I hate frugality... :)
But by your own admission, you seem to be pretty good at it, @mahgister
;-)
Who else here is frugal?
If I had to describe myself as an audiophile in one word, I'd like it to be frugal. Iconoclast may also be right, but if I'm different it may be due to being frugal. There used to be a TV show called The Frugal Gourmet. To paraphrase him, the food he cooked wasn't necessarily cheap, but he'd get as much value as he could out of what he was doing.
Being an iconoclast doesn't hurt either. Listening for yourself and buying what you like, regardless of what reviewers say and how expensive something is also points us towards this.
What about you? Do you feel better saving money than spending it? Then tell us about yourself. :)

erik_squires OP7I must admit that I am a bit constrained by my lack of fund....If not, I will not be so frugal....I hate to be frugal because it is not my choice....But against bad fortune good heart, I decide to create my audio system at low cost with homemade solutions...I succeed and I love my audio system now...But if I had all money I will do what I do with money, invest it in my passion for books and music and waste a good deal of it probably... What else? I dont like travels, nor money games, I dont enjoy paying women, and I dont like cars …. :) My best wishes for you... |
Yes gaining the most for your money is being frugal.... I am in the obligation to be frugal indeed... But I must say the truth and the truth is I am not virtuous, nor frugal, if I love something I am sometimes a fool....:) The circumstances forced me to be virtuous, thrifty, or frugal....It is a luck for sure because I learned many things that I would have miss otherwise....Thanks to my lack of money for audio....My temperament is not so naturally wise.... :) I am like many people here, if I was able to afford it, I will buy a one million dollar audio system....I am lucky to be relatively poor, I learned much, and I enjoy what I have now and does not suffer from the need to upgrade...It is a luck to enjoy my actual audio system because I would not be able to upgrade anyway....But my passion is very hot, I will give all my money for more …. It is foolish.... But I like to say the truth.... |
