Hello My Peoples,
I know it has been a while, but I am a hard working brother and have to make that money. Now that being said, I make my money from other things than financial advice. This separates me from the other cats on the internet blog sites. I am not trying to make money off of you, just spreading good frugal advice and love for my people. As my mother used to say, "People who love you will tell you what you need to hear not what you want to hear." SO AGAIN as I yell at you. Beware of people trying to make money off of you. Now don't get me wrong, you should protect your family with insurance and you should invest for your future, but you can research and do this for yourself without paying hefty fees. You can check this blog, ask questions, and seek out your library for some good books. Yes, as frugal fans you are going to have to read for yourselves. I am not your quick answer guy but we can have a healthy discussion once you educate yourself a little. I need you to join the ranks of the Frugal Franks On the Black Side, which means I am probably going to rename this site because I believe in the empowerment of black women and we need strong sisters and brothers. Now, just because I love my people don't mean I am against others. I love the human race, but my people sometimes get neglected. So, as I write this blog on Mother's Day, I have to give much love to my deceased mother who was a symbol of strength in flesh. She could pinch pennies like nobody's business and still do better than neighbors making twice as much as she.
So here is a list of the attributes of Frugal Frank OTBS fans:
1. They drive used Volvos, Honda Vans or Subarus
2. They take mini-vacation weekends using sites like Groupon instead of exotic ones
3. They invest in their children's education instead of clothes
4. Men wear Keenes, Clarks and Rockports
5. Women wear Keenes, Birkenstocks, and Danskos
6. Have 15 year home mortgages
7. Have assets of $1 million and are maxed out on 401K's and 403B's
8. Shop at Lands Ends, LL Bean, Thrift Shops and hit Tag Sales on weekends
9. Should be invested in some Berkshire Hathaway
10. Do not have Bitcoin (because we don't understand it yet, although Ripple is interesting)
11. Don't plan to retire-we will talk about this in the next blog
12. Send their kids to public school if they can
13. Don't Tithe but support the church not because of guilt but through love
14. Have switch to Apple Computers, software and tech is just better
Well, time to go. After All it is Mother's Day and Tiger Woods and Harold Varner III are making history making as the only two blacks on the LeaderBoard at the Players Golf Tournament.
Peace Out,
Frugal Frank OTBS
