Many Mainers are proud of their reputation of being frugal and thrifty.
Maine, let’s establish right from the get go that frugal is not the same as, interchangeable with cheap. One major distinction, difference. Frugal is an “easy does it”, slow as you go life pace. That drives some nuts. Causes still others to purr, be filled with a self satisfying content, peaceful inner feeling.
Frugal, a consistent, creative way to what some term “live in gentile poverty”.
Cheap is an ugly maneuver that gives no credit to the finesse of haggling. Or how charitable you are when opening up the wallet to help others with the savings you landed in your everyday spending, living.
If you did not have to work for all the dead presidents you store away for a rainy day in your wallet or purse, the art of being frugal can lose its luster, appeal. Why bother if you have an endless supply of the green stuff? Or have no expenses around you needing a check written to cover them month to month.
Frugal as an art form survival tool adopted, put in to play by play, day to day is easy if raised on a Maine farm. [meinmaine.com/2012/01/15/maine-frugal-saving-a-buck-is-a-...]
