[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bostonians are no where near as thrifty as Minnesotans I don’t find New Englanders thrifty in the slightest Private schooling, private colleges, second homes at the shore, etc. [/quote] For wealthier people, spending on these things is just what you do, and do not have anything to do with thrift. Thrift comes into play wrt expenditures that are considered frivolous, like fashion, cars, taking taxis when public transport is available, and sometimes food or flight class depending on the person’s preferences. Spending on your children’s education is not considered a frivolity.[/quote] And not "treating your friends" is not considered cheap - you just pay your own way, as you always have. Since Bostonians are self-reliant, they assume other adults are too - which is not a bad thing. [/quote]
