In the case of Piolo, I think the frugal thing to do is buy what is economical but functional. Anyway, if it’s Piolo wearing the running shoes, people will think its expensive. I know of wealthy friends who buy and wear casual, running shoes that are not original, yet everyone think he wears the branded one. Frugality is one habit we, Filipinos, must have to gain financial freedom and live a debt-free life. Thanks for the blog. Blessings!

John Lloyd styles and cuts his own hair to save on salon and barbershop expenses. Although most of his friends think that he’s not doing a good job at cutting his own hair, he personally believes that his work is not at all bad. “Saving money is more important than looking great”, he argues. What do you think? Is John Lloyd making himself look cheap?

This is Frugal, because you cannot judge the book by its cover.
At the same time he trust and like himself of what he is doing.
Opinion are the cheapest commodity here on earth. Anyway in not about the hair its about the character of the person.

hmmm… this is a very interesting blog… here’s my comments.
* i think josef is frugal. if service charge is alread included and the food is really not that great why give extra tip then.
* marian is cheap. feed your guest leftovers and water? it’s either she thinks less of dingdong or she’s cheap.
* gabby and sharon is frugal. as long as they don’t give the gift to the same person who gave it to them. hehehe… that’s what i did with the gifts i received that i have no use of in my life.
* a frugal choice for piolo is the one with a bargain deal. he’s going to wear out the running shoes in no time. why spend more if you need to buy another one in a few months or so. unless, the expensive pair can lost longer than the cheaper one. then i’d buy the expensive pair.
* john lloyd is definitely cheap. looking good is one factor in increasing one’s self esteem. one does not get haircuts every day, week or month right? what he should have done is find a salon that charges low but gives great haircut and let them cut his hair.
