Frugal Miser, you are right – the act of paying for almost all of our house up front wasn’t necessarily frugal, but it has been a means to an end to live more frugally. We could’ve bought a 10x more expensive home and only had 20% down but our life would certainly not be simple or frugal that way.

Thanks for turning me onto another blog about being frugal. I’m not sure that making a big down payment is so frugal as much as it is just plain smart to do. The frugal part is living beneath your means by buying that smaller house with not just lower mortgage payments but also lower maintenance and utilities expenses!

I absolutely love Emily’s blog, so it’s a treat to see her here, too! She’s so right that frugality isn’t about the dollar signs. I’ve certainly been learning that since my husband and I relocated to Germany in a 450 sq ft home.
Great thoughts, Emily.
