When Schauna Austin, 48, was 20 years old, she got pregnant and knew she wasn’t ready to raise a child, so she made the difficult decision to give the baby up [for adoption](. She gave birth to a son she named Riley and only had 3 days to spend with him before surrendering him to his new family. So, she held him tight for 72 hours straight.

There is nothing wrong with pinching a few pennies here and there. Most people on a budget or fixed income become really good at learning where they can save money but frugality isn't something you consider when thinking of millionaires.
