Most people think that if frugality became widespread, the economy will go through a downturn and that's a bad thing. However, that kind of analysis is from the perspective of our current overconsuming and overworked society. I think if everyone became frugal, we'll end up just downscaling the economy. Because we consume less, we will also work less and have more time to spend with our families. There will be less stress and less stretching to make ends meet. Overall, I think it will be positive for our society.
