live in a world of abundance...but you can be frugal and still enjoy life.
i know rich people who i consider "frugal"...just one example...a friend of mine flies into utah quite often in his piper malibu to visit family in highland/alpine, but he always parks his million dollar plane in spanish fork instead of the provo airport because avgas is a few cents cheaper in spanish fork.
here's where it gets funny...it costs about $1,000 to fly his plane from where he lives to utah...he could fly it commercial for a lot less...but he likes to fly. fair enough, but why worry about spending $3 more on a fill-up for his plane?
