This website assumes that you want to be radically frugal to help others in a logical, consistent and intentional way as much as you are able. Selfless radical frugality is more complex then just being thrifty. There are a lot of people that have embraced simple thrifty lifestyles for multiple reasons but because usually at least part of their motivation is selfish, many of the more radical frugal ideas and issues are under-examined.

The first defining characteristic of radical frugality is that only that which is needed is purchased. Every purchase should be evaluated based on whether the item is actually a need. If this principle is applied consistently it will definitely be quite radical. A radically frugal person should also explore the effects that different consumer decisions have on the poor internationally. Sweat shop conditions, fair trade options, environmental repercussions and other such effects should all be considered and weighed with each purchase.

The heart of selfless frugality is that with every decision that is made we choose to do that which is the most loving for all people. Of course no one will be able to do this every time and we won't always know what effect each choice that we are faced with would have. None the less this is the pursuit of radical frugality.]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/www.radicalfrugality.info Thu, 05 Oct 2006 15:32:41 -0700 http://jcbrown.stumbleupon.com/review/5900911/ jcbrown - I like it.
