1. I want to

Be more self sufficient and get closer to a gift economy rather than a growth economy that relies on trading ecologicial and social resources for $.

Saving money is not quite as big a motivator as being independent of it.

And for me less spend = less worry.

2. Old and on a fixed income.

The more I save, the more I can travel.

3. Because I see no reason not to

I am inadvertently frugal most of the time. If I want to do something less frugal I do, but I find most of what people spend lots of money on to be.. unnecessary, at best. And Im not going to follow suite just to be like everyone else.
