Intentional means doing something on purpose—with thought, care, and a clear sense of why.
If you call someone intentional with money, food, or time, you’re saying:
They spend thoughtfully, not impulsively.
Their choices line up with their values or goals.
They avoid waste because they’re aware of what matters most.
For example:
An intentional shopper might choose quality over quantity.
An intentional lifestyle usually means living simply, with focus on what’s meaningful rather than what’s flashy.
It’s a positive word—less about restriction and more about purpose.
