Very tricky indeed. <br /><br />But come to think of it, a woman who's naturally pretty don't need all those other things. They can just wear normal clothes, go on without make up and still look good. I think this is the kind of girl I'm looking for! Haha. Don't know whether they exist or not.

Maybe it works.<br />Perhaps you feel attracted to non-frugal women until you realize that their expenses are very high. fashion-conscious women invest in their appearance. This can be very expensive if these women want to have many clothes or jewelry. You have to weigh, what you like more.

But you're the direct opposite of my case. Maybe furgal doesn't attract frugal. I may just find a not frugal girl then influence her later. :pSGYIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09445517891969740960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3276688108456391559.post-1246733033907779972014-11-18T00:02:03.074+08:002014-11-18T00:02:03.074+08:00Hmm … Maybe you're right that you can train yo...Hmm … Maybe you're right that you can train yourself this habit. I believe that my husband has already acquired a bit of my frugality. Before we met he spend his money on nearly everything and was afterwards very angry about poor quality. Now he I thinks hard whether he wants to buy something, or not. He has developed an awareness for quality. So you may be right. <br />But an adoption of a new habit is only possible if the person consciously wants to adopt this habit. The Person has to find a sense of frugality.

A person can consiously take the effort to become frugal but whether it will last will depend on him or her. Education does help if its at a young age. When we're older, we tend to live our ways and its hard to change. <br /><br />I've done the survey. All the best for your thesis!SGYIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09445517891969740960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3276688108456391559.post-11723878581323205272014-11-16T00:34:57.649+08:002014-11-16T00:34:57.649+08:00Hi SGYI,

Such a willingness to help is very rare. <br /><br />I like your point that you think that frugality "has become a lifestyle for them". Do you think that frugality is mediated by education, or rather that it is a setting that you can consciously take? I think, it is mediated by education, because frugality is applied unconsciously onto different life situations. What do you think.<br /><br />And I have another question for you. Would you be so kind and click on the next link? It appears a survey, which I have created. I perform it for my bachelor thesis. It's about blogs on the internet. The survey is short and completely anonymous. Would you do me that favor? <br />Link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1sdMatVGQ369v3WP7SgiMvIrMCfbqzUxTo0lq2kvXL_4/viewform?usp=send_form<br />Regards<br />Wonni<br />Wonnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617818477369715829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3276688108456391559.post-1126328462188245972014-11-13T07:14:21.627+08:002014-11-13T07:14:21.627+08:00Hi Wonni,

I've come to knoe a few rich people personally and I always wondered why they are still frugal even though they are rich. Frugal as in they will still consider the value of the product to the price when they buy stuffs. <br /><br />Then I realised that it has become a lifestyle for them. For example, when they know this product uses cheap materials but it is priced at a very high price, then they don't find it value for money. Another example is if they know a product is sold cheaper elsewhere, then they won't buy this product when its priced more expensive here. Frugality is not about owning all the cheap stuffs. It is about buying quality stuffs at great prices. That is probably how they become successful in business and investing by following the exact same principles. Invest in great businesses at great prices.

A heart of a wife and a mother who cares for her loved ones. <br /><br />Buying something that you'll use often is good. If we can buy it at a good quality but pay lesser for it (ie discount) then it would be value for money. Similiar items at cheaper price. That's what frugal people do :)SGYIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09445517891969740960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3276688108456391559.post-33398547894027922882014-11-12T03:49:19.240+08:002014-11-12T03:49:19.240+08:00Hello SGYI,

From this perspective I have not seen the buying behavior of people. <br />It happens to me very often that I find beautiful things (shoes, clothes, accessories) when I go shopping, but I do not buy them, because I already have something like this or I would not use it very often. In contrast I spend more money for clothes for my son, than for me or for my husband. I think that he usees the clothes, shoes, … better than we can.<br />So I'm not stingy, but frugal. Have I understood it correctly?<br />regards<br />Wonnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617818477369715829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3276688108456391559.post-46203446759981211792014-11-06T18:19:52.787+08:002014-11-06T18:19:52.787+08:00Hi GS,

Things are going too fast now and people want things instantly. The trait of patience is lost in it. I think if we can train our kids to see that they will have more when they delay now, then it helps to build their character better.

The tussle between quality and quantity is an interesting one. <br /><br />My wife and I discussed the topic once and we used the example of socks. <br /><br />If one quality pair of socks costs three times as much but lasts three times as long as an average pair of socks, would you choose to buy one pair of quality socks, or three pairs of average socks, one after another?
