Frugality recognizes that spending is a skill that needs to be honed in on and there is space to spend and there's even space to spend on high priced items if it falls within our values. It's not the

avoidance of spending, it's not deprivation. Frugality is honing the skill set of spending. My name is Lisa, mother of eight and

you my love for creating a handmade home from scratch cooking and a little mom and entrepreneur life along the way.

Welcome back to the Simple Farm House Life Podcast.

Today I am having on Jen and Jill from the Frugal Friends podcast. The name pretty much says it all, but they help teach people how to become

frugal in a way that I feel is a bit different than the one that we usually hear. Make a budget, stay on it, be really strict, which is all good stuff. I've advocated for that. It has helped me in the past. But they have a different way of looking at it that I actually really appreciate and I think it makes a lot of sense.

So without further ado, let's jump into the discussion with Jen and Jill.

Okay, we have on Jen and Jill from the Frugal Friends podcast.

I have to tell you, I have identical twin cousins and their names are Jill and Jenny.

So this is like, oh yeah, that's so fun.

I won't forget your names too quickly.

Yeah, it's so funny.

So we're gonna talk debt-free stories,

frugality, obviously that is the entire topic of your podcast.

I was just listening to it before this and you were talking about some habits to get into

to have frugality on autopilot and that is something I've thought

about a lot some people seem to be very naturally frugal it comes really easy

and some people have to learn and implement some habits so So let's start introductions.

Tell us a little bit about you, your podcast,

and the mission of your whole thing

that you share on the internet.
