- The Future of Frugal Summit! We are insanely excited to announce that registration is now open for our first ever frugal living summit. We believe it’s the first of its kind and the theme for this year is The Future of Frugal. We believe a frugal lifestyle is a solution to so many of the problems we face today from overspending and overwhelm all the way to climate change and so we’re bringing together 20 expert speakers over 4 days for this FREE virtual event to help us make changes in our lives that promote choosing frugality enthusiastically not just as a means to an end. So pause this episode and go to frugallivingsummit.com to grab your spot, your free goodie bag, and join the pop up Facebook group where we’ll be giving away over $1,000 in prizes. You’ll also get an exclusive Frugal Friends listener discount on the all access pass before our speakers start promoting it and that discount will pop up once you register and ends June 27th at 11:59 pm. So check that out. Over half of our speakers have submitted products from budgeting courses to net worth tracking. Again that’s frugallivingsummit.com pause the episode, we’ll wait.
