on the meaning of frugality

i am thoroughly impressed with myself! yes..even i thought i had been extravagant about a lot of things and had to start worrying about money trickling away towards alcohol and clothes (what with the decadence of summer and this epicurean lifestyle). but what happens when weixi helps me list my expenses these 2 weeks and compare them vis-a-vis everyone else's? i've emerged as the most frugal of everyone. with living expenses not exceeeding 300 pounds inclusive of everything bought for the house! and so it's been absolutely encouraging, the amount i'd save by december to bid for a good winter vacation! definitely gonna cut back on noodlebar and union nights. the chinese really know how to suck u dry on cash.
