[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Frugality is not cheapness.[/b]

I can’t tell what’s going on with your persons weird list of habits. Volatile job? Came from poverty?

It’s ok to hate overpaying or be a value purchaser, not frivolous shopper.  
It’s weird not to tip in America or stay at krappy hotels to save a buck. There’s a wide range here, it’s not like red roof hotel vs 4S. [/quote]

Would agree there is a huge difference between the two.
A frugal person is not a bad companion. If they can splurge on themselves sometimes and enjoy the fruits of their labor, good. Maybe this person has student debt and is being very self disciplined.
A cheap person is a version of miserly. You can be cheap to yourself but refusing to tip and being cheap to wait staff is kind of awful. Are there charitable donations to meaningful organizations? Even a small amount to the local park one runs in regularly is about paying it forward. A high earner hoarding everything to oneself is kind of a spiritual poverty.
