One can opt for frugal living tips from the people who survived the great depression era. They were making use of everything without wasting anything. They realized the value of every single drop and pinch.
24. Riding a BICYCLE and WALKING more often is good for your POCKET also for your health
I’ve seen that people even take loans just to buy a car or bike. I can say that not taking loans is also a part of frugal living. So do not fall for car loans or vehicle loans.
