I didn't mean first class, champagne and fois gras. By comfort I meant a basic level of comfort. So for example I would not reduce my family to cheap frozen ready meals for the sake of frugality. Instead I was advocating a basic level of needs and by comfort I meant a decent standard of living, not an embellished one. Hope that cleared it up, thanks for the comment.Mr. Moneybankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06282110634600238880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7467925624441942509.post-32207466563253643502012-03-26T08:39:49.587+01:002012-03-26T08:39:49.587+01:00Great post explaining frugality, but I'm not s...Great post explaining frugality, but I'm not sure you can say it shouldn't interfere with comfort ever. I think sometimes you need to sacrifice some comfort for the sake of frugality. For example, I would definitely be more comfortable in first class when I fly from the US to Thailand and vice versa. For frugalities sake though I would never pay the insane 1st class prices. Am I uncomfortable flying 20 hours in coach? You bet I am, but the tradeoff in $ versus comfort just isn't worth it.Money Infanthttp://www.moneyinfant.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7467925624441942509.post-16226115195498148612012-03-26T00:17:21.228+01:002012-03-26T00:17:21.228+01:00I think everyone has to decide for themselves what...I think everyone has to decide for themselves what they want to splurge on and where they want to cut back!

It is called "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill.<br /><br />Great post about what frugality means. I, like you, assume all my readers know the term ;) Good point to actually define it in case they do not.Talinehttp://www.findyourcashcow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7467925624441942509.post-87255260182150674782012-03-25T14:44:51.167+01:002012-03-25T14:44:51.167+01:00Rob you are totally right.
