Many Americans are getting sick of saving and budgeting, apparently fatigued with frugality after only giving it a shot for a couple of years now in many cases. So far most (66%) say that while they may have frugal fatigue they will continue to save anyway, but 5% are so fed up that they are planning on saving less and gearing up their spending anew. About 20% say they have no frugality fatigue and are happy with the changes they've made in their lifestyles.
Some personal finance experts say that it is wise to aim for a balance and work in some compromise to your frugal ways so you don't feel like you're suffering all the time and end up blowing the whole budget because you couldn't take it any more. They say that if you feel the need to splurge, consider an inexpensive splurge to make yourself feel better without breaking the bank.
