There's a practical reason to save up miles to fly first or business class: You often get more value per mile than you do on a coach trip.

This is the first entry in an eight-part weekly series that provides a detailed look at the book The Wisdom of Frugality by Emrys Westacott.
When I first read The Wisdom of Frugality two years ago, shortly after its publication, I was struck more than anything about the depth of the connection between philosophy and frugality. That’s really the book’s central idea: frugality is fundamentally about lifestyle choices and values undergirded by philosophical traditions. Westacott digs deeply into those traditions throughout the book by asking a series of questions that are rather strongly relevant to people struggling with their finances today and digging into what kinds of answers come from different philosophical traditions.

VA loans come with plenty of perks. According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, VA loans used to purchase a property come with competitive interest rates and don’t require a down payment or private mortgage insurance (PMI). Cash-out refinance loans come with equally generous terms, except they let you take out cash to pay down debt or fund other financial goals.
