Frugality II

The wretchedness of poverty can be initigated by frugality...

This statement stings deeply when I stumbled upon it. Not cos it belittles my efforts to fight poverty. (Ya actually you can't say that I am poor. I am far from that . Guess it's the poverty of the mind. To me, I am still that small gal who struggles with $50 a month. Nowaday, I struggle with $5000 a month. Sometimes I believe it's not the amount of money you have but how you manage it.) But cos it associates poverty with wretchedness.

Do you think it is? The wretchedness of poverty...

some family rely on barely a S$1000 and they are happy...its the value of money and management of it that matters...a dollar to someone better off might be nothing but to others that dollar can probably do wonders
So in the end who is poor?

think you are doing a great job. You guys have a nice house fill with wonderful things...Anyway enjoy your trip!
