We see living frugally as a means to achieving our goals not as a way of sacrifice. We use our money for ways that make or will make us happy.
We both love travel so even though we are on a strict budget we still allow ourselves a travel budget. Bf loves golf, so every year his golf fees of £500 come out of his annual bonus. He tries to play at least once a week to get value for money. I love buying books and magazines. I could spend hours in book stores however I generally buy books from Amazon and get my magazines on subscription as this is much cheaper.
Every now and then I’d like to have a good spending blow out but I don’t, bf keeps me on the straight and narrow. Working together towards the same goal is what keeps us going.
