Sometimes the fear of loss often overshadows the joy in gains because most times, people would choose to rather be safe than to be sorry and who doesn't? This is rhetorical, of course, no one wants to go back to ground zero even if they could sacrifice the position they are to move upwards. The reality of the situation is that frugality or the art of being frugal isn't the same as being responsible with spending. It's just being reactive rather than being progressive.
Spending is inevitable and this is because money isn't exactly for saving even if we save, money will be inevitably spent because that's its true purpose. We spend to become accomplishing. This means that there's no way we can run our lives without spending. Every day, we always have to make decisions to spend and the only thing we can aim for is being frugal in the face of indiscipline while being wise in the face of opportunities.
To me, frugality is meant to curtail excessiveness, but some people have become the definition. of Frugal because of the lessons life has taught them. But we cannot cease to live because we're frightened of the consequences that come with making mistakes. In this video, I talked about why frugality isn't a wise choice especially when we're surrounded by myriads of opportunities
