If you find yourself struggling with the self discipline to practice this Virtue, I recommend challenging

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.
