However, in doing so I would maximize value. For instance I have a passion for cars but I won't buy a brand new BMW. I'd rather buy a good, reliable used one that's nearing the bottom of the depreciation curve. Frugality is about value, not price or deprivation.

Cheap is using really small glasses over-filled with ice. Not that this has ever happened to me or anything.... Frugal is having a few friends over and buying store brand colas for them.

Taken out of context some actions of mine could be considered cheap, but in the overall context of my life its frugal. Some things are just not as important to me.
