A recent Time Magazine cover
story, “The New Frugality,”
suggests the recession has
changed our perspective – not just
for the short term, but for the long
term. Suddenly, Americans are
saving again. We’re eating at
home with our families more.
We’re being more thoughtful about
how we spend. In the process, we
have a chance to change bad
financial habits and to reconnect
with the people and things that
matter. Depending on how you
approach it, a setback can leave
you better – or it can leave you
bitter.

frugal
characterized by or reflecting economy in the use of resources.
frugality
acquiring goods and services in a restrained manner, and
resourcefully using already owned economic goods and services,
to achieve a longer term goal.
