Author & Renaissance Housewife
Bethany Bontrager
6:00 p.m. EST
Bethany and her husband Joe
both grew up in frugal families. Bethany grew up on garage sale clothes and
never remembers her parents driving new cars. Ever. Being homeschooled, she was
raised outside of mainstream culture. Because of personal connections and work
ethic, neither she or Joe had a problem finding jobs; Bethany worked as a
secretary and Joe worked in construction.
Once married, Bethany quit her job and become a full-time housewife. Joe
recently took over the family business, so there was plenty of opportunity for Bethany
to help in that area as well. She also pursued writing, hobby farming,
gardening, selling things on Ebay and other projects. Bethany finds homemaking
incredibly rewarding and fulfilling.
Why be frugal if you don't
have to? When you lower your standard of living, it creates a cushion of extra
money. Depending on your income, this can be a huge cushion. Everywhere you
look, people are eating, wearing, and driving their money away. They are
throwing away their influence and ability to make the world better. It’s often
not intentional; it's just the way folks have been raised. Being frugal helps
save for the future or help a friend in need.
