Our Frugal Lifestyle

My photo
Passionate about eco-frugality. I used to party hard, clubbing my way from pay-packet to pay-packet. Never getting ahead, just getting by. Then came our much wanted baby with no savings in the bank - only an old car. Changes were made to our lifestyle and we didn't turn back. In the past 6yrs we purchased a flat, found employment, lived below our means, built an emergency fund, purchased a reliable car and saw the financial benefits of our frugal lifestyle. Our only debt is our mortgage. Our aim is to manage our cash flow wisely, pay off our home quickly and eventually work for pleasure, not necessity. Join us on our journey, share insights, tips and tricks to help us and others to get ahead while having a good time.

The Simple Things

For breakfast toast with Rosella Jam homemade by my friend Kellie. Dolly and I enjoy this so much. Sweet with tang. I love the simple things. Local produce and homemade.




Have you received any lovely homemade goodies from friends lately?

    My mother-in-law gave me some homemade chutney in my Christmas hamper but not opened it yet. I still have half a jar of my homemade chutney to use up first. I too love homemade goodies and I know they have no nasty chemicals and rubbish in them.
