Yes, I think it’s a noble goal to strive for. It can be a challenge for some people, a means of giving for others, and for a lot of people a means of security.

Many people strive for making more money in order to want for nothing. And it’s great, it means that people have a certain aim in their life and they will do their best to achieve it.

Great post, and I would agree with all of it except for the bit about owning your own home. That should be a decision based on the market you live in. Use a decent Rent vs Buy calculator to assess whether or not the property taxes, repairs, interest payments etc will not cost you more than you will save on rent.

Hey, you need to have goals and if you want to be self-sufficient I think thrift is something that can help you get there. By the way I love your “180 Money Saving Tips…” post.

All great points. I think I got down living thrifty. (They don’t call me the frugal law student for nothing !) I’m working on working for myself. My dream is to be self employed. We’ll see how that works out for me.
