Episode 453 - Is Frugal Living Still the Secret to Saving Money in 2025

The YouTube video from "Under the Median" explains how frugal living remains a crucial strategy for financial stability, especially in anticipation of economic downturns like recessions. The content emphasizes that true frugality extends beyond merely cutting small expenses; it fosters discipline and consistency in managing finances. The hosts, Larry and Hope, advocate for proactive planning through tools like a "what if" worksheet to anticipate price increases, and implementing a "barebones budget" focusing on essential expenditures such as housing, food, and transportation. They stress the importance of tracking spending habits to identify and reduce discretionary costs, making strategic adjustments rather than drastic overhauls.
