Frugal Living: Trend and Philosophy

 You may see it on the social media profiles about people identified themselves as one of those had it applied frugal living. So, what is frugal living?

That was the longest call i ever had. That was fun. and i was wrong... weeks ago, i matched with someone from bumble. I swept him right just because a flash of curiousity of him.
