The trouble starts when they cross the fine line between frugal and cheap.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, I recently had lunch with a friend of mine who called me a cheapskate because I dared to bring home a healthy handful of extra napkins that an overzealous fast-food server had placed on the tray with my meal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not cheap,&#8221; I told him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh yes, you are!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Really?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Really.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I just stared at him for a few seconds with that &#8220;WTF?&#8221; look before I finally broke the silence. &#8220;I forgive you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You forgive <strong><em>me<\/em><\/strong>?&#8221; my friend said, &#8220;For what?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For being a moron who doesn&#8217;t know the difference between cheap and frugal.&#8221; (And, no, I didn&#8217;t use the term moron.)<\/p>\n<p>Of course, my buddy and I were just having a little good-natured fun with each other but, still, that little episode got me to thinking: <em>&#8220;What <\/em>is<em> the difference between cheap and frugal?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Oh sure, there are the usual examples of a typical cheapskate. For example, purposely grabbing hundreds of ketchup packets &#8212; or, um, napkins &#8212; from a restaurant. But there are other, subtler, differences too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Difference Between Cheap and Frugal is a Fine Line<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Frugal folk have a long-term, pragmatic, approach to saving money; most wealthy people, including your typical <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id1151-19-things-the-millionaire-next-door-wont-tell-you-2.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">millionaire next door neighbor<\/a>, are naturally frugal. On the other hand, short-term thinking plagues the cheapskates among us. For example, deciding to save a little money upfront by not buying a business suit to wear for job interviews.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike cheapskates, frugal people not only understand that a <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id1494-100-words-on-why-a-penny-saved-is-more-than-a-penny-earned.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">penny saved is more than a penny earned<\/a>, but that those saved pennies are meant to be eventually spent in the pursuit of happiness. Cheapskates tend to save money simply for the sake of, well, saving money.<\/p>\n<p>There are other indicators. The frugalistas of the world are concerned about getting value for their money. Cheapskates usually aren&#8217;t willing to <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id12010-contrarian-shopping-20-things-im-willing-to-pay-more-for-3.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pay more for quality<\/a>; for them, the only thing that matters is the number on price tag.<\/p>\n<p>And while frugal people can be generous, cheapskates find it difficult to be so. I&#8217;m frugal, but I&#8217;m not afraid to occasionally pick up the entire tab for dinner when I&#8217;m out with friends. I know many other frugal folks who are the same way too. That would never happen with a cheapskate.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s another tell: The next time you&#8217;re out dining or shopping, and want to know whether a decision you make is a sign of healthy frugality or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/emmajohnson\/2014\/12\/15\/6-dumb-things-people-do-in-the-name-of-being-frugal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">distasteful cheapness<\/a>, ask yourself whether your action is affecting you alone &#8212; or those around you too. Frugalistas tend to make decisions that only affect themselves. On the other hand, money decisions made by typical cheapskates usually affect those around them. For example, a frugal person would never shortchange a waiter on a well-deserved tip just to save a couple bucks; the cheapskate, however, wouldn&#8217;t think twice.<\/p>\n<p>While being frugal has an almost heroic quality to it, being &#8220;cheap&#8221; has always come with a stigma. After all, <strong><em>nobody<\/em><\/strong> appreciates the tightwad label. After all, striving to spend less than you earn and saving money are noble endeavors, but, like anything else in life, pinching pennies can be taken <strong><em>way<\/em><\/strong> too far &#8212; which is why many people end up being <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id1261-10-key-characteristics-of-debt-free-people-2.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">characterized by others<\/a> as selfish and stingy.<\/p>\n<p>As for whether disparaging labels like that are really warranted, well, that ultimately depends upon whether you&#8217;re cheap or frugal.<\/p>\n<p>Which one are you?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: smaller;\">Photo Credit: David Hilowitz<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Depending on who you talk to, the economy may or may not be booming &#8212; but it seems like there are always more than a few people who are looking to find additional and more creative ways to save a buck or two.
