Family Vacations

Recent trends point toward spending money on experiences, not items. But that doesn’t mean you have to bust your budget planning the perfect getaway, according to Rodgers. “I’ve learned that a higher price tag doesn’t always mean more fun,” she wrote.

It’s important to look your best, with well-tailored outfits, if you’re attending a business meeting or networking event. The adage of dressing for the job you want still rings true.

. Pricier clothes might last longer, which is important in a business setting. Just make sure you’re paying extra for the quality, not the brand name.

“To me, frugality is about being intentional, starting with how I spend my time,” Rodgers wrote. Before saying yes to a meeting, invitation or any other commitment, Rodgers wrote that she evaluates it based on the money, energy, time or joy it will bring her.

This decision led her to declining 99% of requests for her time, making it that much more meaningful when she says, “Yes.”
