At last, somebody’s doing it right!

(Before It's News)

I confess I get sick and tired of news profiles of “frugal” people who do absurd things like going a week without shopping (oooh!) or (cough) going a month without spending (after being allowed to stock up in advance). There’s even a book describing a year without (discretionary) shopping (be sure to read the reviews).

Well at last the news folks got it right. They profiled a young couple who is living — very well — on $14,000/year. Good for them!

These folks are doing it all right: cooking from scratch, paying everything with cash, buying bulk, etc. They also homeschool their two children (here’s their blog).

I say, more power to ‘em. At an age where most people spend themselves into debt, this couple is doing whatever it takes to stay out of debt and live richly. They’re passing these skills on to their children. My gosh, we need more folks like them. They’ve got their heads screwed on straight.
