[quote=Anonymous]I see thriftiness as preferring to save money if you are able to (buying on sale vs. full price, etc.). Thriftiness devolves into cheapness when you choose saving money over the well-being, happiness, etc. of yourself or others. Stocking up on half priced Christmas cards after the holidays is thrifty; skipping the cards altogether because you don't want to spend money you could easily afford is cheap. Buying a discounted six pack of onesies for a newborn who doesn't care what she's wearing is thrifty. Buying ill fitting, misshapen used clothes for a middle schooler who will be teased as a result is cheap if you can afford better.[/quote]
