What is it about being frugal Air Jordan 4 For Sale , why do it at all? Actually, some people don't do it at all, they have decided that what they want and desire is what they are going to get and they feel they deserve it. I have no trouble with that; more power to ya, live long and prosper and may you die with the most toys. However, for me, I find little value in the things around me.
When I was a teenager, things were my identity. However, as I have gotten older and through one situation or another I have learned to separate myself from the items in my home. Let me give you an example; quite a few years ago I was given a leather jacket, I always wanted one because I thought they were cool and thus, I would be cool. I got it and I loved, I loved it so much I rarely wore it for fear of losing it or ruining it beyond repair. I wanted it to stay 'new' and always carry that memory I had of when I first received it and the person who gave it to me. As the years passed and I was in some hard times, I needed money for necessities and didn't know what to do, until I saw the jacket in the closet in all it's shiny newness and cleanliness. "I could get some money for that", I thought. I proceeded to take it to the pawnshop (this was before eBay) and get A LOT less than what in my mind it was worth to me. It killed me to take that jacket in, but I had to and to do it, I had to distance myself from the experience so I could get it done. And surprisingly, I still have the memory of receiving that jacket with no loss of value in my mind.
Since that time, through losses of one thing or another, I learned that my own self worth or value isn't based on what I have around me. A side note: I in NO way think I am superior than the woman that drives the jag to her 5 bedroom home, in fact I hope she is happy with her station in life and I wish her well. But for me, I will never aspire to that.
I guess when it comes down to being frugal or not, the question needs to be asked, "Does this fulfill me?" For myself less is more in my world; less to worry about, less to find space for, less to keep up. But, again, that's not everyone's cup of tea. Your level of tolerance for less may be higher than mine. I could easily whittle down my needs and wants, throw them in the car and go. That is how little I really need, besides a roof over my head and a steady stream of income.
Frugal living isn't a dreary task, I think we need to reward ourselves here and there. My luxury is going to the movies and seeing the blockbuster action movies and dramas. But doing that regularly would no longer be a treat but become a necessity if I could think up enough excuses.
Frugality in my opinion is also about moderation. Moderation is key no matter if I am eating, drinking, watching TV, going to movies or exercising. Excess is what happens when I stop controlling my life and let something else run it. It's about keeping things in check, whether it's my reasoning for buying and item or getting caught up in the good feeling a TV commercial gives me. (By the way, I have never gotten good cell phone service in the boonies like the ads show!)
Frugal living is temporary for some until they get back on their feet, for others it is a day to day necessity for who knows how long and for myself and others it is a voluntary decision, wherever you fit in there.

There are lots of reasons to schedule routine visits with your dentist, including getting biannual cleanings and fillings when necessary.
We all know about the things that a dentist can do for our teeth. This doctor not only helps keep them clean but he also works at restoring your smile. For the most part almost any dental hygienist can do these things for you but some require a specialist to handle. Figuring out whom to go see is only part of the problem. If you just need someone who specializes in general dentistry then you might be curious what services this professional will provide for you.
Of course the biggest service is cleaning. You should have your teeth cleaned at least once every six months. This will keep the plaque and tarter from building up and damaging your teeth. When you go in for a cleaning you might actually be seeing the dental hygienist but she is supervised by the doctor and he will come in and see you either just before or just after the work is completed. A clean healthy smile is important and that is the main job for these family practitioners. It's something that you don't need a specialist for and you can find them just about anywhere.
Another job that a doctor specializing in general dentistry will do is fillings and crowns. If you have a cavity then you need it taken care of. You don't have to go to a cosmetic dentist or an orthodontist to have the cavity taken care of. If anything that would be a waste of time and money to do. Just go to your normal doctor and he can make sure that it is filled so that it doesn't get any worse. Most of them use a filling that matches you tooth's color so that you don't have to worry about having a mouth full of metal.
