Is frugal living just for the poor?

Frugal living is for people who need to save money, who have no money to spare etc. Honestly, I don't think that people who claim that frugality is just for that have really understood what it is about. You can be really rich, shopping only at the most expensive shops and still live frugally.

Frugal actually means being economical, avoiding waste and/or unnecessary expenditure - this can be money or anything else which you use/consume, that could be goods or time. But it is also the resourcefully of using up things you already own. Anyone can do that. From the ones that don't know how to finish the month to multi-billionaires.

On a more personal note, I don't think that living in a way where I don't waste food is being cheap. There are so many people who go hungry to bed, and I am not talking about far away countries, but here in our own country. So, think twice about buying too much food that you just will be throwing away. Rather take the money that you would waste otherwise and give it to a good cause.
