That definition hinges on their definition for “economical” - adding a qualifier like “excessively economical” would’ve been good I think.

Seems like I’m the idiot here.

I had frugal stored as more than just economical.

Thanks for your comments :/

Frugal doesn't mean anything "excessive," it's not the same as a cheapskate or tightwad.

Being frugal just means allocating scarce resources in a way that provides most utility and value.
