Remember when being frugal wasn’t called a “hack” – it was just called not being thoughtless with your money?

We grew up recording songs off the radio and sharing everything. Somewhere along the way, we forgot that spending less is actually a skill.

You don’t need the name-brand everything. Generic works fine, and nobody’s giving out awards for brand loyalty except the companies taking your money.

Every dollar you don’t spend on stuff you don’t need is a dollar that could actually grow into something. Frugal isn’t cheap – it’s strategic.

We made mixtapes, fixed our own cars, and figured things out way before YouTube tutorials.

We can definitely pack lunch instead of dropping $15 on mediocre takeout every single day.
