How could someone making $60k a year can say living on 50% of their income is impossible, yet there are many people who earn far less than that. We think it’s because fitting in is the hard part.
We discuss a few reasons why being frugal doesn’t mean you’re an outcast, as well as our weaknesses in fitting in.

Be there at 8:30PM EST tonight! ?We need your input!
