Sounds familiar to a book I was forced to read twenty years ago, "The Millionaire Next Door":

A "tightwad" here would be called a "Prodigious Accumulator of Wealth" in the book, a fancy name for a person who continually spends much less than their income.

Most of the rich didn't get there by spending money.
