Lesser-Known Frugal Tips That Have The Biggest Impact, As Shared In This Online Thread

Frugal innovation has potential for promoting social sustainability.

Having a socially sustainable society means having equal access and opportunities for all members in terms of survival and fulfillment of their development potential. While businesses do like to innovate, that often ends up within certain financial limits that push away those who can’t afford the innovation. However, frugal innovators seek out opportunities to serve these marginalized customers by looking for ways to provide an affordable alternative. And that’s a win-win from a societal as well as economic side.

It goes without saying that minimalism is a certain kind of frugality. If you want more money, spend less by buying only what you truly need and make it last.

That in turn might prove beneficial to your own health as a minimalist approach to life entails less stress and anxiety, increased productivity, greater sense of well-being and you’ll be overall happier. This is based on a number of factors, but basically the less stuff you have, the less you’ll have to worry about in the long run, and your pockets will be better off.

And if you’re worried about being called cheap, hey, frugal isn’t cheap. While those two terms, as well as words like thrifty and stingy, might all mean you like to save money, but in different ways and to varying degrees (good or bad).

Being frugal means you care about the quality as well as the cost. It’s a balancing game of resourcefulness without going overboard in any extreme, and as research shows above, it benefits you in more ways than not. Being cheap, however, only benefits your finances for the sake of benefiting your finances.
