Understanding Frugality vs. Cheapness
Frugality is about being intentional with spending and focusing on the value obtained from purchases. It emphasizes thoughtful decisions where a higher upfront cost may deliver long-term benefits. In contrast, being cheap centers solely on minimizing expenses, often leading to poor quality choices. This mindset can affect productivity negatively, as opting for the lowest cost items might result in frequent replacements and inefficiencies.
