INTERACTIVE JOURNAL RESPONSE

*If you were advising someone on how to live their life would you recommend frugality? Explain!

                I would recommend frugality to people if they are poor or when there is not enough to go around. You know that frugality irrelevant in the First World. If the people are poor, they must manage their money so that they can survive to life. Well, let’s imagine when the people are poor and they waste their money for the unusefull things, what happen then? I think they can’t supply their necessities everyday. I would not recommend frugality for the rich people because they can buy everything that they want.

 Indonesia include in the Third World. Most people are poor. They must hardwork everyday, just to eat. They doesn’t think for the future, because their money just enough to eat everyday. In my opinion, frugality approprite to applied in Indonesia. The people must save their money and buy things that really they need. The people doesn’t think what they eat, but they think ‘are they eat today?’. So, frugal life very needed for them. For example : If we go to sepermarket or market, we can make a list what we will buy, and bring enough money.

Frugality have benefits. The result of frugality, for example : we can more in harmony with what matters in life. We can be a personal good. I think important to make a priority in our life. And then, frugality can also be a community good. We can avoid global disaster if we doesn’t make pollutes. So, with frugality we can make a better world.

In the end of my response, I can conclude that I will recommend frugality if the people are poor and if people live in the Third World. But, actually everyone can try frugal life because frugality is one of the lifestyle. We know that every lifestyle have consequences. Now, are you interest to try the frugal lifestyle?
