But Williams also had a few inexpensive Japanese imported guitars. ukuleles pointed to one and asked the price. The little single pickup 6 string Kent was $59.95...still a lot for me.

5. I once had a reader comment that I must have exceptional willpower in order to live a frugal life, believe me, I don't. I just have a different perspective than I did years ago. I feel like I live a very full and exciting life even though our family does things differently sometimes. I don't feel deprived of anything nor do my kids. Part of this is because my hope is not in the things of this world, and the other part is because I am looking to the future. I want to change my financial future for my kids. I don't need to be rich, I already am, although not with money. God, family, and friends make me the richest person in this world. I am a penny pincher, but my life is so full I am overwhelmed with thankfulness.
