“People who are frugal understand the value of a dollar and make informed and thoughtful decisions. People who are cheap try to spend as little money as possible.”
Frank Sonnenberg, BookSmart: Hundreds of real-world lessons for success and happiness

Stephanie Bond
“Isn't Glen an accountant? We're all frugal." These days, by necessity.

"You might be frugal, but Glen is cheap. For Valentine's Day, he actually suggested that we go to a card shop, exchange cards in the aisle, then put them back because he didn't see the use in spending the money!"

"Okay, that's cheap."

Libby huffed. "I swear, if he cuts up my Bloomingdale's card, I'll cut off his pecker.”
Stephanie Bond, Kill the Competition
