It's Not Cool to be Frugal...

AT least for me. The word frugal implies being a miser. I prefer a better term: economical. IT implies wise use of finances while beign well off.

Btw, my purpose for writing this short post is to share a cool term I found from Investopedia...term of the day

Frugalista

What Does it Mean?
People who keep up with fashion trends without spending a lot of money. Frugalistas stay fashionable by shopping through alternative outlets, such as online auctions, secondhand stores and classified ads. They also reduce the amount of money spent in other areas of their lives, such as by growing their own food and reducing entertainment expenses. This is a popular term during recessions.
