We haven’t even gotten through this crisis yet, and we have another one on the way? Seriously?

This is a guest post from Neal Frankle, a CFP who also writes at the Wealth Pilgrim.

Some people seem to be worried that frugal living is no longer in fashion. That somehow, responsible spending is not the right thing to do anymore when everyone is saying that consumers need to spend in this economy.
