  1. If Something Seems Suspicious, It Probably Is She was the first animated Disney princess, so I suppose we can't blame her for falling for one of the oldest tricks in the book. If a witch lady shows up to your home with a shiny red apple, you should probably ask a few questions first. How does this translate to our real life lesson? With innumerable "get rich quick" schemes and scams abound, the frugal person MUST do their research. If something seems too good to be true, it most likely is. I'm referring mostly to those online scams that say something like "Make $30,000 in 30 days!" or emails that says "You've won $1,000,000! Click here to claim your prize!" These claims have one very important thing in common with Snow White. They are both fictional.

  2. Dishonesty Doesn't Pay it is more than okay to be creative in your quest for frugality. However, it is not okay to be dishonest. As a common rule, if something feels wrong, it probably is. It probably feels wrong to do, and therefore, is. Frugal people should unite under a code of frugal ethics. Don't lie or be dishonest to save money.

  3. It Does Pay, However, to Be Resourceful Cinderella's fairy godmother was an extremely resourceful woman. I mean, come on, the lady turned a pumpkin into a carriage and some rags into a beautiful ball gown. It's true; we may not have magic wands or the ability to perform that kind of Bibbidy-Bobbidy-Boo, but we all have the ability to harness the power of creativity. We can take a leaf out of her book and turn something old, used, or dull into something else that will be useful.

  4. Sometimes, You Have to Make Sacrifices Ariel was given the chance to make her dreams come true, but she had one huge challenge to overcome. How would she win her prince when she had to sacrifice her beautiful voice to be given the chance to do so? We frugalistas face similar issues in our day to day lives. How are we to live our lives to the fullest (or even achieve our dreams) without spending much money? This is where creativity again comes into play.

  5. Don't Be Afraid of a Challenge Belle is not quite like everyone else in her town. This admirable beauty doesn't ever worry about keeping up with the Jones'. She is strong-willed and intelligent and is certainly not afraid of a challenge. She is able to see the best in a bad situation. While many others would be queasy about living in a castle full of animate, speaking objects, Belle does what she can to make a life for herself. She takes on the challenge willingly for a good cause; to save her father's life.

  6. Don't Let Money Change You Even though Aladdin did have to resort to stealing sometimes (which I certainly do not condone), he was a pretty positive guy considering his living conditions. Even before he stumbled upon a genie in a bottle, he kept an upbeat attitude and knew what life was all about, hence making him a diamond in the rough. Sure, he made a few mistakes with his first two wishes, but who wouldn't make grand wishes if they were offered anything in the wide world. But in the end, he makes a wish that we can all learn from.

  7. Take Responsibility for Your Actions Simba, the cutest little lion cub you've ever seen, believes that he is responsible for his father's death and runs away from everything: his responsibilities, his problems, his family, etc. He starts a new "carefree" life and stops worrying. Meanwhile, Scar has taken over his rightful kingdom and has made it a terrible, gloomy place where it always rains for some reason. All of Simba's problems and much more are waiting for him when he finally does return.

  8. Respect the Earth as a Living Resource Pocahontas and her people sure knew how to cultivate the earth. They didn't have grocery stores back in those days. Everything they ate, they had to grow or catch. In modern times, it's a bit more convenient to enjoy a meal, but we can definitely take a leaf out of Pocahontas' book. Those with a green thumb can use the earth to grow their own food to save money. We need to treat the earth as a living, breathing entity that offers us so many gifts. We should never treat it as "a dead thing you can claim."
