We also asked Jen if she’s ever done or seen anything done in the name of frugality that may have been taking it a little too far. “Oh, where do I start!?” Jen told us the first story that always comes to mind is when she met her husband he had just moved out of a mobile home where he was renting a room from a woman and sleeping on a futon chair. “He had a full-time job, he was just trying to save money on housing, and the mobile home park was right next to his school and job. There are far better ways to save on housing though. Jill and her husband Eric bought an RV that was newer and running great but renovated it look like an actual home you’d want to live in. They lived in the RV for a while with minimal rent costs then sold it for a profit.”
