> Frugality gets a bad rap because most people, like the person you're replying to, advocate depriving themselves of as much as possible for the sake of not spending money - like dying with the highest score is the goal.

That is such a flagrant micharacterization of what I'm trying to say. Don't put words in my mouth. I was asking an honest question about whether the things you spend money on really give you happiness. If they do, awesome. If not, you blew a hole through your finances leading to even more unhappiness.

Just to make myself clear, I don't like money, but I do like to spend them very much, if you never tried, please go ahead and try 12+ years old isles scotch, cohiba maduro, kobe stake... and don't get me started on vacations, 5 star hotels, new car smell, concerts, art...

There are no memories from money in the bank...
