LESSON ONE:

We all have to get started somewhere... and most of us, when we are trying to get started, we don't have much in the way of cash flow. Just to get things straight up front, FRUGAL does not = CHEAP! It simply means that you are making the most of your money and trying to not waste it. My name is Erin Krieg, and I am a frugal fotographer. I'm always looking for ways to strech my dollar and make my business profitable from the get go. The intent of this blog is to pay it forward... Many people have helped me to get where I am today, so I wanted to share my knowledge of frugality in business with the world. So we go...

LESSON ONE:

Don't be cheap. The definition of frugal is to not waste. When you make decisions exclusively based on $$, a lot of times you end up with one of two problems.

1.) You either end up with a low quality product that doesn't function correctly.

2.) You end up spending more $$ to get to where you wanted to be, resulting in not really saving anything for your troubles.

So the point of lesson one is to be frugal when it makes sense, and spend $$ when it makes sense.
