Living on purpose
Posted by Brent Dixon on June 27th, 2008
Frugality and thrift allow us to emphasize those things that are most important in our lives. When we restrict our spending on the unimportant, we’re able to indulge ourselves on the things that matter most.

Job well done. Brent. The advice makes incredibly good sense for everyone, regardless of what the AGI line on was on the most recent 1040.
Thanks for the well-articulated reminder.
Happy Sunday!
Oops. One too many “ons” in my comment above. Sorry – ESM* syndrome strikes again.
Thanks for the comment Bruce. I thought it was interesting that if, in fact, credit unions are tasked with encouraging and facilitating thrift and frugality, a large slice of their real task is encouraging meaningful living and meaningful consumption. Credit unions enable living on purpose.
It’s a nice reminder that there’s a reason sitting beneath the dollars and cents
...And I suffer from ESM (and EMM, ETM, etc) syndrome too. I try to keep a two-coffee minimum before I hop into the blogosphere.
That’s a very refreshing quote. Thanks!
