Real frugality starts when you've over with the fact that you don't really need most of that stuff you think you needed anyway. And, further, those things you do need you choose because you like them, not because what you think others will like--and thus, think they like you too.
However, there's an interesting issue there. Having little income but consuming even less approaches a certain point--a point that is the same point as consuming a lot but yet having even more income.
Either way, at this point you consume less than you earn. And this point happens to be the one that calls you to think what is it that you're here, in life, for. The "what would you do if you had a million dollars question", but just in reality. You don't need millions; to reach this point you just need more income than you spend.
This calling is always there but you really start hearing it louder as soon as you don't have to be so busy merely making a living. And that is a dreadful point for it takes away all excuses you're used to, and makes you either a weasel or someone who will begins to think hard, really hard.
