Forget Budget Apps—The Amish Have the Ultimate Money-Saving System
Everyone Else Is “English”
To the Amish, all outsiders—regardless of nationality, skin color, or language—are simply “English.” It’s not about misunderstanding; it’s tradition. Since referring to everyone as “Americans” wouldn’t work because they’re American too, the label “English” stuck. Whether one’s French, Chinese, or Martian, if they’re not Amish, they’re English.
This simplicity reflects their resistance to constant change, keeping their customs grounded even as the world spins around them. It also inspires a minimalist mindset that saves money. Instead of over-complicating or chasing trends, the Amish show that sticking to a simpler, time-tested way of life reduces unnecessary expenses—and maybe even adds a touch of clarity to a complex world.
