Being frugal as opposed to being cheap
The benefits of frugality have already been lauded elsewhere in this article. A quick way to have more money is to not waste the money you already have on dumb junk, so I encourage everyone to adopt my frugal lifestyle. Frugality is a commendable trait, but it should still have boundaries.
That’s because some people confuse thrift with being cheap, and there’s a significant difference between the two. Also, never treat a guest in your home like a cheap jerk. Even if they work for you, it’s still petty and rude to buy them the cheapest coffee you can find. Get the woman a good cup of coffee. It won’t put you in debt forever.
