I don't believe you can realistically go from one extreme to the other and be happy about it. For example you can't go from flying first class to going on a gray hound bus! Its about stepping down a level, not jumping off the bridge.
I've been dying for ice-cream all week. I craved Dairy Queen -mmm peanuts, banana, with hot fudge. The cost for us, a family of 4 to go to Dairy Queen could be as much as $15. Instead, I took a level down and bought a box of drumsticks on sale at the local Piggly Wiggly. Cost $2.98
I believe that if you take baby steps the challenge of becoming a frugal person will have a higher rate of success.
Have you stepped down a level this week?

Thanks for the inspiration!
instead of starbucks I've been going to a cheaper coffee place - does that count?
darn it - my daughter was signed in - that last comment is from me
Denise.. not sure if the cheaper coffee place is a full step down.. maybe half. I've heard starbucks can be expensive, though. I've never been there!
Ester.. good for you for eating the left overs!
