Frugal and Energy Efficient Living
In reply to the discussion: My efforts at frugal living [View all]Kaleva
(38,688 posts)Years ago when I was in the Navy, an old chief (at least old to me at the time) told me when I write something down about a job that needs to be accomplished, the job is half done. And I've found that to be pretty much true. When I write down in a note or here at DU even, I find myself much more motivated to finish the task.
Since I've been reading here at DU in this group alot lately about what you and others are doing and posting myself plus reading at other sites, I've accomplished more in the past 30 days then I have in the previous several months combined.
I'm not going to save much money doing what I'm doing as i don't spend much to begin with but at least I can minimize my impact on the environment as much as possible. Possibly later, I'll start volunteering around here to help others. I have the time and some skills that could be of use.
