Frugal living

So, I read "Frugal Isnʻt Cheap" [that was the actual title of the book, not "Frugal"], and didnʻt learn much new stuff that I didnʻt already know or do. The author [Claire somebody] recommends things like shopping at discount stores, not living past your means, not eating out as often, things like that. One thing she recommended that I hadnʻt really considered before [I am not sure why, since itʻs not really ʻnewʻ] is saving at least 20% of oneʻs monthly income every month. I think thatʻs a great idea [and of course, would be great if everyone started doing this in their 20s], and so I suppose it was a good reminder of the importance of saving. Since our countryʻs future economic situation [as well as the global economy] is so uncertain, saving more is a really great idea [I know - duh!].
