And the Great Depression in frugal living spaces is kind of looked like at this, as this peak of frugality.

This like peak aspirational, most money-saving area of life.

And that's always kind of irked me.

So we have always stayed away from like really extreme frugality ideologies.

But I did take a look at it and find some very good mindsets,

I think, that we can use to really glean the wisdom from that era and incorporate it

into non-deprivation, really optimization of frugality. Yeah, I do think when we see people

depriving themselves or sacrificing hygiene, that is a level of deprivation that was necessary

for survival during the Great Depression, but not something we need to carry over. But that said, there are a lot of

really great things that were practiced through the Great Depression, some creativity and problem

solving that took place, that I think we would do well to adopt and push back against some of this

overconsumption culture that we're in. Yeah. So if that is a mindset that you jive with that you want more of, you're not into the

extremes, but you do want to see what wisdom there is to glean from them, you should definitely

subscribe to frugal friends on YouTube. This is the kind of content we put out every week. We're exploring

and visiting these extremes to see what there is to learn without being entrenched and obsessed

with them. And we're trying to find our radical middle. So please like this video, help it get out
