(yeah I admit it, I would NEVER check the origin of a word myself)<\/p>\n<p>The authors came out with a more holistic definition:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>enjoying<\/strong>\u00a0the <strong>virtue<\/strong>\u00a0of getting good <strong>value<\/strong>\u00a0out of what you have the use of.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Enough of definitions &#8211; what frugality looks like?<\/p>\n<p>I can give an example checking my wardrobe.<\/p>\n<p>I have 12 pair of jeans.<\/p>\n<p>Of them, I only use 3 on a regular basis and 2 for special occasion (elegant or funky).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Why I use those 5? <strong>Because I really like them!<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Can I live without the other 7? <strong>YES.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Would that be frugal? <strong>YES&#8230; frugal is enjoying what you have. And I&#8217;m enjoying 5, so the other 7 are the waste that I&#8217;m not enjoying having.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Would having only the 5 jeans I love reduce my quality of life? <strong>I don&#8217;t think so. I rather think the opposite<\/strong>. Having only what you enjoy and what you love would <em>increase<\/em>\u00a0your quality of life to a new level.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The increase of life quality is a by-product of frugality.<\/p>\n<p>Consider those effects:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>less TIME spent on arranging things (I remember the &#8220;spring cleaning&#8221; with my family, cleaning and re-arranging things we never used).<\/li>\n<li>less SPACE required. I&#8217;m happy to live in an apartment, and sorry but here around 1mt2 is 4.000eur and I want to enjoy each one of them!<\/li>\n<li>less MONEY waste, money that can be saved or spent for the things that matter to you (like that vacation that seems too expensive now, because all the money went for unused possessions).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Someone think that frugality is a way of deferring happiness, being cheap NOW in order to get something LATER&#8230; but that&#8217;s absolutely NOT what I&#8217;m talking about!<\/p>\n<p>For example my favorite pair of jeans is from Emporio Armani and I paid quite some money for: I like them A LOT so I use them A LOT. NOW.<\/p>\n<p>I definitely prefer to have 5 pair of high quality pants that I really like rather than many mediocre ones I end up never using, and I could probably even save money in the process.<\/p>\n<p>I repeat: <strong><em>it&#8217;s not about being cheap, it&#8217;s about enjoy what I have, having\u00a0only things I like and I use<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div>I started 2 years ago investigating frugality with <a title=\"Experiment #1: Less is More\" href=\"https:\/\/www.danielebesana.com\/blog\/life\/experiment-1-less-is-more\" target=\"_blank\">the &#8220;Less is More&#8221; experiment<\/a>, and since then I&#8217;m a big believer of being frugal. I only want in my life possessions that I can enjoy.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Following this\u00a0philosophy, for example last year I sold my 16.000 Eur exclusive Aprilia Tuono R Factory (if you don&#8217;t know: it&#8217;s a motorbike [<a title=\"Addio TL1000s, benvenuta Tuono R Factory!\" href=\"https:\/\/www.danielebesana.com\/blog\/motorbike\/addio-tl1000s-benvenuta-tuono-r-factory\" target=\"_blank\">this is the post I wrote when I bought it<\/a>\u00a0{it&#8217;s written in Italian!}]&#8230; breath in, breath out&#8230;) because I was not <em>enjoying <\/em>it enough. I bought instead\u00a0an old &amp; cheap Honda Hornet 600. I enjoy it even when I&#8217;m not riding it!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>And because I try to live frugally, as another side effect I saved quite some money that are allowing me now to start my own business without be afraid of not having enough cash to buy what I <strong>don&#8217;t<\/strong> need.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>One more step towards happiness? It seems so, according to Rabbi Hyman Schachtel:<br \/>\n<em>&#8220;Happiness is not having what you want.
