I do not think, however, that one can be frugal without having gone through the "big wins" process. A truly frugal person, by definition, has already implemented the ideas in the "big wins" personal finance, or is simultaneously employing them together with the "frugal" personal finance. Thus, a frugal person will be better off than a "big wins" person, since the "big wins" approach is a sub-set of frugality.

I don't think they "stick" as much as frugality. What I mean is that ONLY relying on big wins might mean that you blow the money saved/earned on these, because your day-to-day habits haven't changed... That whole subject itself might be post worthy in the future. You’ve pointed out one of my only issues with big wins. I don’t think they “stick” as much as frugality.

A large percentage of people utilizing frugality ALREADY take care of big wins. I really think the key is leveraging the momentum of these bigger wins to make the smaller, frugal changes... Glad to see we connected on this one :-). Exactly Kevin!
