Who else here is frugal?

If I had to describe myself as an audiophile in one word, I'd like it to be frugal. Iconoclast may also be right, but if I'm different it may be due to being frugal.  There used to be a TV show called The Frugal Gourmet. To paraphrase him, the food he cooked wasn't necessarily cheap, but he'd get as much value as he could out of what he was doing.


Being an iconoclast doesn't hurt either. Listening for yourself and buying what you like, regardless of what reviewers say and how expensive something is also points us towards this.


What about you? Do you feel better saving money than spending it? Then tell us about yourself. :)

"If I can add something, i truly respect all people, frugal or not, i hate only the word because the act appear to me, more often than not, like an obsession without love..."

Yes, that is what I took you to mean. 

To remember to be more liberal with the love for my passions and less so with whatever real-world circumstances that may act at times to limit my embrace of them - that's perhaps all I really need. What good is slavish devotion to a distant goal if it only serves to crush the love of our passions into the dirt in the meantime. Especially when it need not be so.

"Know yourself and be it to the end, passionately …"

Amen to that.
