I am what mean people call cheap and smart people call frugal. I try to be fair and contribute my part, but I am not cool with throwing in more than that at this stage in my life because I am a freelance writer that doesn't have a steady paycheck to rely on.My frugality hasn't always been a good thing. It often keeps me from buying things that would make my life so much easier. Now that I'm a freelance writer and my time literally becomes money through the hourly rates I charge my clients, I have been giving myself permission to buy things that help make me more efficient, effective, and organized.
One of my best simplicity purchases? My iPhone. I bought it in November, and I feel like the ability to be constantly connected helps me be a better entrepreneur. Hootsuite, email, banking, Pulse reader, Facebook, Goodreads, Pandora, blog apps, Paypal, Paymo...these apps and more have made my work and personal life easier.
Next on my want list is an iPad but that will have to wait :)
What have been some of your best simplicity purchases?
