[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband has a 25M and goes about in his clean but worn clothes from years ago. When he's forced to buy new ones because there are too many holes in his, he picks the cheapest ones. He's usually very budget conscious, except for his children's education.

Some people just don't give a fig about appearances or what "they should do" and just live their lives however the heck they want. Often they're on the spectrum, because being autistic typically depresses the importance of societal norms.[/quote]

If he always picks the cheapest clothes, that’s a sign that he DOES, in fact, “give a fig” - he cares about the appearance of being wise with money.

It’s not necessarily a virtue.[/quote]

PP you replied to. I entirely agree with you that none of the things described are virtues, and I'm glad we're discussing the nuances of being frugal, vs being cheap and how it affects relationships. But you're wrong about my husband caring about how he appears to others. Why would anyone know how much he spent on his clothes? And he doesn't pick the ones that look nice! I'm a clothes horse. It's hilarious we ended up together :-)
