myself) that I was not cheap. I accepted the offers of freedom that credit card companies gave to me. It was so simple. I could have a $200 outfit and pay only $10 a month. I could fix up the house, treat the kids, have new clothes, drive nice cars -- just about anything I could think of. And it worked for a while. I know, you're way ahead of me. You know what happened. By the time I came to my senses, I wasn't experiencing freedom at all. It was all a lie. I sold myself into bondage a balance between saving and investing for the future, and having one dollar at a time. If you're feeling a little a fulfilling life now. Why should you live frugally? squeamish about this word frugality, I -- more than any- Because you need to save money to cover what's coming in the one -- understand future; because you need to your fears. I think finance your retirement; I can help you to get because you don't want to over it. work until you're 90. Frugality doesn't mean There are other reasons you have to become besides retirement for livsomeone you aren't. Fruing below your means. gality means doing whatMaybe you have kids headever it takes to spend less ing for college soon. Perthan you earn. Frugality haps you're paying off credis about restraint, disciit-card debt and want to cut pline, finding the best Mary back in other places so that value and not being you have more money each wasteful. It's about makmonth to put toward ing choices and underbecoming debt-free. Any standing that if you say number of reasons can lead yes to one thing, you may you to the conclusion that need to say no to someliving frugally and saving thing else. Frugality is and investing money is an about deciding what really matters and not living to impress intelligent way to live. Take the time now to look at your others. Because we live frugally doesn't life and your expenses. Come up mean we don't spend money. It with a plan, and learn to live below means we spend money thoughtful- your means. If you don't start telling ly and with a sense of discipline and your money where to go, you'll purpose. Frugality is about striking always wonder where it went.

Field Trips ��� Jan. 12, Saturday Second Saturday - Chico Oxidation Ponds Wildlife Sanctuary Trip leaders: Raina King and Steve King. For the January Second Saturday, let���s visit the Oxidation Ponds, at the Waste Water Treatment Plant west of Chico. For waterfowl in the winter, and only 4 miles from Chico, this place is hard to beat. The walk planned around some of the ponds is a little under 2 miles. If you prefer to keep the walk shorter, you can just walk out to the viewing blind, enjoy the birds from the blind and shorten the walk to about a mile round trip by not walking around the ponds. The walk is flat and graveled to the viewing blind. It can be a little muddy in places if it has rained. Most all of our winter waterfowl should be back in the area by November. Let���s meet at the Oxidation Ponds Wildlife Sanctuary at 2 p.m. Walking in the afternoon keeps the sun mostly at our back and the temperatures warmer. We should be back to the parking lot around 5 p.m. To get to there, go west on W. 5th Street from Hwy 32 in Chico. Follow West 5th Street, which becomes Chico River Rd, for 3.9 miles. The wildlife viewing parking area is 300 yards past the main entrance to the water treatment plant, on the left. Bring binoculars, spotting scopes, water, walking shoes and proper clothing for the expected weather conditions. There is a chemical toilet on the way out to the viewing blind. Rain cancels. For information: Steve King at 530-566-6136. All programs and activities are free of cost unless otherwise indicated and are open to the public.
