I made $64,400 at my job last year, & Put everything I made farming back into farming. I have a cell phone that costs $37.45 (tax included) per month. I don't have cable on my television, do have high speed cable internet. My cell phone is my home phone. It rarely leaves the house. Last time was in September, went to Florida. Internet access on the cell; but again have not used since Florida trip. Don't have a laptop, or mobile computer. Don't have Direct deposit, or bank online. 1 vehicle 2005 Chev 3500 paid off since 2009. Have been thinking about an additional vehicle, wont be new. $9500 savings, & $2100 checking as of today. I consider myself Semi Frugal, & fortunate.
MY CO-WORKERS... Have a starkly different opinion. I have been called a mizer, tightwad, cheap, selfish, & a whole list of other things. Now I will discuss items in which blows their theories away. Such as the $2500 Computer I am typing on right now. The $2800 55" television in am watching the news on as well. I save in certain areas to spend more money in other areas that the average person wouldn't spend. I work next to a man that told me last week his phone bill for 5 phones is just over $300. told Him burning up a blanket making smoke signals would be a heck of a lot cheaper!!! I rarely mention the computer, or TV, it doesn't matter to me what they think. Maybe word will spread, & I will be less likely to get robbed!
I think its the individual situation coupled with the epidemic of Child Support. If I had $150/week taken for that; things would be far different.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
