			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Living cheaply does not mean going without, it means doing more with the resources and assets you have. &#8220;Waste not, want not&#8221; is a trusted proverb for a reason &#8211; it works. I&#8217;m just an old country boy, never been rich but never been poor either. Some folks call me cheap, I prefer frugal. Spending money foolishly is, well, foolish. The old saying, &#8220;A fool and his money are soon parted&#8221; makes me wonder how they ever got together in the first place. I believe in living cheaply, living well. </p>
<p>Spending wisely and saving up for wanted items is not just a good strategy for controlling your personal finances, it&#8217;s a less stressful way to live. Worrying about how you are going to pay for something is harder on you than putting a few pennies away. </p>
<p>If you absolutely positively have to have it there are ways to get it cheaper. You don&#8217;t have to pay a lot to get a lot. You can live better for less. That&#8217;s what this website is about, learning to live cheaply and to live well. I&#8217;m not promoting a get rich quick scheme. I wish I had one I could sell you (it seems those money making opportunities make a lot of cash for the ones selling them) but all I have are some tips and tricks to help your dollar go farther. Ways you can spend less and get more. </p>
<p>Living on less doesn&#8217;t mean having less. Often you can get more by spending less. There are shopping methods, buying tips, when and where to purchase those things you want. Cheaply. I hope to introduce you all of them. </p>
