Do you read this blog by visiting or RSS? Do you also blog on matters of personal finance? I am asking if you do have a blog on personal finance to please add me to your blogroll.

Thanks

Hey, in the past day or so you may have had problems reading the blog. I apologize for that, I found and corrected the problem. I wrap my advertising around divisions with the text align property set to center and I miscoded the opening div tags, leaving the div out. The closing tags were present and threw the format into chaos.

Sorry.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

A review of my goals from last year on its way and another post on this year’s goals!

To those who have or are visiting this site I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I resolve to place more of my focus on this site! Hope to see you back!

I started this blog up, almost one year ago. As is usual for this time of the year the blog was part of my New Year’s Resolution package. As you can see, there was fervor for writing it and that fervor died away too.

However, with the end of this year approaching I would like to revive this effort both the effort of saving wisely and the effort of sharing my less ons with you.

This policy is by no means comprehensive.

1. I require you to register with Frugal Framnett to comment therefore no anonymous commenting, however if you wish to use a pseudonym that is acceptable.
2. I do not allow obscene commentary.
3. I do not allow abusive commentary. This applies to abuse of authors, commenters, or others who do not participate on Frugal Framnett.
4. I do not allow spam comments. If you want to advertise something contact myself and we can work out an advertising agreement.
5. I do not allow commentary off topic. The conversation in the commentary is allowed to drift but keep your comments pertinent to the commentary discussion or the blog post.

These policies are not comprehensive but guiding. I reserve the right to delete any all comments for any reason whatsoever.

Yes, I include Google advertising on this blog.

Does that defeat the purpose of this blog? I do not think so. Some of the advertising I have seen includes financial services, debt counseling, financial management tools (the free kind too!) and similar.

However, this morning as I write this blog I see a graphic Google ad for Cadillac automobiles. Is that frugal? It all depends.

In my mind frugality is more an attitude than how you earn and spend your money. If you earn an annual salary of $20,000,000.00 than a new Cadillac is something you can afford and it would not be out of bounds to be called a frugal purchase. If you earn $40,000.00 annually than purchasing a new Cadillac is unwise and hence it is NOT frugal.

The frugal person realizes the limitations their life and fate places upon them. The frugal person is not envious and jealous of others.

Welcome to Frugal Framnett.

I have taken to reading frugality blogs, which contain some good ideas and attitudes. The number one attitude I see many express is they are bound and determined to save money and minimize expenditures and some of them even confess they are by nature less than frugal or downright extravagant.

Those of you who know me know I can be that way. I appreciate the finer things in life. I prefer and appreciate a $100.00 bottle of brandy to a $15.00. I prefer and appreciate a $225.00 box of havanas (I have not had a genuine havana since leaving the Middle East) over a swisher sweet, and so on.

However, my income is more suited to the $15.00 bottle and swisher sweets, especially when put up against the other priorities in our life (I include Lorie in this of course).

I hope to put you on top of good ideas to save money as well as motivate myself to Save more, spend less, and avoid being ripped off!
