Why do you practice it? Working toward a goal? Or why dont you?

    Ill start,

    I practice frugal living because Im trying to save up for a house in a rural place, and prices are skyrocketing (think 400 to 500K Eur or 550K USD)

    I want to give my wife and future kids a healthy place to experience an upbringing without present societal problems.

    My escape plan if it doesnt work out is go back to salaried work and rent a nice house in an eastern european country

    I have zero subscriptions except for a mobile plan for the family and an internet connection, I have the cheapest health insurance and eat mostly chicken and whatever vegetables are on sale. Food is fuel so I dont really mind whats for dinner which saves a whole bunch of money.

    I find that you can have a very comfortable life without actually taking away luxuries like vacations if you dont succumb to daily pleasures like ordering take out or buying streaming crap.
