Ultimate point: you shouldn't judge the benefits of a frugal lifestyle by how much you've accumulated compared to your non-frugal friends. If you do, chances are you'll always feel cheated. And you'll be missing the point.
I've heard of people who receive government or church financial assistance that go out and purchase a new snowmobile or a new $30k+ vehicle. Why should my tax dollars or charitable donations financially support someone who hasn't learned to live within their own means. All of us should be frugal within our own financial realm. I would rather give $100 to Bill Gates (who lives well below his means, than someone who makes $10 per hour but is trying to live like they make $15 per hour. Instead of pretending to be rich, get off your seat and make yourself rich instead. I have no respect for posers.
We are a soft people with a strong sense of entitlement. Scary!
I wonder how many of today's families would be able to adapt to depression living.
