Valentine's Day is right around the corner. Often dubbed the most romantic day in the year, Valentine's Day is a time for love. Remember, just because you aren't married, or do not have a boyfriend or girlfriend, does not necessarily mean that you can not have a Valentine and celebrate this special day. In fact, your children, your friends, anyone can qualify to be your Valentine. It's about loving someone, not necessarily being "in love" with someone. And Valentine's Day is a day to recognize that connection and spend some quality time together.

Frugal Living is a lifestyle, not something you are. It is something you become, you live, by choices you make, by decisions and ideas you implement. I have been living a frugal living lifestyle for many years now, and I write a "column" over at families.com about it, so join me in learning how to live with all the frugality one can muster.

Frugal Living Is a State Of Mind
To be a true frugal gal (or guy), it has to become a part of who you are. Not everyone is cut out for frugal living, and not everyone cares.
But if you do, you should be making it part of your lifestyle, a part of who you are.
There are dozens of ways to incorporate frugal living into your everyday life. It goes beyond cutting coupons and preparing food from scratch, and goes further into learning how to pay less for services you use continuously and organizing your household to keep things in order.
It's knowing when to shop for the best deals, where to shop at particular times, and how to know the difference between spending money to save money, and spending money just to spend it.
Sometimes I think frugality is born inside of you. You just have to know where to reach down and pull it all the way out.
