A quick Math Lesson…

Ok, moving away from the spacey “out there” theme. Time for some basic math. The math of being young, the math of exponential growth, geometric sequencing. Common knowledge to most, but not all. If you have a lot of time, you have a lot of money…..because money grows over time. If you have $5000 in the bank at the ripe old age of 25….

You will have roughly $10,000 by the time you are 35, all from sitting on your ass, gaining an 8% return. This is why everyone wishes they were young…sure there are other things, but for the truly cheap and crotchety, this is what keeps them up at night. If you had one dollar, chose to forgo the small coffee, invest, YOU COULD BUY TWO COFFEES IN 10 YEARS TIME!….assuming the price of coffee remains constant.

If you have time….you have money, no really you do.

Frugalosophy Defined…kind of…

<!– @page { size: 8.5in 11in; margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } –>

Trying to save money ’cause you’re broke?

Have debt to pay off?

Want to get rich slowly?

Save the earth?

Live simply?

If you answered ‘yes’ good for you! That’s awesome…but that’s not what this is. Frugalosophy is about being stinking rich, by being cheap. Frugalosophy is re-understanding what being rich is: mindlessly pursuing wealth and self-gratification by being frugal.

This probably makes no sense, but hopefully by reading this day after day it will. The usual way of looking at frugality has a lot to do with self-discipline and self-sacrifice, and as noble as that is, it can get old after a while. You can’t sell your ass groove, but this stuff is worth gold. Think of this as a ‘How To Get Rich Guide’ for those who appreciate the finer things in life.

Less is not more, less is less! More is more!

So, in the most bombastic, magniloquent, ridiculous, pretentious way I will shed some light on how to live the good life on nothing, and end up with everything. Stay tuned! No, really, it gets better, I swear…eventually this will all make sense.
