Frugality is for everyone. Consumerism is everywhere and this results in loss of personal freedom. More work, more buying, lesser time with family, more credit, more stress and more problems if without a job etc., are some of the vital reason to learn frugality. As Joe Dominguez says in his book: Are we making a living or a dying ?

I once saw a movie I think An Officer and Gentleman, a trainer in the Army is teaching young recruits some basic self defense. One of them is speaking out of turn and the trainer says, do listen and watch carefully as if you are captured, it could be this one kick that saves you from prison camp/torture and allows you to escape to freedom.

In the World of consumerism frugality gives the edge to survive and be happy. Hence, it is very important to learn Frugality.

Still, not convinced ? Look at gas prices.

Last but not least, even if you had a lot of money, most of frugality is very environmentally friendly.
