Frugality as Stewardship of Resources
- Frugal living means stewarding all finite resources: money, time, space, energy, and natural resources.
- Time is the most finite resource, and managing money well influences how we use our time.
Filter Spending Through Four Questions
- Always ask: Can I get it for free, low cost, a deal, or buy it guilt-free?
- This helps steward money while considering time, space, and energy costs.

- Before acquiring, ask if you need the item, can borrow it, or trade for it.
- Avoid clutter by considering physical space and mental energy costs.
