  I don&apos;t care about keeping up with the Jones. I just want to keep my lights on.

  “The only flex that matters is the ability to say no to anything that does not serve you.” Really well put! Thank you!

  I gave up stopping at the coffee shop on the way to work and make it at home. I decided to continue to wake up at the same time and take the 20 minutes to sit and read before work instead. It is a much better start to my day.

  Hubby and I like to look poor. It’s fun. The only 2 things are don’t rip ppl off and be generous anonymously.

  You&apos;re speaking my language, girl. &nbsp;We went into retirement debt free. &nbsp;Raised two kids and homeschooled on one income. &nbsp;There&apos;s so much peace these days in what we did.

  I think it&apos;s important to save for the future but also love now. You aren&apos;t promised tomorrow. I&apos;ve heard numerous stories of someone who waited til they retired to do anything and then died within a few years. There has to be a balance of saving and playing. You get one life and you don&apos;t know how long that life will be.

  I liked that “I want the freedom that low expenses give me”. &nbsp;I love that we can use that freedom to be generous to others.

  Looking Poor comes easy for me because I am poor.
