First it is not that people are misers or non-misers. It is that people see value in different things. Some people do not see any value is driving a BMW or in going out and spending 20 dollars on a dinner. They get much more enjoyment out of staying in a nice home and cooking a meal and sending their kids to a certain school. It is a matter of preference.

Where can you get dinner for $20 p.p. incl. tax/tip/beverage that doesn’t come out of a deep fryer?
