Re-use rags to wipe your ass to save a buck
No TV
No smartphones
Cars? The Devil's work
Bike everywhere
Eat out? What!
Track every cent you spend
Vacations? For fools
Make your own clothes
Grow your own food

The arrogance of this movement is stunning. I'm all for saving, investing, and no debt, but this is ridiculous. To each his own, but it's really interesting to read just how superior these folks seem to feel over the "morons" who own cars, own TV's, and grab a steak dinner out with their families on the weekend. It's a bit out of control.

An example I came across in the comments section of an article:

Yesterday I was going to the hardware store to purchase materials for a home project that I could have paid someone else to do. I knew I had a $5 coupon, but couldn't find it. The idea of burning 5 bucks totally annoyed me.

I ended up digging through the garbage and finding it there. It was wet from some kind of garbage-liquid.

I stood there with the dirty coupon, feeling the rush of victory because it was still scannable. And I realized, "A normal person wouldn't do this."

I, on the other hand, popped it into a ziploc bag as a kindness to my cashier and went to the hardware store to use it.
