Ausperity
Ausperity (n.)
A portmanteau combining the best of ‘austerity’ and ‘prosperity’ to describe a way of life for the modern age. The enjoyment of the finer things and the appearance of being a high-flyer while actually keeping firmly within one’s means. A baller on a budget; a player on a monthly paycheck; a social doyenne on the dole.
Ausperity was first outlined in a book of the same name by Lucy Tobin.

Since I’ve become a follower of ausperity, I’ve saved hundreds on my fortnightly dinner parties.
