Frugality Fatigue-Do you have it?

I found this article to be interesting.

In the past year, then, people who have — have college educations, have jobs, have stocks, have decent credit, and have expensive homes with equity — have repaired their balance sheets and seen their portfolios reflate. Now they’re shucking off their frugality fatigue and propelling higher growth in the luxury and near-luxury brands.

Not me. Like I said frequently, this is a lifestyle for us. We have nice things, nice cars, nice wines, and we eat good food. I just won’t pay full price for it. Mind you, I’m wearing New Balance, not Jimmy Choos, but I don’t want Jimmy Choos. Luxury and near-luxury brands can be found on sale, even with coupons!
