How Can Star Wars Inspire Frugality?

Posted By Mike on June 8, 2008

Head on over to Wisebread.com for their list of "9 ways Star Wars can inspire you to save money." See below for the intro and click here for the list.

"Ok, so I admit it; I�m a Star Wars geek (although I�m certainly not alone). I was watching my favorite of the original trilogy last night, The Empire Strikes Back, when I had an epiphany. A moment of clarity, if you will. These Star Wars Jedis and rebels know a thing or three about frugality. And now I�m going to let you in on my fairly pointless, but fun, revelation.

The astute amongst you will notice I�m referring only to the good guys. The Empire is anti-frugality in almost every way. They build enormous, no-expense-spared Death Stars; they have fancy shiny uniforms; they own the latest technology; they�re not exactly thrifty. But the good guys, well, that�s another story.

Of course, this is all to be taken with an enormous grain of salt, but here�s where I found my inspiration (and if you�re not a Star Wars fan, some of this will sound really odd)"

Thanks to Kevin for the link.
