Well, I plan to keep all my ancient underwear.  I don't care what other
people think about my appearance.  Appearance doesn't matter -- only

I think the real problem with the article on frugality is that they didn't
account for the cost of children.  Children are horrendously expensive.

Finally, trying to give psychological explanations for frugality is
pointless.  It is always a good thing in this consumer-oriented
debt-ridden nation.
