Although she claims to be a “broke girl” living in New York City, Stefanie O’Connell, blogger and author of “The Broke and Beautiful Life,” said when she started to make enough money to feel comfortable, frugality became a choice rather than a necessity. With more money, she now has more options.
“Being limited in what you can buy, do, give or experience because of insufficient funds is undeniably frustrating. Money is a tool that can be leveraged to lift those limitations,” she said. “Having that kind of flexibility in my finances, and in my life in general, makes me happy and grateful every day.”
Having money doesn’t mean you can’t make frugal choices in your daily life. From comparison shopping to making your own lunch, opting to be frugal regardless of income means you’ll have more cash for things that matter, such as pursuing a hobby, passion project or when your car inevitably needs to be repaired.
