And you are referring to bussiness owner. If you own a restaurant, you very damn well be spending most of your time there. There is no easy way out to be reach. People has to work hard to provide for his family.
Frugal in a sense that he wants to own a system but not pay full price for it. By reselling he ends up paying less by selling one or two systems overall. If he gets stucks with all 3 then the plan didn't work. (but he did sell) I have done the same thing. I like something high end but don't like the price of new or even used. Trust me, when i say i have been down the path of reselling stuff over and over just so you can end up paying less for an item i want. it's hard to explain it b/c you think its buying and reselling, but it actuality it's not the whole picture of what I'm doing. Once i end up with the item i want, i move on to something else.

On the business owner, yea their frugal as well. Pay cash for cars to avoid financing. Haggle on pricing on some stuff. Seek out deals for home renovations, etc. I did the same thing this past weekend. Clothing store was 40% off everything. The double stack another 25%off if you total was above $200 after the 40% discount. Double stacking at its best. But then again you can go to goodwill and go used. Either method is frugal. Now Clark howard, ask him about his thermostat really low in his household during the winter. They essentially, bundle up in layers while at home. I'm talking layers of clothing at home.

Frugality, i have buying power and can travel b/c of it..... a means to an end.
