if you read this article above you will probably smile like i did
im sure there are a lot more ways he is frugal
maybe he could do a warren buffet 101 ways to be frugal

im sure a lot of folks would pay attention

so i looked at my frugal list

we lived in our previous house for 17 years
we have lived in our condo for 5 years

i eat the mind diet 

i drive a 12 year old car that gets 40 mpg
my wife she drives a 5 year old car

my hobby is mainly gardening and i spend money on it but it probably pays for itself

ill pick up friends or family at the airport or my wife she will in her car

i have an iphone 7 and will keep it until it dies

im not sure i have a suit
i know i dont have a tie
when i retired i reverted to jeans and shorts and lots of t shirts
my closet is not crowded

i dont do coupons
i shop frugally 
one way i save is i wont let my wife she shop for groceries

i dont think out of the box to save money
but ive saved money over the years enough to live a comfortable retirement

i value my family over money

it has helped that we have always had a frugal edge to our living which bodes us well in retirement

i do wish he would publish that 101 frugal list

how frugal are you
