In this episode Iām joined by Brian from The Frugal Spender to discuss the difference between being frugal, being cheap and being tight.
We went through what these terms actually mean. All of them have some negative connotations, but being frugal is: using your resources in the most efficient way possible to maximise your personal benefit. This sounds pretty good and what we want to aim for, as opposed to being cheap/tight.
We also went through a number of actionable ways to be frugal and become more frugal over time. Some ideas are not buying stuff you don't need and only buying things you value, buying things second hand (I recently bought a 2nd hand backpack for travelling Thailand), shopping around for the best deals (like insurance and phone contracts), and so on. We discuss a lot more in the podcast.
