Virtue Journal: 5
Week& #39;s End

Practice: Frugality
Purpose

- To not live engrossed in extravagance
- Fiscally prudent
- Greater self reliance
- Builds values over superficiality
- Own less material possessions
- Fosters independence & authenticity
- Prepared for adversity
In Practice:

• Foster self-sufficiency
• Dedicate more time to producing rather than consuming
• Learn a new data skill set for cheap with online certification. I recommend (Power BI, Excel, or Azure)
• Don& #39;t use banks to store money learn investing.
In Practice Cont& #39;d:

• Find a base skill as a side hobby (farm, hunt, fish, build, knit, paint, etc)
• Forgo luxuries at times & connect with nature
• Understand the more possessions you own the more responsibility you take on
• If you spend big, spend on appreciating assets
Challenge:

If you find yourself struggling with the self discipline to practice this Virtue, I recommend challenging
yourself to 1 month of "Frugal Living"

Pick a month & go on a fast. Could be any fast; spending, tech, dining out, media consumption.

Dealers choice.
Caution:

- Do not be the insufferable penny pincher, most people do not enjoy the company of a tightwad, one who is too afraid to live because of the expense.

- Frugality is about doing more with less, finding pleasure in the simple things.

- Be generous not extravagant.

Avoid vulgar displays of extravagance when you do come upon your wealth. Build a temple if you must.
