When it comes to money, what are you NOT frugal about?

Coffee, travel, care of pets, eating out, and gifts for friends and loved ones.

I'm always looking for the biggest bang for the buck as some say. Money is tight and we are in an inflationary period, and the dollar isn't worth much like it was ....

I'm not frugal, but I'm cautious with what i spend....

@masterofyou Sadly these last four years have not been kind. My wife and I are now forced to be more frugal too. ☹

@Musicman no they haven't especially if you had money in Silicon Valley Bank....Yes if you had 250 k or less you got your money back but if you had much more you lost it.... put your money in precious metals....

@masterofyou I thought Joey said on TV that he didn't care about the $250k limit. He was going to make everyone right on tax payers dollars. Did you lose money in those banks?

@Musicman Obama; Joey, screwed this country promoting the Green new Deal mostly why the SVB went in default let's say you had 8 million in an account SVB you only got 250 back... not a very good return.....

@masterofyou Definitely not. Our cash got wiped out and now we are having to sell one of our rental properties. 😥

Most of this Green New Deal is just another bad investment the government got us into.... Actually i think it's a total scam @Musicman

@Musicman i see these stories all the time

@masterofyou I completely agree with you. I remember all that money Obama put into going green. At the end of his presidency the company was out of business and there was nothing to show for it.

@masterofyou I'm sorry you lost money in SVB. That affected so many. With the state of affairs in this county, and where they look like they're going, I think most of us are more frugal as a whole.

@LadyBronte I never lost any money in any bank.... I just know many have ..... I think everyone should put atleast 10 % of their money in gold.... I believe the Fed knows more than they say in their ecomnomic report when they lowered rates 50 basis points...I think we are heading into a resession.....
