"Moderate means that I like to be frugal to a point, but I won’t go so far as to buy something cheap simply because it’s the best price." "Feeling gratitude for our ability to pay for things vs being bitter over money spent is a great sign that we are evolving in our relationship with money." Learn more about your ad choices.
