Welcome to Frugal Not Cheap. Frugality isn't about pinching pennies or skipping out on fun—it's about spending intentionally on real value, hitting your goals, and building a joyful life.
After a long FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) journey from New Hampshire to Texas and now Bangkok, I created this channel to share practical insights on financial freedom and better living.
What You'll Find Here:
• Personal Finance & FIRE: Practical strategies for building wealth without going "Extreme Cheapskate."
• Tools & Card Reviews: Fluff-free breakdowns of financial software, credit cards, and useful tools.
• Expat Life & Geo-Arbitrage: The real costs, lessons, and practicalities of living retired abroad in Thailand.
What's Different:
No sponsors. No clickbait. No fake urgency. Just honest, weekly deep dives into topics I'm genuinely passionate about.

Thank You for 1,000 subscribers! I will strive to continue to provide helpful and entertaining content :) My first $1 earned by this channel will go to a charitable cause, and then to cover the cost of setting up an LLC
