I absolutely agree. Frugality is just a process that lets you enjoy the things you enjoy even more. It’s a good habit to establish when you’re young and keep it going.

Wow, that definitely is a good reason to be frugal. It’s good that you are being frugal and hopefully pass that same trait onto your kids like my parents did with me.

So that my children may be well educated and learn to avoid financial servitude while experiencing greater achievements and happiness than I could ever dream for them.

exactly. it is just a solid life decision. And if you just skimp on things that aren’t important to yo you can splurge on things that are and not hurt yourself financially in the long term.

ok i was going to say…buying from a dealr off ebay, imo, isnt really “buying frmo ebay”

it is when you use and independent seller that i would be suspicious. at least with a dealer if you have direct contact you can negotiate certain things and hold them liable.
