Defining the Frugal Lifestyle

The new direction of Frugalson.com and what it means for you
I began my adventure when I was just a freshman in college. Not knowing where I wanted to go, but knowing there has to be a secret to getting there. Trying to find the secret is like trying to find a needle in a haystack in the dark and there's several haystacks to choose from.
Ive been spending a lot of time in this dark field and I've come up with some pretty solid explanations of why there is a good reason to keep moving and looking.
Defining the Title
What is frugal? Frugal is making economical choices in the expenditure of resources. Frugality translates to all of life in our finances, well-being, health, and social interactions. We make minor adjustments here and there depending on the situation, hoping for the best. But the best never comes.
We spend so much time letting the problems distract us. All of our problems are on a similar system akin to inflation. We put them away and they feed off each other to create more problems. We have forgotten when the original deposit was made and if it even exists anymore. We have forgotten why we deposited the problem, where it is, and how it came to us.
This lack of focus then requires us to spend more emotional energy on the problems we didn't even know we had! Therefore we must be frugal with our emotions. Quit overspending angry only to have anger returned to you, inflated.
Stop sending sadness and depression to the proverbial bank only to get a big depression filled tax return.
Send daily deposits of happiness so you can get a return of happiness tomorrow when you wake up.
Rack up on positivity points and store them away to get a positive point filled purse at bonus time.
The trick is not to chase wealth, health, and happiness.
The trick is to tell yourself I already am healthy, wealthy, and happy.
Through frugality of your emotions you can do whatever it is you want to.
I'm going to make my dream come true.
