Well the mustache on the frugal-not-cheap person with zipped lips made me laugh anyway.

Some of it is true, some of it is kinda sorta true, some of it is BS.

Pretty much what I would expect from a "get rich" "guru."

Some really positive stuff on here: think long term, uplift people around you, consider carefully what the value of a particular object to you is.

I think the third one is pretty spot on.  If you're socializing the costs of your choices, you're cheap.

Interesting, now I want to see a comparison between someone who is an irresponsible spendthrift versus someone who is actually using their money to enjoy life in a responsible way.

Starts off pretty good, but runs too long and ends up kinda meh toward the end.

Chart does a great job of showing frugality and cheapness as a long-term/short term thinking issue. Hadn't thought of it that way before.

Am I the only one that sees no chart? It says the chart is below, but it's just some video about goldman sachs.

Yes... a bit of an Easter Egg, perhaps, from when the author(s) researched Frugality?
