Calendar Frugality.It'sa word that, for many people, screams de- privation and even poverty. I get let- ters from read- ers who say they've had it with trying to live below their means and never having anything they love. "What's the point if all of this deprivation if it just makes me feel even more miserable?" was the way one woman closed her let- ter. Look, I can't know your particular situation. But I do know this: If you ad- just your attitude, get a plan and then let nothing stop you from reaching it, you can have the things you love. Frugality isn't just about cutting costs. There has to be a specific reason in- volved. And it can't be something neb- ulous like "Because I want to be rich." Frugality is about scrimping and cut- ting like crazy on the things you re- ally don't care about so that you can have the things you love. It's a matter of decid- ing what's really impor- tant and what's not -- and I mean on a daily basis, and as a way of life. You have to get out of your "coma spending" and into con- scious spending where ev- ery expenditure counts and every dollar matters. I could give you all kinds of examples of how this might work, but let's take something as simple as pa- per towels. A couple of rolls tucked in with the weekly groceries may not seem like such a big deal. And they are convenient. But do you really love pa- per towels? Enough to sac- rifice things that you really do love in order to have that roll of paper always at the ready? I sure don't. Experts say the aver- age household uses 1.5 to 2 rolls of paper towels per week. At a going rate of about two bucks a roll that's more than $200 a year. Since I don't love pa- per towels, that's $200 I can divert to something that I do love or cannot live without. Now multiply this principle across paper napkins, paper plates, pa- per cups and plastic uten- sils and we're talking a lot of money I choose to not spend on these things that I neither love nor need. SET A GOAL. No mat- ter how frivolous, you need a goal that is going to make your tradeoffs worthwhile. Giving up paper towels might be a pain for a while, but if your goal is so much more glorious, it won't be difficult because you will know that you are working toward something specific -- something you love. CREATE AN AC- COUNT. This is manda- tory. I suggest setting up an online savings account at Ally.com or Capital- One360.com because that just makes saving money brainlessly easy. Now you can transfer any amount any time into your goal ac- count. Saving with a goal puts all of your decisions into perspective. It makes cut- ting costs mercilessly on things that don't matter worth the effort because in so doing, you're affirming and moving toward hav- ing the things you love.
