Who else here is frugal?

If frugality is a consequence of wise choices, this is good... If frugality is a goal I dont think so...

What is good to cultivate is the art of wise choices, frugal or not....What is a wise choice for a passionate man does not always appear frugal to his friend...Passion or love must superseded frugality in some way or another in life...


And yes many are frugal without being cheap, but it is better to be not frugal in ALL aspect of life, and that has motivated my rant about the word... My best to you ...

I apologize for these many words of mine and sometimes yes we must perhaps be frugal with words... :)

@magister I believe you will make an excellent saint....

was Mahler frugal in his joy, pain or suffering? I think not

"If I can add something, i truly respect all people, frugal or not, i hate only the word because the act appear to me, more often than not, like an obsession without love..."

Yes, that is what I took you to mean. 

To remember to be more liberal with the love for my passions and less so with whatever real-world circumstances that may act at times to limit my embrace of them - that's perhaps all I really need. What good is slavish devotion to a distant goal if it only serves to crush the love of our passions into the dirt in the meantime. Especially when it need not be so.

"Know yourself and be it to the end, passionately …"

Amen to that.

wolfie62,

It does not seem you are frugal at all. Housing so many items is luxury at its best.

@audiozen.... *S*  Thank You.  I do try to be straightforward and honest in my own 'bent' sort of way. ;)  And I appreciate your comments on 'sounding like we're in similar places'....

Except my 'day job' is spending other people's $ on making 'things' for their children, grandkids...and those of total strangers that I will never meet.  Some are moved to F'book us to tell us that what we do creates smiles and enjoyment for both their kids and them.

THAT...makes my RT work the best employment I've ever had and likely will. *VBS*

Night 'work' is 'recoup' time, and spending some on my 'take' on audio and the pursuit of 'that which intrigues'.  It's very '180 out' on the daytime activities, but both require a 'stretch' that helps to keep the wetware from becoming cold oatmeal.... ;)

I'm 'frugal' in the sense of putting $'s where I can 'follow my muse', entertain a notion, and/or just improve on what's caught my curiosity for the past decade (or 2, at this point...).  It's an obscure corner of 'audioism', to be sure....

But...it keeps me out of bars, and only gets me in trouble with the spouse periodically. *L*

And I get to 'chat up' with y'all at times. *S*

...and sometimes Just Watch as the periodic 'Topic That Should Not Be Brought Up' heads off into 'Multi-Page Heights' without a road map....*L*

Now...That's Entertainment! *LOL* ;)
