Frugality

Being intentional and efficient with spending to get more value from your money.

Frugality is the practice of spending thoughtfully and cutting waste while still funding what you value. In the FIRE context it raises your savings rate not through deprivation but by aligning spending with priorities.

Examples

  • Cooking most meals at home to free up money for investing is a frugal habit.
