I'm frugal because I have to be. I rent movies first because I'd hate to buy a DVD and be stuck with it if I don't like it. Hastings will buy used DVDs but they don't pay much. Netflix is cheaper than renting at Hastings although here lately, I've been doing both. I have an addictive personality. That's one of the reasons I avoid using drugs and try very hard not to start smoking and drinking again. I abuse other things instead, i.e. I binge eat, get obsessed with using my computer, read and buy books excessively (Paperbacks are cheaper than movies most of the time), and talk on the phone constantly. I don't do all of these things at the same time. If it's not one, it's another. I feel guilty for spending money when it's not necessary. My mother told me she hated that I'm paying for satellite TV and not watching it so I canceled my Netflix account. When I mentioned that to my dad, he asked me why I canceled it. I joined again after that. ;)
