What frugal living lifestyle
will you choose for retirement?

Welcome to the Frugal Retirement Living home page. This site will be of interest to:

  • People who are already retired and want to stay retired
  • People who are retiring now of their own choosing or not
  • People who are considering retirement but think they cannot afford it now


happy couple on sailboat
I am 66 and have been retired for 18 years by practicing frugal living. We do not feel deprived and have done (and are continuing to do) all we want to do. We can show you how.


It is 2012 and times are tough, but there is hope.

We are not hippies, risk takers or anything out of the ordinary. Living cheaply and well is possible for anyone who has a strong desire to enjoy retirement.

We have experienced first hand several frugal living retirement options that you may have never considered, including the following:

  • Living aboard a sailboat
  • Living in an RV
  • Living overseas
  • Small space living
  • Relocation
None of these options are cheap living they are just living cheaply.

If you think these options are not for you, we can show you how we are staying retired in the conventional sense. In fact these are tips for anyone who would like to learn how to save money.

We will not be giving investment advice, pitching any get rich quick schemes, or asking you to purchase anything. We will give you some tools and ideas to enjoy frugal retirement living.

We have learned a lot about living cheaply and well in retirement during the past 16 years and believe the ideas we have developed will help us live comfortably into the future.

Relocating may be required to enjoy retirement in the most frugal fashion. The best places to retire section will help you choose what is just right for you.

Because of our experience at frugal living, you do not have to learn by trial and error, which can sometimes result in costly mistakes.

Come along and let us tell you how we did it.
