This I've written about many times previously...Mum worked, as did our Nana...both women did their best to make sure Graham and I had good food on the table at all times; clean, tidy clothes on our backs, and shoes on our feet. We never missed a Saturday afternoon matinee...or the circus when they came to town..or the travelling vaudeville shows and pantomimes etc., etc. et al.<br /><br />These days, I live a simple, humble existence...I don't have a lot of money...I don't own my own home...I rent a very humble, small abode...but...many are much, much worse off than I am. <br /><br /> My two furry mates and I go without little...we don't need much, though. I don't need a fancy big house or a fancy big car...and I have enough clothes, and some that would match it with the best...if I was so inclined...and I am not! :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-45184420036427665462018-11-29T00:10:19.352+00:002018-11-29T00:10:19.352+00:00I'm working at being more frugal and less wast...I'm working at being more frugal and less wasteful.

My parents and grandparents lived through the depression so I grew up automatically being frugal. We are not wealthy by any means as we live off a small amount of Social Security (old age pension here). But I have always managed our money carefully both when we were working and now and we made sure our house was paid off before we retired. We have decent emergency savings and live comfortably paying any bills off each month. Even if we were wealthy I do not think we would live much differently. I still use and love a toaster I bought over 46 years ago! (of course a new one would not last that long!) I do not believe in waste.<br /><br />I don't understand how many of my children's generation did not pick up the thrifty ways that so many of us hang on to. You often see terrible waste from some and I don't understand it. However, I have a 22 year old granddaughter that is very concerned about our planet and reducing the landfills and she will use nothing disposable and go out of her way to be frugal. Is it just different people or different generations?
