I seriously doubt that 99.9% of the population would class a mattress of that amount of money as "middle of the range".Originally Posted by Deltaberry View Post
For example, I'd spend $5-6k on a middle of the range mattress because it helps me get a good sleep and I don't want bad posture or back problems when I'm 50.
yeah agree, everyone has their values on their time, the people who are on $2000 per day, arent going to care if they pay $1000 for a $500 heater for example,
it all comes down to perspective and comparison and mindset , im not poor, well not as poor as I used to be,
if I save my $1 per meal, thats only $50 per year, it would take me literally 10 mins on gumtree and time management to save the $50
yet I feel pretty stupid worrying about this $1 at this point in time, sure I did it when I was a student, but I shouldnt be doing it now!!!!!!
my logical side is saying, now you are playing with biggger biccies, worryabout saving $1k there instead of $1 at your meals!!
ooppsss..im just rambling now
Add: another useless ramble, i dont think ive ever bought anything at the cinema candybar,EVER, I always go to the supermarket, and stock up drinks,and candy, for $8, I can get diabetes of which would cost me $20 at the candybar
I personally know a Multi-Millionaire who would put you to shame on the tight a$$ level... hahaha
I know a guy worth $12mil who shares tea bags and won't cook a pie in the oven because it costs too much to heat up

All of this takes time and certain sacrifices (like frugality) but there is also no point in spending 20 years living a tight and miserable life so that 'one day' you will enjoy the fruits of it all. I can promise you there won't be any light at the end of that soul destroying tunnel.
Yeah but I would rather make my own coffee, but not fight over the 50c but shout my friends at dinner!
It's all in the mindset.
Truly frugal people do not think this way.
They don't see anything, that others consider frugal, to be living a tight and miserable life to be enjoyed when they are older.
Being frugal is not about denying yourself. It is finding a way to have what you want, within your budget.
How you deal with it, is up to you.
For example..let's use the good ole coffee debate.
When I worked in a factory, I used to buy my coffee 3x a day, from the vending machine.
It wasn't even good.
One day I got fed up and started to take a thermos, after I figured out what I was spending a year, on something I didn't even like.
BTW each coffee was 65cents...which equalled $468 yr
Yes agreed but in the scheme of things, what's 463$??? Its not going to change your life, if you invested it and doubled your money in three years that's under $1000,
Better then nothing, but hardly life changing
I personally would feel a bit silly actually thinking about it, day in day out for 463 per year
