I fail in so many ways at being frugal. I order delivery and eat at restaurants on a regular basis. I purchase for quality over price. I buy myself presents all the time. I go to the movies a lot and go to bars and wine and dine. I live in Manhattan. I can tell you that if I had been a little more patient in pulling the trigger on HALF of my big ticket purchases, I would have been able to make about 50% MORE big ticket purchases. I favor buying over shopping. I probably own a lot of things that I can live without. I've probably upgraded a lot of things that didn't need improvement.
Sometimes I regret it. The rest of the time, I use all the time I would have spent strategizing over it to just enjoy it.
